My partner and I stayed for 5 nights in mid-October. The space is beautiful, as pictured, and overall felt safe and secure. It is located right in the heart of the oldest part of the city and is great for accessing the central market, lots of sight-seeing on foot, and several choices of bike rental shops for riding through the giant park to the beach.
The hostess, Alba, who works for Jose the owner, greeted us on-time and warmly. She was very helpful and informative by introducing us to all the local landmarks and different lines of transportation, which she circled on a map. Alba also provided several excellent restaurant recommendations. Her pride and affection for Valencia was a wonderful way to welcome us.
A few things to keep in mind:
It was extremely difficult to communicate with Jose and to resolve this issue through Airbnb directly. We booked our stay months in advance (we were planning a multi-city trip), and when we needed to modify our reservation dates due to flight changes, Jose did not respond to any Airbnb messages or emails over a period of several weeks. This inconveniently delayed our ability to finalize air travel plans. Once he did finally respond, he honored our change request, and apologized for the lack of timeliness. By comparison, other Airbnb hosts responded to us promptly within 24 - 48 hours.
Also, the space itself is very functional, convenient, and stylish. Many bathroom and kitchen supplies were provided. However, the space was not very clean. We are okay with a certain level of dust and dirt- but when we arrived the floors were very dirty (hairballs everywhere), the shower filled with water and drained very slowly, dishes inside the cabinets still had food stuck to them, musty towels, and more. It is a beautiful space that deserves better care.
