Hi there

I am about to make an offer on an 11 month rent in Javea and wondered if anyone local was familiar with the Montañar II area of Javea?   

It's a new building and I think the balcony faces S/W and the Montgo mountain.

Would I be getting sun on the balcony?  I am third up, in a building of 4 levels.  I think it's a 15 min walk to Arenal beach and I'd need to drive to the supermarket.

The agent says that the hot function on the air con is broken and so the landlord will accept a 50 euro reduction in monthly rent to compensate and that we can buy a heater if we need and that we probably won't need it anyway.

Will this be ok?  Will I get sun from the glass patio doors to help with a bit of heat in winter?

Any advice would be great, thanks so much in advance.

Also - we would like to negotiate that they put in wi-fi for us beforehand as we both have computer jobs, based from home, and it's essential we have the internet from the first day.  Do you think this would be possible to negotiate?

As I understand it, the other options is setting up a Spanish bank and taking out a contract and it could take up to a month.  It's not practical for either of us to be sitting in cafes for the types of jobs that we do, even for a day, let alone a month.

Best wishes
