Our stay was definitely of two halves.
First, Andres was fantastic. Great communication - he sent loads of info in advance, and dedicated a decent time recommending the best places to go in Valencia (including some excellent local restaurant tips). The flat was absolutely spotless and the kitchen really well equipped. The only issue with the apartment itself was there was no hot water - which despite the other guests complaining about, wasn’t fixed during our stay. Not great, but I’m content to attribute to unlucky timing.
However, a word of warning on the other guests point...
When we arrived, we found ourselves staying with two older naturists. Who spent their time in the communal spaces in various levels of clothing/complete nudity. When going to brush my teeth on the first night I found the man completely naked in the dark in the living room. Whilst they were arguable harmless (albeit alarming) we were somewhat uncomfortable to find that the lock to our door was broken, and regretful that Andres did not live in the apartment.
Our next uncomfortable encounter was the following day, when our siesta was interrupted by a shouted argument and one of the naturists coming to our room in tears. They had just had a melodramatic encounter with Andres’ ex-wife, Aurora, who had arrived unannounced and apparently told them they ate like pigs (jury’s out on how clothed they were at the time). Our own interaction with Aurora was brief, but not particularly friendly (she didn’t introduce herself, although did seem to try to sort the hot water problem out, to no avail).
All in all, if you don’t mind the lucky dip of (potentially naked) guests, then this place is great value and Andres is a truly lovely host. But if you’d like to choose who you spend your holiday with (and don’t want to risk running into a naked man on your way to the bathroom) perhaps best to look elsewhere, or book the apartment to yourself.
