My husband, my dog and I had a great time in Valencia, but we had some mixed feelings about our stay. I'll just list some pros and cons to be as fair and clear as possible.
Pros:
- Location is great, right in the center of the old town. Everything there is to see is reachable on foot. Many restaurants and bars around.
- The place is quite spacious for a couple and the kitchen is well equipped.
- Claudio is polite and was quick to answer any questions.
Cons:
- It's very very loud. I cannot stress this enough. The apartment is faced to a back alley where the trash bins are, so all the local merchants use it until very late at night (we were unable to sleep until 2am most nights). Also, they all start opening the shops at 9am sharp and you can hear everything very loudly.
- The bed was not great. The mattress is very stiff and pillows very flat. In a addition, all sheets and towels were very worn out. From the second night on I slept on the couch and was way more comfortable there.
In conclusion, it can be a great place for 1 or 2 nights if you are a heavy sleeper with earplugs, or if you plan on sleeping very late and you are not very picky about your bedroom settings.
