If you love Santiago Calatrava’s architecture and you wish to spend time in Valencia, Marcos’s apt is just the place. Located only about 5 blocks from the Calatrava’s City of Arts and Science complex with performing arts venue, the IMAX theatre, science museum, aquarium, and an arboretum, it is very well located. In addition, there were 2 bus lines within a block of the apt to take us downtown, one bus line that travels the entire 10 km Turia Gardens Park that surrounds the city, and another two bus lines that took us to the university area and to Malvarossa Beach.There is a bakery across the street, two supermarkets 1 block and three blocks away, two far acids, several fresh fruit and vegetable stores, and a whole host of other restaurants and retail stores. There are also bike rentals everywhere.
The apartment is nicely appointed with 2 bedrooms and a decent sized kitchen and living room. Because I was there for 9 weeks, the only criticism I can make is that the cooking utensils were not the greatest—I would have liked a broiler pan, and better quality sauce/frying pans. But even with that said, I would highly recommend Marcos’s apt. It was clean, quiet and comfortable. The apt is one floor up from the ground floor but there is an elevator in the building. There is also ample storage for suitcases in the apt.
It is easy to feel at home in Marco’s apt.
