Carlos and Orinda’s gorgeous penthouse apartment is everything a visitor could ask for. Situated just a few yards from the historic and imposing Torres dels Serrans, their home features long distance views, the enchanting Plaça dels Furs directly below, and the delightful sounds of people talking, street musicians playing, church bells pealing, and birds singing.
The apartment is absolutely stunning, with tasteful, comfortable, high quality furniture, a fully stocked kitchen which I appreciated very much, an extremely comfortable bed, spacious closets, a private rooftop patio, and generous living spaces. It really is a very large apartment, and we spent our entire ten-day vacation there, perfectly content and wanting for nothing.
In addition, every inch of the apartment was immaculate. Carlos and Orinda go out of their way to ensure that their guests stay in a spotlessly clean home. This is another measure of care that we noticed at once, and it made us feel valued and appreciated as their guests.
On a personal note of praise, we had a problem with the keys when we first arrived. With help from our friends at the café across the plaça, we were able to reach our hosts by phone, who were already headed out of town for vacation. When we explained the problem, they turned around, drove back to Valencia, and personally helped us resolve the issue. This level of exceptional dedication and care was above and beyond anything I would have expected. Carlos and Orinda are truly wonderful people who want the very best for their guests, and who go out of their way to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
In summary, we give our highest recommendation to our hosts, to the apartment, and to the neighborhood. I hope you will have as magical and memorable an experience as we did. Hopefully someday, we will return to the beautiful city of Valencia, and stay in this apartment again.
