My Valencian visit was all the more delightful for my four night stay in Antonietta’s apartment. An easy walk from Valencia-E. Nord station, you find yourself located in, what felt like, the heart and soul of old Valencia. The first floor apartment (serviced by a lift if you need it) is located on a side street which does attract foot traffic but the noise from passers-by is actually quite a pleasant hubbub white noise (I was staying in late December however). Importantly, the bedroom is situated at the back of the apartment, which provides for a quiet night’s restful sleep.
I found all the amenities as advertised and reviewed by others - the bed is extremely comfortable, good cupboard space, water pressure great, a proper hairdryer, a full kitchen, coffee/tea and water available, and if you had time to watch Netflix, that is there too. A little supermarket is a few metres down the road for light supplies and you have a full array of eateries to chose from within a short distance.
I walked almost everywhere but also made use of the bicycles Antonietta offers, which is a lovely touch.
Antonietta is a warm, friendly and thoughtful host and I felt in very good hands. She popped over to bring some Christmas celebration treats, which was incredibly kind. We communicated well despite my total lack of Spanish. Thanks for making me feel so welcome and looked after Antonietta!
