The apartment is quite spacious and comfortable. I was there for 5-1/2 months and really have no complaints. From what my guests told me, the front bedroom can get noisy at night due to people walking by. But earplugs can remedy that. It would be nice if the windows did a better job at blocking out noise but it didn't bother me enough to be irritated by it. The washing machine, dishwasher, stove (electric) and microwave all work well. There is a kids park in front of the apartment which is great if you have kids. It is locked up every night around 9 so you don't have to worry about noise from it. I was there over Fallas and that was a trip and a half. Quite amazing to witness all that goes on. If you don't like noise (very loud fire crackers at all hours) and crowds (in the downtown area), stay away. But quite a celebration to behold. The apartment is located such that parades during that time went right down the street and you just had to open the sliding glass door to watch it all. Old town is only 10 minutes or so away and the Plaza Ayuntamiento only about 25 minutes or so. Valencia is flat so the walking is very easy. There is a bus stop almost right in front of the apartment and the tram to the beach and the rest of the metro system is less than 5 minutes away. 3 grocery stores are no more than 10 minutes away and 3 pharmacies even closer. Even though Dmitry lives in the Ukraine, it was always very easy to communicate with him. Regarding the tv. There are many stations with English speaking shows if you desire. Plus, you can have subtitles. Enjoy your time is this apartment and in Valencia. Saludos!
