First of all; the apartment is much nicer in real life than it is in the pictures shown in the ad. It really is fully equipped too, with washing machine, dish washer, air conditioner and so on. On top of that, it is equipped with schampoo, conditioner, beach towels, fresh fruit on arrival, a few drinks in the fridge if you come empty handed.. small things like that to make you feel welcome.
The location is great - a short walk from the city centre and plaza ajuntamiento (takes about five minutes), a supermercado just two minutes away and subway station (Xativa) just around the corner. To go from and to the airport you can either take the subway or just go the 10 metres to estacio del nord, where trains will take you to the airport.
Vanessa was also very helpful and gave us a lot of suggestions on what to see and do. I really recommend staying at Vanessa's!
