Pros:
- Arrival: Walter (a pre-arranged driver/helper) picked us up at the airport- although we spoke spanish, he appeared to be bilingual if one needed this. He was super helpful, waiting for us in airport. Taking us to apt, helped with luggage. He charged for a "taxi" fee with the pick up-- likely more than a random taxi BUT a very well spent one! Super worth it! Very friendly and was available by text whenever we needed it. He was very helpful.
- Apt was located near beach, maybe a pro/con depending on how you feel but it is not in the center of the city but it was really nice with good local restaurants near by and it was not hard to take the metro or taxi to city center. Less touristy in feel. It was large enough for three people to easily stay there with plenty of room. Everything functioned well. Fallas festival week (with the fireworks) was noisy but otherwise, it wouldn't be and this was unavoidable by the host. Beds were typical (adequate but not soft)- but this is so personal- maybe one would love them so firm. Just not my style. Not that we needed it, but parking would be an issue if you had a car.
Cons:
Really- there are really none. Perhaps communication from the host in the days leading up to to checkin could have been better. I didnt have the address of the apt and wondered if I would hear back from anyone. There was no response to several inquiries from host so I emailed the co-host indirectly by inquiring about his listings because I didn't see a direct link to him. He immediately responded and put me in touch with Walter who would be meeting us at checkin and from then on, communication was fabulous via Walter. So maybe there was a glitch? Anyway, it worked out well in the end.
