What can I say… Victoria is just WONDERFUL!! I cannot thank her enough for all the helps she has given us from the moment I book her apartment till after I leave her apartment. She made us feel very welcome from the beginning to the end. She is very responsive, provide a lot of helpful/detail tips, and probably one of the friendliest people I have met. Her apartment was spacious, comfortable, clean, very tastefully decorated, well maintained, and convenient located. I traveled with my husband and to one point, my husband actually prefer to stay home vs. go out and explore the town since the place is so comfortable (I think that says a lot already!!). Everything you need to see in town is within walkable distance from her place but we end up renting a bike for the day since we only have one full day in town, we had a wonderful time(less than 20 Euro a day). Also, taxi is pretty cheap (one way to the airport was less than 14 Euro and to the nearest train station was less than 10 Euro). We had travel for more than a week when we arrived and I started to get a little homesick. Being able to stay at Victoria’s place definitely made me feel better.

We visited two cities in Spain, Valencia and Barcelona. In general, we had a much better experience with the people we met in Valencia compared to Barcelona. People were very friendly and honest, for example, we asked for recommendation at a tapa place and were originally thinking about ordering 4-5 dishes while the waitress voluntarily recommended 3 dishes to us as she think that will be enough for us. We took the waitress’ advice and were glad that we did. She can well enough just let us order more and earn more money but she didn’t. The market is less than 5 minutes’ walk and the kitchen is fully equipped with whatever you need. We regret not being able to stay longer and dine-in; otherwise the seafood from the market looks so fresh!! The town is very cute and definitely good if you want some more authentic experience. Also, the architectures of Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias are just beautiful; we took a lot of good pictures while we visited. Not to mention, I had the best paella in my life here, it is not like the normal greasy kind I had in other places. I would definitely recommend Victoria’s apartment to anyone who is visiting the area, you cannot ask for a better host!!
