We stayed in Sergio’s place for 5 days. The place looks little older than images but well maintained so far. We loved the nice touches like croissants upon arrival and plenty of available amenities like shower gel, shampoo, plenty of towels. Kitchen has all necessary equipment and also tea/coffee, salt/sugar, cooking oil etc. It was very easy to communicate with the host, also Sergio arranged for someone to meet us even when we were late and also to collect the keys from the train station when we forgot to leave it. It’s very thoughtful and we appreciate it.
However, few things that are important. We stayed in the end of August. There is no AC in neither one of the bedrooms, one AC available in the living room but it doesn’t reach anywhere else and barely enough to keep one small room cool. It was nearly impossible to sleep for all of us, I couldn’t wait for travel as sleeping was a nightmare with 38 degrees outside and no ability to cool the bedroom. Closing windows and closing shades didn’t help much. The only one fan was not working. Also my mom has spotted few cockroaches in the bathroom at night!!!
The building itself is quite old and dirty, so as the area around. It is very smelly, ones we saw children peeing directly near the door to the block entrance. I guess it has nothing to do with the host. But be aware this is kind of people living in the building. The location is fine to reach the city of Arts and Science (10 min walking). The beach is 30-40 min walk, so as the Valencia City Centre (3km away) which is far more beautiful than the area we were in. Also there is a big supermarket in the building which is super convenient.
Thank you!
