The apartment of Susana and Jose is located in the historic and beautiful Barrio del Carmen – opposite of the Mercat Central. This market is just great. I've been there every morning to get fresh juices, fruits, cheese and so on. There are also three bakeries within half a minute walking distance. And of course plenty of restaurants, bars and small shops. Most of the sights are in a walking distance. We even walked to the Science City. And the bus stop to the beach is very close (it takes about 30-40 minutes depending on the traffic).
The apartment itself is very clean and the kitchen is well equipped. The beds are comfortable.
Susana was always very helpful and the check-in was absolutely smooth. She was already waiting in the apartment at our arrival, which was very convenient for us.
A recommendation for noise sensitive guests: Take ear-plugs with you. Although it is on the 3rd floor, it can be loud during the night due to the many bars and restaurants around. We have been there over New Year, this was definitely a very «festive» time. But anyway: With ear-plugs no problem at all and our 9-year-old son slept very well – even without ear-plugs.
Another recommendation: If you go there in wintertime make sure to bring some warm socks or slippers with you.
Valencia is a great city and we will definitely come back – and stay again with Susana and Jose.
