The apartment is in an incredible location, central to everything. However, it was very loud - recycling and trash for the surrounding apartments and restaurants were right under the window and it was impossible to sleep. I was there during the summer and without air conditioning had to keep the window open and heard bottles shattering and trucks getting garbage at all hours of night/morning. The drains smelled like sulfur/sewage. The host did come to check it out and read the shower but the issue was the drains. This smell is noted in a few other reviews.
The hot water did not work three of the days. Cristina said that she checked and it did work and asked me to “make sure there was an issue before contacting her” as she had to come in from outside Valencia. This issue with waiting for hot water/no hot water was mentioned in several reviews once I went back through them so it’s unfortunate she implied I was somehow making it up/mistaken. It worked the first day, i spent 15 min waiting for hot water the second day, and got none the last.
I was only compensated 50 euro for the trip but for the amount I paid and for (1) not sleeping, (2) the horrible smell, (3) and no shower, I feel like I should have been refunded more.
