Carmen’s place feels like coming to visit an old friend- a local vibe, warm, fully equipped and in a prime location between the center of town and the beach. Plenty of markets and cervecerias/arrozerias/tapas establishments nearby! I loved the terrace for afternoon siestas and the place itself was spacious and comfortable- but the shining star is Carmen herself. I can’t say enough about her: lovely, accommodating, willing to assist at any moment- you immediately feel comfortable. She helped me so much during an unexpected event. What a gem! If you want to know the real Valencia stay here.
