Amazing stay in a lovely apartment. The flat is super well located in one of my favorite neighborhood of Valencia. It's so cool and with a lot of nice restaurant and coffee. We really enjoyed the space and the super big terrase.
PROS:
- Well located in cool neighborhood
- Valencia is small so walking distance to all the interesting spots
- Huge space
- 2 huge bathrooms for 2 rooms
- Super clean
- Super bright (lot of light)
- Amazing patio/terrasse - we enjoyed having our breakfast everyday
- Flexible for check-in time
CONS:
- Advertised as 1 double bed 2 single beds but we had 1 double bed and 1 single (there was one other single bed not built and without bedding so we couldn´t use it)
- It´s a vibrant and buzzing area so escape noise (party) in the evening - wouldn´t be possible to sleep with the windows open.
- To find the key for the check-in was a bit strange (a lock attached to a trash - felt like a "room escape")
- No flexible regarding check-out time (to be fair we accepted it when booking it but thought it could be changed as there was no guest the day after - we were wrong)
- Flat is a bit empty - lack of personalisation : doesn´t really feel like a home but more like a hotel
- We got Shush by the neighbor a Saturday from 6pm to 8pm as we were having a drink in our terasse just 2 people (2 people only, at 6pm !!!).
- No personalisation from the host: no personal greeting, no welcome message, no "guest book", no recommendations etc. or anything you usually expect in an airbnb. It felt much more like a hotel than an airbnb. But I guess it's becoming the norm as more and more it's becoming a business more than anything else.
SUMMARY: We loved our stay in this flat, it was so bright and spacious, very clean and with all the amenaties we needed. Having a patio was amazing, we really enjoyed having breakfast there every morning. The neighborhood is brillant , really cool places and you could go walking everywhere. If accommodation is more important than personalisation/experience, this is really a winner. Good price/value, well located, in impeccable state.
