Lovely apartment in a thriving university neighbourhood location about half way between the town and the beach. The apartment has three bedrooms, a bathroom (shower is good size), big lounge diner with outside balcony, and kitchen, perfect for our family of 4. There is air conditioning in lounge - a welcome relief as we visited in August. The hosts were kind enough to drop round hats when the weather forecast was hot! On the fourth floor so lovely to watch the street below- there is a lift/ elevator.
Easy transport links between the apartment, the town, the beach, and the airport, with the bus to town (40) stopping directly across the road from the apartment. The tram to the beach is quick and easy, approx half a mile walk North to the tram stop. The metro to the airport is No 5, approx 15 minute walk South from the apartment.
There are a number of bars, restaurants, and supermarkets locally though some close for August. Be sure to cross the street and explore the streets opposite the front door of the flat- there is a great breakfast/ coffee place humorously called B astard and a great curry house too. Best we’ve had outside of our home town of Leicester. The supermarket Mercadona is down the street opposite the apartment and is much bigger than it appears.
We had a wonderful time in Valencia- the kids loved the wide, sandy beaches, we loved the old town and the apartment was a perfect base. We had to alter our plans before we came due to an essential appointment and the hosts, Guillermo and Margarita, were very understanding and we really appreciate this. They met us at the apartment on arrival and their communication throughout was excellent. Thank you so much Guillermo and Margarita, we had a great time.
