The apartment was very nice and really well located, but there was a lot of noise from the streets between 7am and 2am. Also, the beds made a lot of noise at the slightest move. We had brought our earplugs but didn't feel the need to use them. Raquel’s response to my email the week before our stay wasn't the quickest (it came after 4 days and several messages from me), which worried me a bit. Her communication/lack of English skills caused some confusion. She wrote: "It's no problem to leave at 5pm, I don't have other guest" but actually meant "It's no problem to leave at 5pm IF I don't have other guests". There were, of course, other guests. Luckily, the train station – a two minute walk from the apartment - has lockers. With the message "I need you to leave at 12." she actually meant "I need to you to leave BY 12." These communication issues caused some stress, but this is still a great apartment to stay in for a city trip to Valencia.
