We honestly don't think you could find a more perfectly located apartment in all of Valencia. When we walked out our door and went in any direction, we were always in the thick of things...the coolest neighborhoods, the most beautiful architecture, ever possible store, restaurant, cafe or place of interest you could ask for.
As for the apartment, it's huge compared to many places we've stayed in Europe. The living space is large, the floor to ceiling windows bring in some really nice light, the kitchen is large compared to most, the building is quiet, having a lift from the street level is handy, the air conditioner works great which we needed as it was hot in Valencia during our stay.
We wanted to rate Jose's place with 5 stars and it pains us that we had to mark it 4 stars because of the shower. The shower head was leaking so bad, that there wasn't any pressure coming out of the head itself and instead, all the water was running down the shower hose to the bottom of the shower. There's nothing more disappointing after a hot day in the sun and humidity, then not being able to take a nice shower. We even reached out to Jose letting him know the issue and we even offered to find one and install a new shower head/hose combo but as soon as we mentioned this issue, Jose went dark on us. As a matter of fact, as we write this review, he still has never gotten back about the issue. The other thing that caused us to rate Jose's place with 4 stars is that there was some mold in the shower as well which is something that could easily be solved.
Anyhow, we don't want to drawn things out with the shower issue but it does pain us that we could not rate Jose's apartment with 4 stars and it's all due to the two shower issues.
If you're thinking of renting Jose's place, DO IT!! You won't find anything as nice as this, in such an amazing location with so much room on a quiet street. Just make sure the shower situation has been resolved and then you can rate the apartment 5 stars as it should be.
Cheers,
