We had the absolute pleasure of staying at John’s apartment for 5 nights while we visited Valencia for a wedding. It is perfectly located and is a great base to be able to get out and explore every corner of the city. We felt very safe staying in the area even when we were returning in the early hours of the morning.
John truly is the host with the most. Quick replies during the booking process and always available during our stay if we had any questions. It was lovely to meet John when we first arrived in Valencia and very kind of him to let us leave our luggage in the apartment even though we had arrived early. He gave us a little tour of the apartment and told us how everything worked. John is the most organised host we have ever met and he has very kindly put together a folder with all the information you could possibly need to know about Valencia. From restaurant recommendations to places of interest they are all listed along with price points and journey times on both foot and bike. We loved reading the folder and looking at the map that is on the wall. It made planing our days very easy.
The apartment itself is centrally located and only a couple of minutes walk from the main market which is must to go and visit. We bought lots of local goodies from here so we could eat breakfast at home every day before heading out and exploring. The kitchen is very well equipped so if you want to prepare bigger meals you can easily do so. The living space is larger than we expected and the sofa is very comfy. We loved the little balconies and sitting watching the hustle and bustle of the square below. The restaurants stay open until late, but you don’t get disturbed by any noise. The bed is large and again very comfy. The shower is is really good and the towels provided were lovely! The apartment was spotlessly clean. John had very kindly left a welcome pack for us as well with some lovely wine, bread, fruit and some other tasty treats too. Such a kind gesture.
Overall we had the most perfect stay ever, in the most amazing apartment, in the most beautiful city. Thank you John for being so awesome and thank you for letting us stay. We will definitely be back one day as there is so much that we still need to see of wonderful Valencia.
