Located in the heart of Valencia, this apartment is perfectly situated for seeing all the sites of the city. It is within easy walking distance of many attractions, and there is good bus service to other areas. This is a fabulous location if you are planning to visit for the Fallas festival. We enjoy riding bikes (check out Kleta for a great deal on bikes!), and from this apartment we were able to easily cycle to the City of Arts and Sciences, El Cabanyal, Rusafa, and to enjoy the entirety of the beautiful Turia Gardens. There are several good grocery stores close by, bakeries, convenience stores and tons of restaurants. It is easy to head over to the Mercado Central and pick up prepared food for an easy meal or fresh food to cook in the apartment. The kitchen is stocked for cooking.
The entire apartment is thoughtfully laid out for travellers, with lots of storage, chairs for sitting on the balconies, spare sheets and towels, a comfy sofa and a comfortable bed. We were in Valencia for Fallas, which can get LOUD, but with the wooden window covers closed in the front and the roll down shutter closed in the back bedroom, the apartment is quiet enough and we slept very well.
Petra met us at the apartment for an early checkin and showed us the suite and the building. She had a bottle of wine and a basket of oranges for us. There were maps and information and she showed us the location of stores and attractions on the map. I asked for a recommendation for paella and she told us a really good place to go. I also asked about Fallas, and she sent the schedule to me electronically that day. Carlos came to check us out and asked if there was anything the apartment needs or that could be improved. We’ve never had a host do that before and we were really impressed. I guess that’s why the place is so good.
