We really enjoyed our week in Raul's apartment. Valencia is a wonderful city to visit and explore, if you are looking for 5 star luxury maybe this apartment is not for you but if wishing to enjoy authentic experience of living in old building in the historic heart of the city with everything right on your doorstep then go for it. Raul is a wonderful host, always helpful and courteous with instant communication. There is no noise issue here, we slept very well, the weather was chilly in the evenings and the heating was very efficient and the netflix was a great bonus. It was our first visit to Valencia and initially not sure where to stay we were delighted to find El Carmen was our favourite area. Highly recommend
