Alejandra was very professional and personable in our dealings with her - the booking process, our arrival at the accommodation and throughout our month-long stay throughout April 2016. She was never intrusive, but let us know that if we needed anything she was always available to help us.
The recently renovated accommodation is in excellent condition and very comfortably furnished with quality appliances - it suited us perfectly. The contentions and orientation are exactly as the photos illustrate and the inventory lists.
The location is extremely convenient for getting around the whole of old Valencia on foot - although for those who need to cover the ground more quickly, bikes are available for hire everywhere and local bus routes are very cheap. On arrival by air, the metro from the airport to Colon only requires you to walk approx. 400m to be in the apartment.
Up-market clothes shops are very close by and El Corte Ingles just around the corner (with a very good supermarket department). The famed Mercado Central is full of wonderful, fresh food and we bought from it regularly. It is also worth locating the small grocery shops are in nearby narrow streets.
There is a huge variety of restaurant and café/bars to choose from and Alejandra has considerable knowledge of many and can offer advice and guide you - depending upon your needs/preferences.
The Turia can be easily accessed on foot and makes a wonderful resource for longer strolls in a pleasant and varied, green environment. It is good to see that many local people make very good use of the facilities. Placa Alfonso is just around the corner and it is very nice to sit there of an evening watching Valencians at their paseo or taking coffee, etc.
The city beaches are wonderful and become quite animated of a weekend. To the south, a convenient bus-ride away, are the 'wilder' beaches near to Albufera - quite empty of the mid-week.
Santiago Calatraver's modern architecture is rightfully a major draw for visitors - they are visually spectacular. However, we strongly recommend that people spend some time also discovering and visiting a number of the very interesting museums that are scattered throughout the old city - entry is very cheap and the content frequently of world class/high standard.
We had a great time, full of activity and variety - we were always comfortable and thank Alejandra very much for her discreet time and attention.
