Simply superb is the only way I can sum up my experience at Michael’s home.
His apartment is very well located in El Cabanyal and is only a stone’s throw from Las Arenas beach and the marina. Getting into the city is quick and easy as the 19/92 buses leave from just outside the front door and take 20 mins. The tram and metro is also close by, so easy for airport and mainline train station access too. My favourite way to get about was by bike and the hire shop down the street which Michael recommended was great. The area is safe and I felt at ease regardless of the time of day I was coming or going.
The apartment itself is wonderful. A very spacious lounge with a dining table makes for a great breakfast space in the morning. I used it to catch up on work one afternoon too. The bedroom is fantastic. Huge, comfortable bed, lots of wardrobe space, a full-length mirror, and a great terrace to enjoy a coffee on. Even the plug sockets were conveniently located for everything! I appreciated the powerful shower and the fully equipped kitchen. Thank you for the shelves in the cupboard and fridge too!
I would not hesitate to recommend Michael’s place to anyone searching for a peaceful base away from the hustle of Valencia city centre. Michael was a fantastic host and his recommendations for what to do, see and eat were all spot on. I couldn’t have felt more at home and I looked forward to our conversations every day. When I return to Valencia next time, I hope to be able to stay here again!
