Maria's flat was a beautiful, spacious apartment in a prime location. The views from the balcony were absolutely breathtaking; my friends and I were pleased just to sit there with tea and look down at the park, or the modern architect of the science museum. The beach was in walkable distance, as was the city center. There were plenty of delicious restaurants nearby, shops, and banks.
We were met as soon as we arrived to be let in, and were welcomed with a bit of complimentary snacks in the kitchen (bread, crisps, chorizo, tea, etc). Truly, a refreshing way to begin our stay after our journey. We were accommodated very kindly, with Maria's friend Laura even offering to print out our boarding passes before our checkout.
The flat was exactly as the photos advertised, and better! I would reccomend anyone to stay here. If I ever return to Valencia, I'll be hoping to be at Maria's flat again. Truly, 5 stars!
