I visited Valencia only for a couple of days and stayed with Carlos and his son Lucas.
Before arriving Carlos told me how to get to the apartment with the metro from the airport (4,80€ and a little walking and no other transfer needed) and allowed me to check-in early. I was so exhausted from my journey that I had no energy to prepare food or go out for lunch so Carlos offering me to eat with him and his son was very nice and helped me a lot!
The room has a one-person bed with a wardrobe, table, chair, mirror, air conditioner, water heater, some teabags, a cup, water bottle, wifi code, pen and some stationary utensils, luggage scale and small books and brochures about the region, sights and other places you can visit. The windows have shutters but it was mostly better to sleep with an open window to let fresh and colder air in. Outside the window is the terrace. You were able to lock the door.
The bathroom was for my own use and I was given fresh towels and was allowed to use the shampoo/shower soaps etc that were there. Other things like toothpaste, sun screen, after sun, pads etc were also found beneath the sink.
Both rooms that were for your own use, were very clean. The rest of the apartment also.
Using the kitchen, fridge and kitchen appliances and dining table area was no issue and the terrace (closed off and only for the use of the people living in that apartment) covered many plants and a place to sit and eat. You could also use the washing machine and then hang your clothing outside.
The breakfast included tea or coffee, some juice, pan con tomato (bread with tomato spread), nuts and raisins and some fruit. It was very tasty and nutritional for a good start into the day. Carlos also offered that I could take fruit and vegetables out of the fridge to eat if wanted.
He also gave me a bike to use for the time I was there as Valencia is flat and good for exploring with a bicycle and suggested me the different sights and places in the city to go to.
The location is a 10min walk from the metro, from which you can go to the airport (or the other way round) if needed. It is right next to the Jardi Turia (a large park that goes through a big part of the city) which is beautiful to walk or bike through. You can walk 15mins into the city center or if you do not want to walk: the next two bus stops are 1min away, just like a supermarket, fruit and vegetable shop and a pharmacy. The beach is a little far: either 30mins by bike and 1h with the bus.
Carlos and Lucas were always ready to help and really welcoming to me. I will come back again.
