Rafa's apartment was absolutely perfect. The location couldn't have been better and my mother and I loved exploring wonderful Valencia. The apartment was so centrally located that we didn't require taxis and walked to many excellent restaurants, bars, shops, galleries, and attractions. Despite being so central, it was extremely quiet with very little passing traffic or noise. There is a nearby taxi rank on the square which was helpful for the journey back to the airport.
The apartment itself was stunning, spotlessly clean and extremely stylish - even better than in the photos! We had lots of room and really appreciated the kind welcome pack and breakfast items (especially as Rafa had provided rice milk and non-dairy products as I am vegan). The rooftop was lovely and spacious, although as we were visiting in mid-January, we didn't make the best use of it but it would be ideal for in warmer months. It was certainly warmer than in the UK though!
We met with Lidon who was very helpful and friendly, answering all of our questions and pointing out key attractions. Both Rafa and Lidon were very quick to respond to enquiries which was greatly appreciated.
The apartment was possibly one of the best equipped that I have ever stayed in and really felt like home. The beds and sofa all were very comfortable and the showers excellent. The only slight note was that as the stairs within the apartment between the three floors are quite steep, those with any mobility issues or young children should be aware of this.
I would recommend Rafa's apartment to anyone and hope to return soon - thanks!
