PLEASE read my review in it's entirety. I'm struggling on how to rate this apartment, but i have some friends in Valencia who I visited and I think I wasn't made aware of some cultural differences. We had just come from Portugal and I've traveled to Europe many times but there are just some differences if you're coming from the USA. The place is very cute as pictured but it's small as to be expected by comparison to the states. The outside alarmed me a little bit, in America it would've been an abandoned building I would've passed by. The doors are made of wood and had grafitti on them. So initially it looked like boarded up building. The staircase is very narrow so if you have large luggage it will be tricky. It is a very posh-hip space. The shower is tiny and the water heater is small which I didn't consider so the hot water ran out during my shower and my husband couldn't take one until later. And lastly, the mattress was HARD! My husband ended up sleeping in the couch. Our friends who moved to Valencia from the states say the joke all expats tell is they have to ship mattresses from home to Valencia. So again I think these are some cultural differences that are out of the hosts control. They were very polite, the space was sparkling clean and it was in a good location. But my two most important things for lodging are safety and sleeping and both of these were tested slightly. Again, I feel torn about this review, I think there are some cultural differences as I walked around the city I did notice a lot of grafitti. But the space is as pictured on the inside and I can tell they put time and energy into the decor.
