I stayed one month in a room offered by Ilona and her parents in Valencia’s Ciudad Vieja; I recommend this offering to anyone, who plans a stay in this beautiful city. At check-in, Ilona’s mom showed me a room in another apartment on the same road. My room was on 7th floor, i.e. little street-noise and much daylight. The apartment had two bathrooms, a large kitchen (large fridge) und common area. Since I participated in professional training, the fast and stable WiFi internet was an important benefit. My training provider, instructor and all classmates were in Germany, using webcams (audio + video). No one noticed that I was >1500km away from my home. Response times by business software, also hosted in Germany, were very low. I passed all exercises and an online exam from this room. Further, the apartment had good and quiet air-con. Ilona and Nadia were always available and helped to make my stay enjoyable. A cleaner also came in twice a week. My reason for coming to Valencia were low Covid incidences, allowing early re-opening of public pools. Hence, a big Thanks to all the people of Valencia for successfully controlling the pandemic.
