We are a family a four and had a great time visiting Valencia. As we visited in August we thought it would be better to stay by the beach rather than in the city centre. It was very hot for the five days we were there, but sightseeing in the morning, followed by the beach in the afternoon/evening worked really well. Carlos, the manger, was great. He met us when we arrived and gave us lots of local information on how to get into the city, where the supermarket was, and recommended a couple of good restaurants.
The location of the apartment worked really well for us, easy walking distance to the beach (less than 5 minutes), supermarket less than 10 minutes walk, and plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance. The tram stop is less than a 5 minute walk which gives easy access to the tram/metro network. The bus stop right outside also takes you to the city centre. It takes about 20 minutes to get into the city, we were happy with this as we had the beach!
The apartment was clean and had everything that you would need. It was certainly spacious enough for us and it was very handy having the additional shower room. There was a good selection of beach equipment that we could use which was very much appreciated. It was also great to have a balcony, especially for breakfast and late night drinks.
It was very easy to communicate with Sonia, the owner, she always replied to emails very quickly and in great detail. If we return to Valencia we would definitely stay in this apartment again.
