My daughter and I had a lovely experience at Raquel's apartment. Her father met us on the sidewalk outside the apartment at 10:30PM, which was very nice. The train station is visible from the kitchen window, but our directions had us go the long way around, still it was only 15 minutes on foot with luggage...and there may be an underground passage that would have gotten us there in 5 minutes, but I'm not sure.

He showed us everything we needed to know inside the place and was kind to make recommendations for whatever we asked. He let us know of a late-night market just around the corner, so after he left and we settled a bit, we were able to get a few things to hold us over after a long train ride from Sevilla.

Raquel's apartment had everything we needed and was spotless. The wifi, shower, and A/C were great. The location was excellent...it was quiet for sleeping, yet walking distance to all that we wanted to see and experience in Valencia...and we did it all! It was so nice to be able to cook a few meals in while there. The 2 stove-top burners and oven worked perfectly and she had pots/pans enough to cook a simple meal.

There is no elevator...we didn't mind the 4 flights of stairs once we got our luggage up...Raquel's father was kind to offer to help! The photos are very accurate. It was lovely to have coffee, shower gel and a hairdryer provided...thank you, Raquel!

We left by bus to Barcelona from the station that was not the one closest to the apartment, but a cab ride from the top of the street was less than 5 Euro.

Should we ever find ourselves back in Valencia, we would engage Raquel's place in a minute. Don't hesitate to book this spot.
