Location is good if you want to be in the old town but Altea is small so the many downsides don't make up for it.
Dark, humid and cavernous, hard to tell if it was sunny outside or not or even daytime. None of the windows or the front door close properly letting in noise from the street, neighbours, nearby building works and old town activity. It was hard to sleep even with sound machines and one of the bedrooms doesn't have windows so was very stuffy for sleeping. We didn't use one of the bathrooms because of a very bad sewer smell that came in from the shower. All of the stairs are very steep, not entirely safe and it was hard to carry our small suitcases up to the bedrooms. It rained one day and water leaked in through a plastic skylight onto the stairs. Some simple maintenance, replacing threadbare towels, raising ceiling lamps so they aren't in the way, etc. would make for a much more comfortable property. We had to meet him the proprietor when we were leaving so he could return a cash deposit he had asked for, in addition to what we paid through booking, and he said he was aware of the problems we mentioned.
Edit: Added some photos showing where the water leaks in from the roof, the mold and marks on the walls are a pretty good indication that this has been happening for a while and not due to "excessive heat". It was cool every day when we were there and there isn't central heating so the apartment never got warm inside. It got smoky inside from the neighbours' wood stove or fireplace but it never was warm.
Some basic maintenance and cleaning would go a long way here. Particularly the problems that the owner is aware of and is ignoring, according to how he described things when we spoke with him.

Properties location was excellent. Roof terrace was an added bonus. Was spotlessly clean with a very informative and helpful host from the first point of booking to checking out. Would definitely recommend to others. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Casa Carmen is a lovely traditional house with all the mod cons you have at home. Location is fantastic about 2 mins walk into the centre of the old town square with the beautiful church and 5-7 mins walk down onto the lovely waterfront. it might be a challenge walking back up if you have any mobility issues . The house has everything you could possibly need and the roof terrace is a great bonus. lots of lovely restaurants and cafe bars within walking distance and the market arrives Tuesday at the bottom of the street. we loved the whole experience and Manu is a wonderful host with lots of tips and recommendations for walks or places to visit . would recommend in a heartbeat.
nothing at all.

We loved our stay at Casa Carmen. The house is located right in the old town area of Altea on a picture perfect street. The rooms were quiet, the beds very comfortable, and the kitchen well-equipped. We spent every evening before dinner sitting on the rooftop area looking at the mountains. We walked to the beaches every day and to the town for dinners. Just a wonderful place to stay - and we will definitely return.

This is a great house for a group and is well located and thoughtfully outfitted. The roof deck is terrific. It definitely feels like a rental for tourists, but it's also the kind of house you'd dream of staying in for a long time in Spain. It's wonderfully quiet. For the two of us, it was far more than we needed, but for a family or visiting group, it would be perfect.
Be aware that the owner requires a 150 euro cash deposit upon arrival, something that we missed when reserving because it is buried in the "more information" section of the listing. In all of our travels in Spain over 8 or so trips, we've never had to leave a cash deposit and weren't prepared for it.

Great location in old part of town near great restaurants, cafes and shops. Really stylishly furnished property, whilst remaining homely and comfortable. Nice size rooms and air conditioning/heating units throughout. Great size tv with access to Netflix which was helpful as we visited during the freak rain so it was nice to be able to cosy up and watch a film to get away from being soaked. Kitchen was well equipped and had extras such as coffee pods, dishwasher tablets etc plus a nice bottle of wine as a welcome gift.
Nothing.

Absolutely gorgeous house right in the heart of the old town. The pictures do not do it justice, especially the roof terrace! The hosts were very helpful and kind. I could not recommend this place any higher :)
