Juan's lovely apartment was perfect! It is exactly what I was looking for: authentic and full of character. The beautiful, very old and organically worn floors feel so nice to walk on. The high ceilings add to how enormous the place feels. You can step out onto one of the balconies for fresh air at any time.
I was very comfortable during my stay in early February. Showcasing *unbeatable* scenery, there are massive, modern windows to isolate any noise from the street. The heater works well when it gets cold and the hot water tank is enormous. I also appreciate how the classic toilet is situated in a separate area.
The location couldn't be better. Make no question, it is right where you want to be.
Juan is a wonderful, sweet Valencian man ready to offer guidance on his amazing city. I hope to return again to see him :)
