This is a very special apartment, full of character and personality. I've stayed there for 7 weeks and it was an important part of my Valencian experience. The street noise during the night is surely something to be aware of; I've solved the problem by closing doors during the night and switching on the ventilator. It worked very well until the heat came: since there is no air-co, closing the doors made it pretty hot. But generally the apartment is not too hot though, thanks to pile floors and no direct sun in the afternoon. Rafael was very quick in responses; his friend Elena was enormously helping me with cleaning and all the practical questions and issues. It's also a great place to stay with a dog: huge Turia park, which literally a paradise for doggos (drinking stations and fenced playgrounds for-dogs-only are everywhere!), is just in 5 minutes walk. Grocery stores are very close, bus station too, and despite of intensive night life around the corner, the place is safe (probably because there is a police department at the same block). So if you prefer charismatic and authentic places, Rafael's apartment is perfect for you.
