Jose and Susanna’s place in Valencia is in a perfect location. It is located directly across the street from the Central Market, and in the heart of the historic part of the city. Plaza del Ayuntamiento, which is a major hub for buses and activity, and Plaza Reina are less than five minutes' walk from the location. Susanna met us to let us into the space and show us around and was incredibly responsive in answering all of our questions. They have a guide and lots of useful information in the apartment to review.
The apartment itself is great. A perfect size for a family of three with excellent views from the balconies. We feared that the location would be noisy, given the level of activity around the apartment's location, but the windows insulate sound incredibly well. The only time it was a problem was the first night of the Falles festival, when the Central Market was the true center of activity, including a tent with dance music running until 3 am.
The apartment was furnished with a refrigerator and stovetop (no oven or microwave) and washing machine. There was a Nespresso coffee machine (a novelty for us).
Yes, there are a lot of steps. They were not difficult, even for a 4 1/2 year old.
