I stayed for two weeks in this fabulous apartment slap bang in the centre of Valencia. Forget taxis or bike hire - you won't need them for getting to 90% of the things there are to see and do. You also might not even eat out much because, well, what's the point, when you are always so close to home but, if you do, all the restaurants are on your doorstep.
The accommodation comprises of one single room, which has a kitchen area; a TV/relaxing area; a double bed and a cubicle for the toilet and shower. It's tastefully done and clean with all the facilities you would expect.
Yes, you have access to two balconies - one very small, private balcony which leads off from the accommodation and another which you get to by going out of the apartment and through communal door onto the roof of the building. Both nice but the second, shared one always seemed like too much effort.
Because it is at the top of the building and a little of any main street, it's also quiet. But that peace and the balconies come at a cost: Isabel's flat is up 80 stairs from the front door and there is no lift. So if, for any reason, stairs are a problem for you, this is probably not the place. If you come and go three times a day, say, that's 240 stairs. The famous cathedral clock tower only has 207!
That said, communication was great and Isabel's flat manager even organised a taxi to pick me up from the airport and take me almost to the front door. Only €23 and great when you are new in town and don't want to mess around finding your way.
So, all in all, I highly recommend this flat in Valencia. Clean, couldn't be in a better location and all round very easy. Except, ahem, for the stairs.
