I have to say that I am very, very happy about the choice I made when I rented this lovely flat from Iván & Carmina for my short stay in Valencia this January. The apartment might not be the largest you'll ever see, but it certainly has everything you'll need: a bathroom with authentic ceiling and even antique furniture, a compact kitchen space that has it all, a comfy bed and a couch, a table and chairs if you decide to eat in or work at your laptop (I would insistently advise against both, but that's just me), an A/C against summer heat, or, in my case, for those very few nights when it gets chilly, a pretty roof terrace to enjoy a morning "cafecito" before you hit the narrow streets of Valencia, a convenient location in the heart of the old town, and, my personal favourite: a really stylish brick wall!
And a great bonus on top of all of this is the most attentive host Iván, who will not just show you around the house, but will also share a handful of his personal recommendations on places to eat - and what can be better than tips from a local with good taste? More than that, if so happens that you are too silly to figure out how to operate a simple coffee maker (like myself...), Iván is patient enough to stop by and leave another coffee maker at the door, without you even asking. An example for all hosts to follow!
