The apartment is even cuter than in the pictures. Arturo is the perfect host, with a warm and personalized welcome, and phone check-ins to ensure everything is going well. The terrace is incredible -- such a large and private one certainly a rare thing in Valencia. The neighborhood is nice and convenient, with a supermarket, bakery, and pharmacy within 1-2 blocks. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the building is. Never heard any neighbors. Being on the topmost floor certainly helps. I didn't mind the school behind the building at all, in fact it was nice seeing the children arrive in the mornings and play during recess. The kitchen and bathroom are both *brand new* with all the amenities you could want. Would stay in this apartment again if I ever come back to wonderful Valencia.
