The apartment was very cosy and we felt very much at home. The reception with Victoria was very nice and she got us started in Valencia very well. During our arrival Victoria mentioned to us there were renovations in progress in the house where the apartment is situated and asked us to contact her if there were any problems. Actually the apartment is the only space in the house that is finished. Once the workmen started on Monday the peaceful time we had was gone. There was no time during the day to enjoy some rest in the apartment. After complaining about it was not possible to stop the renovations. Also Filippo phoned me to apologise but he could do nothing. The way I look at it: the apartment is ready to be rented out, but the state of the house makes it unsuitable for rental. Not communicating about the situation before our arrival and giving us an option put us in a awkward spot. We decided to leave, and booked a hotel for the remainder of our stay. Ultimately Filippo agreed to refund the nights we did not spend in the apartment, and announced he would inform future tenants. An acceptable and honourable solution to our situation. Valencia is a great city by the way and well worth a visit.
