So glad we chose Pilar’s house for our first trip to Valencia! The weather was beautiful and we followed instructions and were able to organise a good flow through of air so the house stayed cool all day. The furniture is comfortable, the kitchen has all utensils you need (including kettle and toaster for the Brits!), and the bathroom is huge with a good shower. Metro or tram to the old town for sightseeing and culture, excellent local market for food shopping, plenty local restaurants and tapas bars and, the highlight, walking to the beach in the late afternoons for a ice cream and to watch the volleyball. We used the terrace most days for meals or lounging and really enjoyed listening to the sounds of the neighbourhood. We really felt we were living in a real place and not a tourist enclave. Superb location, excellent communication (Pilar checked up on us via email midweek, which was kind) and the most stylish and comfortable place to stay. Top wifi as well. Absolutely perfect.
