We were fortunate to spend eight nights at Rafa and Germán’s gorgeous, sunny apartment in the heart of Ruzafa. The location was excellent, an easy walk to Old Town for the sites, but situated in a quaint and lively neighbourhood with numerous cafes and restaurants. We enjoyed two parades from our three Juliet balconies during our stay, thanks to Carnival. We loved being in the centre of the action with the friendly and vibrant locals. The flat is beautifully renovated and chic with the owners’ own art work on display. It was spotlessly clean and well-equipped for meals at home with a comfortable bed, huge shower and thoughtful gifts of beer, water, coffee, chips and Valencian oranges. Germán met us at the apartment and gave us a great orientation. From booking to departure, our hosts were communicative and friendly and offered great tips on restaurants and sites. We recommend this apartment whole-heartedly for a visit to gorgeous Valencia!
