This is an extraordinary value in an historic part of a great city within walking distance of many of the places you will want to see. It simply has everything. The ebullient and super-charming host has attended to almost every detail. Washer, full-size, refrigerator, range and oven, a/c that spills over into the bedroom for hot Valencian nights. The terrace is a big plus as it creates an indoor/outdoor living space. You won’t be doing any nude sunbathing out there. In this old quarter of the city, the buildings are very close. The apartment itself is very private though. You are at the top. No one above. There were three things I especially loved: 1) the Nespresso Dolce Vita coffee machine. It produces cafe-quality coffee every morning. Pods were helpfully provided but I bought my own for delicious coffee. 2) I LOVED the shower. In my experience most showers in Europe are designed to look “modern” and chic and are EXTREMELY UNSAFE with lots of glass and unreliable hot water. When it comes to showers, Europe values form over function, and daring expanses of glass over safety. The shower here is all brick on one side, easy to get into and out of and has tons of hot water. And no glass to slash your artery if you slip. 3) The refrigerator is FULL SIZE with a huge freezer. It works. The bathroom as well as the living room and bedroom were immaculately clean. If you needed something and looked for it, chances are it would be there. Washer worked well and quickly. Just dry on terrace in the perpetual Valencian sun. The location of the apartment is incredible. Many great restaurants close by and on Saturday night you can literally walk two enchanting miles with nary a car with sidewalk cafes and restaurants all along the way. Stop for an Agua de Valencia and some bocadillos or tapas. There are some drawbacks. The street is pedestrians only I think and we found taxis and Ubers very difficult to hail. I’m sure there is an easy trick or a nearby taxi stand we were unaware of. Really, forget Uber. Uber Eats gets lost. You have to go look for them on adjacent streets. Then there are the infamous stairs. The apartment is on the top floor. That is the 3rd floor by European standards (they don’t count the ground floor) and the 4th by the American system which always counts the ground floor as floor one. There are 56 stairs. I counted them. I walk with a cane. I had no trouble climbing these stairs (I just can’t do it while holding a glass bottle in my hand). The range/oven was a complete mystery to me (it’s operated by touch) but my boyfriend explained it to me. Other quirky aspects are the windows that open and close in an unusual way: ask the owner how to use these. The owner’s guide is the most extensive I have ever seen. Very complete. A real connoisseur’s guide to the area. The area is a little funky in some ways. It’s like being in Naples, Italy. Working class people just going about their business. I’ve read some reviews about neighbor noise. The building was so quiet I began to wonder if there was any one else alive in it. You will here the sounds of people talking in the streets below from time to time. Children in the morning playing in the distance. But there are no noisy bars nearby and our sleep was not once interrupted by ambient noise elsewhere. It was remarkably quiet. This is a great place with an extremely thoughtful owner. Don’t abuse his kindness as I did: pack light so if he insists on carrying your bag he doesn’t risk a coronary.
