Miranda Apartment with FREE PARKING

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Miranda Apartment? The fact that they actually deliver on that “FREE PARKING” promise – and honestly, if you’ve ever tried to park in Puerto de la Cruz, you’ll understand why I’m leading with this. The apartment sits on Calle Benjamin J. Miranda, which is one of those quieter residential streets that locals prefer but tourists rarely stumble upon by accident. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the main plaza, close enough that you can hear the distant buzz of the town center but far enough that you’re not dealing with the late-night revelry that echoes through the more central streets.

The building itself is typical Canarian architecture – you’ll climb up to the second floor (that’s planta 2 for those keeping track), and the apartment 2D has this lived-in authenticity that a lot of vacation rentals try to fake but never quite achieve. I mean, this isn’t some sterile hotel room with generic art – it feels like someone’s actual home that they’ve graciously let you borrow. The kitchen is properly equipped, not just for show, and there’s something refreshing about having real plates instead of those flimsy things you get in some places. The Wi-Fi actually works well, which matters more than people admit when they’re trying to stay connected or work remotely. What really won me over was the attention to practical details – good water pressure in the shower, proper blackout curtains (crucial if you’re trying to sleep off jet lag), and enough electrical outlets that you’re not playing musical chairs with your devices.

The neighborhood gives you that authentic Puerto de la Cruz experience without the tourist markup. There’s a little supermarket about two blocks down that locals use, and the woman who runs it actually remembers your face after a day or two. The 8.6 rating makes sense once you spend a few days here – it’s not trying to be fancy, but everything just works the way it should. The only minor thing is that the street can get a bit echoey in the early morning when people are heading to work, but honestly, that’s part of the charm of staying in a real neighborhood rather than some isolated resort bubble. Plus, having that parking spot means you can actually explore the island properly – drive up to Teide, check out the northern coast, or just make grocery runs without the stress of circling blocks looking for a space. For the price point and the genuine local feel, it’s exactly what you want when you’re trying to experience Puerto de la Cruz like someone who actually lives there.
