Everything about this place was as perfect as it seemed online. Lorena & David are the most thoughtful, gracious hosts.
They provided me with all the information I needed and showed me around. The house is just perfect! Kitchen is compact and contains everything one needs.
The bed is comfortable, bathroom and patio are excellent. WiFi works smoothly. Location is incredible.
Lorena and David thought of everything! You will find the umbrella and the beach towels at the entrance hall, coffee&tea amenities in the kitchen, the iron, dvds with movies, books, extra warm blanket in the bedroom, and even some bath-salt and candles for your late night relaxation in the bathroom.
This is a beach area, so because of the wind from the sea, it can get chilly outside and also inside of the house in the beginning of April, so dont forget to bring warm socks and pajama pants so you feel comfy when at home (you can also turn on heaters in the bedroom and bathroom). Also pack a warm sweater, a scarf and a puffer jacket so you can enjoy long walks by the sea.
Lorena & David had excellent restaurant recommendations and were of great help. (So many nice places just around the corner: I loved breakfasts and brunches at Estrella de Mar cafe and bakery, they offer pastry, sandwiches, quiches and even offer dinner menu and this cafe is open until 11pm and no siesta breaks!!! I also highly recommend to have your table reserved for lunch AND dinner at Casa Montaña! Best tapas and wine ever and incredible service and atmosphere! Expect long queues at the entrance if you don’t have reservation. Another place for tasty fish and mussels is Tasca Lareina).
The big MERCADONA supermarket is 3 mins away from the house.
There is a cute shop with local arts and souvenirs just in front of the house, at the very corner of the street! Get your postcards from Valencia here! You can buy stamps at one of the Tabaco shops (don’t forget most of shops are closed for siesta starting 3-4pm).
A secondhand clothes flea market takes place every Thursday morning in the streets just in front of the house- get your outfit for 1 Euro!
It takes only 5min walking to the long sandy Malvarrosa beach (get your icecream at Heladeria Xixona right at the beachfront).
The tram station is very close and the tram will bring you to the old town of Valencia.
Thanks for a wonderful week!
I will be back, Elmira
