The apartment is located in a great central location less than a 10 minute walk from Estacio del Nord, we were met at the front door of the building by Mercedes as it works on a security buzzer, the foyer of the building is very well kept and here you take the lift to the 6th floor, the lift does not go all the way to the top floor where the apartment is located, there is a small walk up three flights of stairs to reach the apartment front door.

Mecedes showed us through the tastefully decorated apartment painted in vibrant colours and it was certainly more than meeting our expectations, she was also very helpful in pointing out places to eat, supermarkets & things to do, there is a folder in the apartment detailing this along with transport & bike use.

The apartment itself is bright and well equipped with everything you need and is a real home from home, a well equiped kitchen, TV, Air Con & WiFi, there are 3 large glass sliding doors that dominate the apartment, there are also shutters that are opened & closed manually, when the shutters are open the apartment is bathed in sunlight, however, during the hottest part of the day and when using the air con they are best closed.

When the doors to the terrace are open they lead on to a large open air area with good views over Valencia, there is a table & chairs, hammock and sun loungers, the terrace was bathed in sunlight from early morning to late evening so you can enjoy the roof terrace anytime of the day.

We used the local Consum Supermarket as it has everthing you require and is less than a five minute walk from the apartment, due to the central location of the apartment we walked almost everywhere, we used the bikes once to cycle through Jardin del Turia and is well worth the effort to see Valencia from a different viewpoint, we also used the bus & metro on the few occasions walking was not possible, the bus stops we used were mere minutes away, the buses do take cash and will give change, the Metro is very simplistic with a Metro Station (Bailen) located in the side street Carrer del Dr. Vila Barbera next to the apartment, the Metro is priced by zone (A - D), we used the Metro from Bailen to travel direct to Valencia Airport as the Metro station is located in the terminal building, travel time about twenty minutes and costs about 4 Euros per person.

All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Valencia and when we return would certainly check Mercedes calendar for availabilty.
