After 1,5 years of mostly spending time at home, my best friend Jennifer and I decided to escape the rainy-working-from-home-situation in Amsterdam for a while and have a sunny change scenery for a month. As we wanted to enjoy a good balance between beach, city, nature, culture and good food (and wines ) Valencia seemed to be the perfect fit!
Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Audrey, who was so kind to help bringing all our suitcases up to the third floor. He showed us the apartment and made us feel at home right away as well as during our stay, as we frequently had (very smooth!) contact with both Sasha & Audrey just to update them on our stay and how much we enjoyed the Valencian life.
The apartment is located in the middle of the old city center of Valencia very close to Mercat Central and many restaurants, bars and shops. Although that may sound like a bubbly, but nosy location, it was the perfect escape for a cosy, homely and quite home away from home.
Our Valencian home had everything we needed and more, it was lovely and cosy decorated, clean and spacious. It had a balcony on which we enjoyed many wines and snacks with the cutest Spanish view, a rooftop and all the equipment you need in order to enjoy a comfortable stay.
Because we were both partly working, we were looking for an apartment in which we can both enjoy a lovely holiday as well as a comfortable and stable workstation for the weekdays.
The only minor, but sad detail with regard to our stay was the leaving part… It was a true pleasure to experience Valencia as our “home”, which made it the hardest thing to return back to Amsterdam.
We would like to thank Sasha & Audrey for the excellent communication and the warm, cosy and welcoming feeling in Valencia! And as long as the current Covid-situation allows us, Jennifer and I hope to make this stay a yearly tradition as from now on and I truly hope that in our friendship we will be able and privileged to enjoy many more months in our “home away from home”.
