My family and I went to Valencia for medical reasons which had us feeling kind of anxious for some time. However, we had a very nice stay in the city! And I very much recommend Mar’s place!
The apartment is exactly like in the pictures.
Her hosting team is just wonderful. Flor is a sweet girl who had all arranged since before we arrived until we left. She booked cabs and made sure we had all we needed (crib, high chair and other stuff I asked). The communication was on point, probably one of the best on my airbnb experience . We had an minor emergency issue late at night, and they helped right away me with information about hospitals and what to do. I felt safe and well taken care of.
All questions and concerns we had were attended right away.
The location is great, the neighborhood is lively, lots of parks for kids, restaurants and stores for the family. Everything is walking distance.
I was positively surprised with the noise. I thought it would be very noisy because of the neighborhood, but the street is totally fine. On the weekend we heard some drunk people passing by late night but that was about it, no real buzz or recurring annoying noises. Two of the 3 bedrooms face the back of the building so it is really quiet to have kids sleeping there.
There might be an issue with the old infrastructure and has nothing to do with the apartment nor the host. I got used to the European old buildings, the entrance door of the building is REALLY small so is the elevator, a proper pram would not fit it, it has to be one of those YOYO or any travel stroller.
The apartment is big, goes from front street until the back of the building, it has high ceilings and it looks exactly like in the pictures. You don’t have the “cramped” feeling as some smaller places make you feel.
The sheets and towels were nice and clean, also the apartment was very clean upon arrival, we usually don’t wear shoes inside, we were walking on socks the entire time and the socks stayed clean, so yes, it was clean! The washing machine worked perfectly, which is nice when you travel with kids.
I had a very positive stay at Mar and I would recommend it!
