We were initially very happy with the check-in process and the first impressions of the apartment. Olga (the manager of the apartment) was very nice and always available when we reached out to her. Unfortunately, we still had some issues during our 1-week stay. The stove did not work properly and touching the metal surroundings gave us small electric shocks. This was not resolved during our stay (and to our knowledge also not after our stay) and we were told just to wear shoes when cooking. This helped but the origin of the problem still prevailed and made us feel unsafe. When asking for a financial compensation after our stay, we were told that no anomalies had been found.
In addition, the hot months in the summertime are prone for cockroaches to appear in the streets of Valencia. Unfortunately, these also made their way into our apartment.
The drain in the shower is not working too well and after two days of showering once a day the drain almost stopped working, which led to water not running off and flowing out off the shower into the bathroom.
Although the apartment is on ground level and one might think the noise level would be higher due to people walking by outside, noises mainly come from all other directions. Even loud voices from the cafe and from the apartments next to and above this one can be heard.
In general, the location and the communication with Olga were very good, but our overall impression of the stay was quite affected by the points listed above.
