Maria’s apartment is a great spot to stay if you want to explore Valencia, close to the city yet in a well appointed residential area with cafes and shops and a great supermarket very close by. The apartment itself has everything you need and is a home away from home with all mod cons. The big terrace is great to sunbathe for sunny mornings and to chill for the slightly cooler evenings. We travelled during a very hot period so needed fans for the bedrooms, which we found but have suggested to Maria they be updated. Air con was available in the living area only. The apt is on the 8th floor with a small lift, I used the stairs all the time and the stairwell is small and very hot, with little air vents. My mum used the lift which broke unfortunately for a day and evening when we were there but it was fixed the next day in time for getting luggage down to the ground floor.
Bedrooms are spacious and comfy, just a little stuffy in v hot weather.
Check in on the check in app was fine once we had directions from Maria and access to the building was fine too as we had directions. Retrieving the apt key from the lock box outside the apartment was a little tricky but we were tired after travel and it was late at night. Once we were in the space was great! Taxis are so reasonable and available and we enjoyed the local neighborhood restaurant Cameleon for a lovely and very good value lunch. Great to have English language stations with movies and Netflix also. Communication with Maria was fine just a little delayed. Overall a great place to stay in a great city!
