My stay in Stef’s space was WONDERFUL! I cannot praise her or her home enough. I rented the room as a place to stay at the beginning of my move to Valencia and found it a clean, calming space to help me get settled. Plus, the 10 minute walk to a gorgeous beach can’t be beat. Stef was so welcoming. We didn’t see a ton of each other but she was conversational, kind, and full of suggestions for my housing search and things to do in Valencia. The kitchen was well-stocked and Stef was kind enough to leave me ample space for groceries on top of allowing me to cook almost all of my meals there. El Cabanyal was a great neighborhood to learn about Valencian culture, and there were tons of nearby restaurants and shops open at all hours. That said, be aware it’s not the quietest neighborhood, as the Spanish like to stay up late and the area is full of community gathering spaces! I absolutely recommend staying in Stef’s home, I will be back if I ever need a temporary space in Valencia again!
