Patri’s apartment is in a great location if you plan to stay near the beach. With 2 small children, this is the reason we chose it and we weren’t disappointed. The apartment is close to the more lively end of the beach and the promenade which is packed with restaurants and ice cream shops. There are other cafes, restaurants, small supermarkets and children’s playparks close by also. The apartment is also very close to the tram stop to head in the city centre and to change for the airport. It is affordable to travel around locally by taxi too if you are a family.
Unlike the name “loft apartment” suggests, this apartment is not on the top floor of the block. It is on the second floor but that is a blessing as you don’t need to climb so many flights of stairs! We found the apartment to be spacious, clean and well equipped. The washing machine was easy to use and I found a short cycle which was all that was needed to rinse through our children’s swim togs. It was easy to hang items to dry on the balcony leading over the courtyard. The kitchen made it easy for us to eat in when we chose to. The bathroom was spacious and well furnished. There was lots of wardrobe and shelf space in the bedrooms. We felt secure as there is an extensive lock on the apartment door and also the door at pavement level locked too (with Police station next door!).
We arrived in Valencia in the evening time and Patri organised for us to be met at the apartment and settled in which was a nice welcome. On our check out day our flight home was not until evening and we were permitted to leave luggage in the apartment until mid-afternoon which we found to be a great help.
In general, the apartment is commensurate with the photos and description on Airbnb and we would definitely use this apartment again if we visit Valencia in the future. If you are a couple or a family with 2 children looking to explore Valencia then we would highly recommend this accommodation.
