The apartment is fantastic! When I saw the pictures, I thought it maybe couldn't live up to how nice they looked but it absolutely did.
Location was spot on. It's so close to the beach, (with an excellent ice cream shop on the end of the road) but you're not part of a new beachfront development, you're still part of Cabanyal with its lovely old streets and fabulous local market (be bold and try the cuttlefish, its excellent!). The tram stop is around the corner from the flat but you can easily walk to the Metro station. Then it's only 10/15mins into the centre of Valencia. Last time we came, we stayed in the very centre but I preferred staying at the beach this time. It meant you could escape the city when it got too busy and enjoy the slower pace of the shore (We were there during Fallas so it was pretty busy in the centre!).
The apartment had absolutely everything we needed. The kitchen is fully equipped and easy to use (press and hold the power button on the hob to turn it on, that was the only bit that took a bit of experimentation.) The choice of table inside or outside was very useful for the time of year. The bed was very comfortable, as was the sofa. The Chromecast on the TV is a really nice touch and we were able to stream some netflix in the evening after tiring ourselves out walking around town.
Other reviews mentioned the noise from the tram so I was a little concerned before going, however it turned out to be no issue for us. Yes, you can hear the tram from inside the flat but it's just like a truck going past on the street. Perhaps if we weren't city folk, and we were used to silence in the countryside it would be unexpected, but we barely noticed it.
Julia is an excellent host. She was always quick to respond to a text when we had questions. The checkin/out procedure was totally pain-free and easily explained in the guidebook provided by Julia before we arrived. We would have no issues staying here again.
