When you plan to stay in one of the old European cities you would wish for an apartment that is close to the most beautiful parts of the city but at the same time quiet and neighborly. The problem, of course, is that such places do not exist. Well, Claude's apartment is an exception. After a week's stay in Valencia, during which time I have walked nearly all neighborhoods and streets of the old city, I can honestly say that I would not wish to stay in any other neighborhood in Valencia. Nor, would I trade Claude's apartment for any other place. The apartment is in a beautifully restored old building, it has a perfect plan with two separate suits, each with its own bathroom, that give privacy to all parties staying in the apartment. Those who appreciate quality things in life will enjoy brand new appliances from Miele, dinnerware from Villeroy and Boch, and wonderful linens. On top of all that Claude is about the most thoughtful and reliable person to do business with. If you look for a place to stay in Valencia, look no more, just hope Claude's apartment is available for the time you need it.
