We have just returned from a 3 night break. We liked the Cabanal area and the apartment was in a perfect location. It was easy to walk to places once we got our bearings - bike hire, the port, the beach, bars, restaurants, Mercadona supermarket and metro station Maritim Serreria - you can get metro to Valencia city centre (underground to Xàtiva/Colon or overground to Pont de Fusta - walk across bridge and through Serranos Gate). The apartment was well equipped and had everything we needed and more - we appreciated the ‘welcome gift’ of wine, chocolate, olives, crackers etc and we were grateful that we were supplied with -
- Food to start us off - coffee pods, tea bags, milk, bread, jam, cereal, yoghurts, biscuits, bottles of water, croissants, eggs etc.
- There was also vinegar, oil, herbs, salt and pepper etc for guests to use.
- Toiletries - shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, body lotion, toothpaste and toothbrushes, cleansing wipes
- Household bits - washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs, kitchen roll
We have never stayed in such a well equipped air B and B accommodation and it made life a lot easier and cut down on shopping time and spending. There was also a house manual and manual on local area, maps and leaflets. Thank you Rafa.
Rafa was an excellent host. I had a number of queries before we came including sorting out tickets for a Valencia football match and organising transfers. He always responded very quickly and was very helpful.
Check in time is 5pm and check out time is 11am to allow for cleaning - we were very fortunate and could get in earlier on arrival but it depends whether there are guests before or after you. However, there is a cupboard you can use to leave your cases and then you can go and explore the area and come back later. We used this on the last day and it all worked very well.
The metro system was great and you can get this from airport - 36mins and €3.90. It’s a 6min straight forward walk to apartment from metro and we would do this next time.
We would recommend this accommodation to anyone who wants to enjoy Valencia but have the advantage of staying in a quieter district.
We hope to return!
