Had a fantastic time in Valencia and Gemma & Juanfrau were very helpful and available when I needed them. The apartment is lovely although the hot water was an interesting challenge. I stayed for a month and the local area us very safe and friendly.

Very few people though speak English which for me was great as my main reason for going was to improve my Spanish but it could be an issue if you cant speak any.

Travelling around is easy there is a metro less than five minutes walk away and you can buy a ticket for ten journeys which is well worth it as it covers the bus as well. The beach is a long walk but the 32 bus goes there from the end of the road only two minutes from the flat.

The flat is exactly as described and it was lovely to really experience what living in Spain would be like. There is a large supermarket just across the road but be aware it does not open on Sundays like lots of things in Spain which caught me out the first weekend.

Valencia itself is beautiful - for me the favourite place was the Science park which also has the most amazing sealife centre which has to be seen to be believed - the price seems high but it is worth every penny and more. But there is something for everyone and everyone I met was very friendly and helpful. I loved it and I will definitely go back at some point soon.

Overall I thoroughly recommend both the city and the accommodation - thanks again for a lovely stay.
