For me, this apartment/room was disappointing.
The cleaning is done daily, but not to a high standard (eg floors swept badly, floor not mopped, toiletries and food from previous tenants left in bathroom/kitchen, oven billowed our black smoke & dropping ash on my food meaning I had to throw it away). The apartment is tired, probably because of its high turnover of guests. The guests I met were lovely, but were also disappointed with the cleanliness.
I had indicated I would arrive at 8pm after an 8hour bus from Valencia. I arrived on time but the room was not ready yet so I had to head out leaving my luggage in the common area despite not knowing any other guests. I really wanted to have a shower after the bus trip & a hot day but the towel left for me was still wet from being washed after the previous guest, so I had to wait until the next morning. How hard is it to have an extra set of towels so this is never an issue? Nathalia greeted me and was nice enough & showed me a few things on the map.
The kitchen, bathroom & living space had been cleaned to a low standard...food, toiletries and hair on floor from previous guests remained. Nothing creepier than showering with a wall full of toiletries from the “ghosts of past guests”! 😳
The flat doesn’t get much breeze and was very hot. A fan was provided in the bedroom though.
It’s also up on the 5th floor with no lift...so you’ll need muscles bringing your luggage up.
I had not been to Valencia before & was visiting as a tourist. I wouldn’t stay in this area again, as it’s a little awkward getting to the beach & tourist spots. Would definitely recommend anyone to hire a bike in Valencia...great way to get around & good infrastructure for it. I’d stay in the old town (or closer to it) if I were to come again.
I have used air Bnb a lot over many years and this definitely was NOT a “superhost” experience.
