Overall we enjoyed our stay in Valencia but encountered a few issues that could have been avoidable. What struck us was the fact that the place looked uncleaned: kitchen equipment was dirty, towels and bed coverings had hairs and black spots and the floors had sand everywhere.
We shared this info with the host, including pictures, and she understood our amazement and were given a fresh set of towels. It was however disappointing to have to start the holiday with doing dishes, cleaning pots & pans, mopping floors and washing most of the bed linnen, but an issue like this is probably easy to solve and avoid in the future and I can understand this is a one off hick-up that shouldn't hold others back from booking.
We had also had the (downstairs?) neighbour come up and in no uncertain terms complain about the noise of the children at 7pm, which seemed rather unreasonable to us.
Apart from that: the flat is nice and bright and the beds are of premium quality. Some furnishings and the shower need some TLC as they show traces of wear-and-tear. Location is very good with the metro nearly in front of the door and a big supermarket nearby. The instructions left at the place are very comprehensive and interesting.
