We have been using Airbnb for several years to locate rentals. Some have been as described, others not quite.
Javier's was IDEAL. The building itself is very quiet and safe. A beautiful, spotless and uniquely decorated by the host and his wife apartment located in the heart of Valence, walkable to everything . I think it is our favorite rental to date. Javier is professional, responsive and caring host. He goes above and beyond to make sure everything is to your standards. Javier welcomed us personally and also shared great tips for getting around, restaurants and recommendations, which was very much appreciated. A lot of things made this apartment particularly nice: the layout and arrangement, fully equipped kichen comes stocked with tea and snacks, the washer is also a dryer, which was super useful for a short stay. Oh, and the bathroom itself probably deserves to be a tourist attraction!
I wish I could stay longer there!
