Maria’s place was perfect for us to stay close to the beach and still have good transportation to the center of Valencia. Even though it was on the ground floor it did have good windows with a decorative curtain so we could let in light and not be seen by passerby’s. We really appreciated being able to use the washing machine as we went to the beach quite a bit and also needed to wash clothes halfway through our time in Spain. She also left us breakfast ingredients and coffee which was a nice surprise! She was very communicative and gave us good advice about the area and tips about the apartment. Overall it was perfect for our stay and we highly recommend staying at her place.
