- Nice place but with some things to improve -
Gemma's place has the perfect location in Valencia. The apartment is located just in the center of the city, sights to visit and nice restaurants and bars are within walking distance. Gemma was a good host, she was really on time for check in and was receptive and attentive during our stay. Previous our stay we didn't receive any message from her, only til the day before our trip to Valencia and we had to text her first. The communication pre-stay could improve a little bit but once we were there it went smoothly. The apartment is well equipped and has everything you need for a short stay in Valencia, the size is perfect for a couple and the airco is certainly a plus during warm days in the city. There are also certain points to improve like the hygiene of the place. The cleaning seems a little superficial and the bathroom needs some renovations. We had bad luck and went to Valencia just right after the rainy season and apparently the sewage system of the city struggles after so much rain. The bathroom gave off a bad smell and as the apartment is small and the ventilation is not so good, the smell tended to concentrate and it was pretty unpleasant. After walking through the city we realised it is a general problem and not only from the apartment. Gemma was prompt to help us improve it with some products but it didn't work that good. In short, the place is ok, not amazing, but if you will be mostly outside checking out the city and you are not so picky with cleaning or humidity, this might be the right place to stay for you, if that is not the case I would not recommend it.
