Vicente is the best Airbnb host I’ve ever met. He went so far over and above what you expect from a host and could not have done more to make me feel at home and happy in his place.
I had the middle sized room which is at the interior of the building, away from the bustling road out front. It is not big, but it is well equipped, the bed is SUPER comfy and the room is very quiet. There is a ceiling fan, and keeping the door to the patio open helps keep it from being too stuffy, even in July when the city gets very hot.
Vicente also kindly let me use the dining / office area to work in and it was airy, comfortable and the wifi is strong.
The location of the flat is good with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, and it’s only a 15 min shaded walk to the historic centre or to Russafa for more options. I stayed for a month so joined the nearby gym which has two huge pools and does spin, yoga, pump classes as well as the usual equipment you’d expect. You can also be in the Turia park within 10 mins of the flat too. And buses to the beach go every ten mins from almost outside the front door and take about 40 mins. It’s also very handy for the airport.
Overall I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Vicente as a host. If you’re looking somewhere a little bit away from the madding crowd of tourists in the centre, and living as the Valencians do while still being within walking distance of all the main sights, this is a really good option.
