We stayed at Alejandro's lovely apartment in August 2016 for 8 nights along with our three children aged 6, 6 and 3.
We arranged a transfer from the airport which took approx 20 mins and Alejandro's partner and assistant met us and showed us around the apartment. The check in was easy.
The apartment is really spacious with well proportioned rooms with high ceilings and is well laid out. It is very well furnished; a nice mix between traditional Spanish features with modern fittings.
The modern kitchen was nice and had everything we needed to prepare dinner on a couple of evenings as well as breakfasts.
It was very hot in Valencia when we stayed and it was lovely to come back to an air conditioned apartment each day.
The main bedroom suite is lovely and the bathroom is great, especially the shower.
The terrace on the roof is a very pleasant area and a nice place to spend an evening.
In terms of a location the apartment is in the middle of the Cabanyol area, which once we had found our bearings felt like a good base to explore Valencia.
Roughly a 5 minute walk to the Metro station which is then a 5 minute ride into the centre of Valencia, bus stops are also approx 5 minutes away from the apartment. The beach is approx 10 mins walk from the apartment.
Cabanyol is a traditional area and felt quiet especially on Sunday's and Monday's where most of the area is closed. There is a useful shop directly opposite which sells groceries and was open on a Sunday and Monday.
Valencia is a great city and especially for children, we had brilliant days out at the science museum, the Bioparc, the aquarium and the Beach. We really enjoyed a couple of hours at Gullivers park.
The city was easy to get around using either the bus or Metro.
Before and during the stay Alejandro kept in touch and was always helpful.
We would certainly recommend this apartment as a base to explore Valencia.
