Isabel's apartment is in a great location to explore the city - right by the station and only a short walk to the main neighbourhoods we wanted to visit. It was my birthday during our stay and Isabel left a cake which was such a lovely, personal touch! Check in was very simple - we had an early morning flight and were able to check in early. Isabels friend met us at the apartment and gave us recommendations about the city. Isabel also gave us an extremely comprehensive PDF about the city which was really useful and allowed us to feel like locals.
It is worth noting that the pictures do make the apartment feel brighter and more modern than in reality. This was our first time using Airbnb plus as it was a celebration and we wanted to spend a little more on accommodation for the trip. Although lovely in the morning light, the apartment actually felt quite gloomy in the evenings. The bathroom was a little run down and there was a smell of drainage from the bathroom the whole time we were staying there. The neighbours are also quite noisy and hoovered both late at night and early in the morning. The bedrooms and living room were as pictured and really lovely during the day with the light coming in. Overall the apartment was not quite as we had expected but the location was great and Isabel communicated really well - we had a really pleasant stay and will definitely be back to visit Valencia soon.
