Often people don’t scroll to the bottom of a review so I will mention right away that the apartment had cockroaches.
We know this has been highlighted in other reviews before, however as they were from a while ago (2018 and 2019) we figured the host would have solved this issue by now.
Our stay in Valencia was great. Emilio’s place is a great location for beach go-ers. Unfortunately our stay wasn’t completely as expected as highlighted below.
The apartment is ideal for a quick stay and has wifi , a comfy bed , air con and a kitchen with facilities and cooking oils and spices etc, washing machine and a place to hang clothes.
Happy Host/Sara was very helpful in sending over relevant information and transport to the apartment and a guide book was also left on the table with local information.
For a 4 day stay with two people there were a couple of things to note. 2 rolls of toilet paper where provided which we had to replenish. Additionally, no shower gel so make sure you bring your own! It is stated on the booking that shampoo isn’t provided so this could be why.
A washing machine is provided which was very helpful as we had been travelling for some days beforehand, however we did need to buy detergent for this.
We discovered large cockroaches in the apartment and since then felt uncomfortable during the rest of our stay.
Overall the flat is fairly clean, however when we notified the host of the cockroaches they advised this is common in Valencia and that they have disinfected the apartment multiple times but it’s just an unfortunate thing that may happen due to the heat and the type of building/area.
If we had have known it was this common, we would have chosen to stay somewhere else.
Some noise from the air con when first turned on but it does quieten down after a while.
The beach towels where a great add on.
