Ignacio’s apartment was perfect. The layout and design is very modern and we loved the quirky ladder up to the bed. We also liked the different lighting and the whole place felt very homely. Pictures really do not do it justice. The apartment was very clean, and we were provided with two towels each, as well as an extra pillow, blankets, and all the needed kitchen utensils. The outside terrace is a lot bigger than it looks in the picture and it is really nicely decorated with all the plants. We sat outside to eat quite a lot during our stay. The apartment itself‘s attention to detail is very sweet, with various little objects hiding in the grooves of the stone walls. We thought that was a nice touch.
We arrived on the early flight from stansted, which meant we were at the apartment at 11.30am. It took us 15-20 minutes in a taxi from the airport and it cost just under €20. Ignacio kindly let us drop our bags and freshen up before heading out. He also gave us a tour of the apartment and a map, on which he highlighted some nice local restaurants and the supermarket which is only round the corner. We then returned to the apartment at around 4.30pm and it had all been cleaned and prepared for our stay.
The location is fantastic, and we got our bearings very quickly. There are lots of bars and restaurants nearby and it only took about 15 minutes to walk in to town which was great. The area is very quiet and you feel safe walking there at night. The bikes are great and we used them a lot. There are bike paths pretty much everywhere so the city is easy to negotiate. There is also a lock provided which came in handy.
I could not recommend Ignacio’s place enough. The apartment, location and general feel of the place really is superb! We are already thinking about going back to Valencia, and we would definitely like to stay here again!
Thank you so much Ignacio.
