The location of Patri's apartment is perfect. It was 2 blocks from the beach. The air conditioning was excellent. It was 100 degrees for the 3 days we were there and the A/C was fantastic. Patri sent us many recommendations for restaurants and let us know where the supermarkets were and the bike rentals were. FYI.. for the ladies , she had a blow dryer with very good power which was great. Wish I would've known so I didn't have to bring mine. lol There are places to eat on the beach boardwalk as well as in the neighborhood. We took a taxi into the town of Valencia and it was not expensive. There are buses as well but the taxi was inexpensive so we chose that route. You can rent chairs and umbrellas on the beach. Umbrellas were 10 euro and a lounge was 5 euro. Well worth it. Patri has 2 beach chairs that we were able to use. They were older but were fine. We rented bikes and rode through the park. At the end of the park is the Biopark (zoo)which we visited and then rode back. Fun and not expensive to rent bikes. 9 euro for 12 hours. A few things I would comment on.. outside on the patio there were 2 chairs but there were 3 of us. We sat out at night for music and cocktails so I think another comfortable chair or two would be good. And, there is only 1 garbage pail in the whole place/in the kitchen. I think there should be one in the bathrooms if not the bedroom. Every time I had to throw something out I had to go to the kitchen. We enjoyed our stay and would use Patri's place again.
