It cost the 48-year-old and his three mates just £136 for two nights - or £68 for one - making it just £17 per person.
But there was one bizarre condition.
The tourist, who has over 75,000 followers on TikTok, said: 'I would stay there again, but the only thing is you couldn't be loud after 11pm."
The strange rule stated that tenants had to be quiet after an 11pm curfew - despite it being located right above one of the busiest clubs in town.
Graham explained: "You're above the busiest nightclub in Benidorm that closes at 5am so it's bouncing all night."
The influencer shared a clip of the place on TikTok which amassed 758,000 views.
In the video, Graham can be seen touring the cheap flat with an open plan kitchen-living area, two sofa beds and a TV.
The apartment has stunning views of the holiday hotspot, and big open windows.
There is a huge bathroom with a walk in shower, as well as two single beds in an airy bedroom with a balcony.
He also showed a wraparound balcony with multiple pieces of furniture and views of the swimming pool, sea and strip.

Graham captioned the post: 'Take a look at this Benidorm.'
He said: "We always find cheap places.
'The cost of them puts people off but we have stayed in some hotels that cost a fortune and then had a cheap £160-a-week apartment that is a lot better.
"Don't let the price put you off."
He added: "We have stayed in some really rough places too - it's not all good when it's cheap - but 90 per cent of the time they are sound."
His post has received hundreds of comments online with many slamming the apartment for being too noisy.
One user said: 'Ye get no sleep to much noise. Stayed there.'
Another added: 'Poor man's Dubai.'
One even said that when staying there, they couldn't get any sleep.
'I stayed there years ago … no sleep for 4 days," they said.
Meanwhile another user chimed in: 'Stayed there so loud.'
