This flat is in a great location. Really easy to get to all the sights, like the Mercado central, and all the plazas and monuments if that is what you're interested in. There are tons of restaurants and cafes all around as well, and the museum is right around the corner. It is also close to the tram to the beach and the Turia park. El Carmen is a hip neighborhood, full of young people and graffiti. We loved the neighborhood. It was really noisy on weekends, due to the bar on the corner across the street. People were partying into the early hours. The owners kept in touch via email, but we did not meet them. They also sent a list of recommendations for restaurants. Check in was easy via a lockbox. As for the flat itself, it looks better in the pictures. The building is a little shabby. The steps are really narrow, and the stairwell needs work. Although the listing stated it had a washer and a balcony with table and chairs, it did not. (It looks like the other flats in the building have balconies though). The front door looks like someone had tried to break in in the past. Although there were no issues, we did not feel safe leaving our things there. And there were a few roaches. We have stayed in many Airbnb's in many places. This one was not one of our favorites.
