The apartment is completely renovated with modern furnishing which is hard to find in Valencia. The building is safe and secure and has an elevator. Don’t be fooled by the exterior of the building. The apartment inside is beautiful.
El Carmen district is loaded with tons of restaurants. Just step outside the building, make a left and then a right and you are near everything. 3 mins walk to the Central Market. Pick any street from there in any direction and you’ll be surprised every time with a cool vibe and lots of places to eat and drink.
My only recommendations to the host would be to upgrade the TV in the living room to a SmartTV that offers Netflix or Amazon or AppleTV etc. The current TV only has Spanish channels. I would also look into better pillows for the beds. The beds have one really long foam pillow instead of two individual soft pillows.
Other than that a wonderful apartment with great hosts!
