We stayed at Gloria's studio apartment for a month, in June and early July. The apartment itself was lovely, very functional with lots of light, a working stove, dishwasher, mini-fridge & freezer, AC unit, and a washing machine. It was definitely enough space for the two of us throughout the month, and I could imagine 3 would be comfortable for a few days. The hot water runs out quickly, but that was the only small hiccup, and we got used to using less water for showers.

The area was fine, accessible to cabs, metro, restaurants, etc. It's in the china-town area of Valencia, so we ended up eating a lot of Chinese. Highly recommend visitors to check out Rusafa- only about a 10 minute walk from the apartment and very trendy neighborhood with tons of bars, restaurants, and a few clubs.

Gloria and her son Ignacio were wonderful hosts. Always available through phone or e-mail, happy to recommend activities and events to check out, and very considerate. We did not meet Gloria, but her son Ignacio or her daughter stopped by every week to change the towels and linens.

All in all, my boyfriend and I will most definitely try to stay here next time we visit Valencia. Highly recommend!!
