I very much enjoyed my week long stay in the attic space in El Carmen. It is in a fabulous location, within walking distance to everything. There are a couple things other travelers should be aware of. The space is a steep and narrow climb up 6 short winding floors of steps as others have mentioned - so beware if you have large suitcases (I was OK with a carry on bag). Also the bathroom and shower are tiny. I am 5'3" and 110 pounds and was fine. Those who are larger might find it a bit tight. That said, the room is pretty wonderful. It is an efficiency in all sense of the word. Kitchen set up, including laundry, half refrigerator without freezer, good lighting, and a pull up desk space. The rooftop space is unlocked (note that you have to pull on the handle) and great for drying clothes. Best of all the AC is FABULOUS! I visited Valencia during 90+ degree days (37 C) and looked forward to clicking on that well-functioning unit for comfortable sleeping. Also, the space is professionally cleaned on arrival. And the building and street very quiet.
