My wife and I have stayed in a lot of different AirBnB accommodations all over the world. So, when we arrive at a new property, we really don't know what to expect. If you have the kind of experience that we do, you know exactly what we are talking about.
Well, this property definitely was one of the best (and most unique) experiences we have had. Let me start by saying that this is a great place to stay in Valencia. There's no doubt about that, and Olga is a terrific AirBnB hostess!
As for the property, it is really close to the beach, just as the description states. If you are going to Valencia during the summer, this really is in an incredible location. If you're interested in checking out things in the center (City of Arts and Sciences, the Fallas Museum, etc.) it will probably be a ride on the bus. However, that never presented any issues for us at all.
The room is very nice. It's comfortable and well equipped. To tell the truth, the only issue we had at all was regarding parking. The listing does not do a good job explaining what the parking situation is, and neither did any of the other reviews. So, I would like to really detail the situation for others so that they know what they are getting into.
The listing for this property states that there is free parking. The parking that is offered is in a couple of lots that are on a street parallel to the one that the AirBnB is on. They are, in fact, free. However, they are in pretty rough shape, and most importantly, there is not a reserved spot. We were always able to find a place to park our car while we were there, but it wasn't always assured. There was one day where we thought we might have to put it in a garage and take an Uber back to the property. For people who rent a car as part of their trip, this is something that you really need to be aware of. Generally speaking there is parking available, but it is definitely not guaranteed.
On the other side of the coin, we had a small issue (honestly not even worth describing) while we were staying in the apartment, and Olga was terrific. She responded quickly and helped us sort it out in no time. She really was great!
Overall, this is a great place to stay in Valencia. If you're looking for a comfortable, well-equipped apartment in a funky and fun part of the city, look no further!
