We enjoyed our time in Valencia. As with any apartment, this unit had advantages and disadvantages.
Pros:
- the location is just south of Ruzafa and immediatly across from a grocery store, which is great!
- it was chilly at night, but the host provides heaters that are very effective
- the apartment is a good size, and the living room gets good light. Lots of storage.
Cons:
- the plumbing in the bathroom emits a strong smell of sewage, which requires constant use of air fresheners
- overall, the apartment (especially the kitchen) were not as clean as the majority of AirBnBs we've visited
- overall, the apartment is becoming run down. The couch in the living area has quadrants of faux leather dangling off of it and looks shoddy at this point. The master mattress hasn't been replaced in a while. All mattresses would benefit from mattress covers.
- kitchen appliances are quite old, including the oven. The oven door routinely pops open while baking, which is a hazard with young children.
