Advantages:
A very good location, reasonable price, equipped kitchen, nice bathroom, comfortable bed (if you like hard beds like we do), air conditioning. Smooth communication with the owner, convenient check-in and check-out, outside locker for luggage in case of an early arrival, English friendly.
Disadvantages:
The apartment is unfortunately very dark and humid. There is barely any natural light or air as it’s in the basement. (Perhaps it’s the norm in Valencia and we are just not used to it.) Poor ventilation, none of our clothes or towels would dry, unpleasant fungus like smell. It was fine for three days, however, I would not prefer to stay for longer. I would not recommend to someone with allergies like me.
Recommendations:
The place could really use some care and freshen up to be honest, looks a bit neglected - perhaps a fresh paint and a dehumidifier. I would suggest to provide a rack to dry clothing and towels, more cleaning equipment, some proper bathroom products, more dishes for two people, larger closet. There is also enough space for a small table with two chairs for eating. The windows are not well isolated, so there is a lot of noise during the night, we didn’t mind as we are heavy sleepers (and also it’s Spain), but you might want to reconsider this if you prefer quiet evenings and nights. Wifi was working fine for us, I’ve noticed that was an issue for others - not us.
Requires fixing for the next guests: window curtains get stuck, shower is leaking heavily (!) all over the bathroom, one lamp not working
