Valencia
My wife and I spent seven nights in Valencia in Solana’s apartment at the start of September. Solana met us upon arrival and provided extensive information and recommendations on local attractions, restaurants, bars and shops. There is also an information booklet in the apartment and useful recommendations on Solana’s Airbnb site. This fourth floor apartment is very nicely furnished and has a very well equipped kitchenette, which we used to prepare breakfast and the occasional lunch. It is light and airy and the air conditioning in the living room and fan in the bedroom maintained a comfortable temperature when it was 41 degrees on the streets. The apartment is well located and within walking distance for most of the main attractions. There are numerous restaurants and bars in the area and we tended to dine out in the immediate vicinity. As expected from the location there is some noise from diners in the streets below, but it wasn’t a problem for us. It was nice to hear the chimes of the cathedral bell, which stopped ringing from midnight until 8am. We had a great stay in Solana’s apartment and thoroughly enjoyed Valencia, which is a vibrant, historical and beautiful city.
