The place of Emilio & Claudia ist great. I spent 2 weeks there with my sons (14 and 16 years old) and we had a great time. The apartment is very well equiped with a nice little kitchen, a big fridge, a micro wave and a washing machine. Everything works perfectly well and as there is a great (and cheap) super market around the corner, it was also a pleasure eating at home while watching the soccer world cup in TV (with many German and Austriam programs) or having breakfast on the terrace. There are also restaurants around and the area is very authentic. The main attractions of Valencia (old town, zoo, museums) can be reached very easily by public transport (many buses, tramway, metro). You can very easily get from and to the airport by metro.
The wonderful sand beach is only 10 minutes away from the apartment and there are many different ways to get there, also through areas where locals live, so that we could also get to know the place from another point of view than the purely touristic. You can use the beach free of charge, the deck chairs cost 5€/day, a beer 2,50 € ;).
There is also an area with hotels, restaurants, a huge club and many touristic events. But if you don't like or need it, you can easily ignore it without even taking notice of it. Perfect for a chilling beach vacation without stress.
Emilio is an amazing host. He runs a cafe around the corner and was there within 5 minutes whenever we needed his help. His care is amazing and over average and this gave us a good feeling. Thank you so much, Emilio. And thank you also to Claudia who made this possible by taking care of their two wonderful babies. A great team and good vibes.
Absolute recomendation!
