Overall, the stay in this apartment was okay. Some positive points:
- the flat is very charmingly decorated & seems like a real family home!
- the location is well-connected through trams, metro, and busses & the neighbourhood is very charming. There are a lot of restaurants and bars nearby, as well as bike rentals.
- we were sent a guide to many nice locations and bars, restaurants, clubs, etc., which was very thoughtful of Maite.
- check in went smoothly & Martha was a lovely & helpful person to talk to!
The negatives:
- it got very, very hot. The fans are only small & provide little relief from the heat and humidity. In the evening, it was hotter in the apartment than it was outside. We had to open every window 24/7 to make the temperature somewhat liveable.
- it wasn’t clean enough. Some dishes in the kitchen weren’t clean, some things were rusty, there were hairs on the floor. The floor itself was a bit sticky in some places & overall, the cleanliness was not on a comfortable level for us. The terrace/view was incredible, as other guests have mentioned, but even there the seats and table were so dusty that we didn’t really feel like using them. Just as we were leaving, we found some ants in the living room.
Overall, it was a charming apartment that provided you with everything you needed but unfortunately details that would’ve made it comfortable, like cleanliness & temperature, were lacking. We still wanna thank Maite for letting us stay in the apartment & providing a good starting point to explore Valencia! :)
