My family (wife and 2 children, ages 4 and 2 years old) had the joy of staying in Begona and Quique's apartment for 1 month in September 2013. The apartment exceeded our expectations. The apartment was clean, provided a good supply a kitchen equipment, and very roomy. My wife and I are coffee drinkers and enjoyed the fancy coffee machine that grounded the beans and made the coffee with only the push of a button. The balcony of the apartment was a perfect place to sit and enjoy views of the harbor as well as people watch. The apartment was quiet, and we never experienced any problems with noise. It is a very safe neighborhood with easy access to grocery stores and restaurants right out the front door. Begona and Quique were very accommodating hosts as they provided us with a baby cot for our 2 year old, a high chair, beach umbrellas, and a ride to the train station for our departure. They also gave us a lot of good tips as far as transportation around the city, which beach was the best to visit, restaurants to go to, and information for attending a soccer match upon our arrival. We absolutely loved our stay in Valencia at Begona and Quique's apartment. My wife and I are online teachers and we worked throughout our stay and always had reliable internet service. The location was perfect as the amazing Mediterranean Beach and Center of Old Town were both easily accessible. We rented bikes for our stay because Valencia is such a bike friendly city. The apartment is very close to the City of Arts and Sciences as well as the Oceanarium. Biking through the Turia Riverbed was always a highlight to our day as we ventured into the center of Old town. I cannot recommend this apartment enough. You will not be disappointed!
