What can I say that describes our experience of Fran and Almudena’s place?
Firstly let me start by saying that my friend Kelly and I arrived well ahead of our estimated time so to kill time we decided to have a beer at a local café/bar until it reached the time that we said we’d be there!
We’d only been there a short time when I received a message from Fran saying to let him know when we were near and he’d meet us as he only lived next door!
I messaged back to say where we were and less than 10 minutes later Fran arrived at the bar and took us to the apartment. His natural friendliness was immediately apparent and we chatted all the way!
The moment we walked through the door I felt completely at home and the longer we were there the more at home I felt.
I know I can speak on Kelly’s behalf and say that she felt exactly the same!
Every time we went anywhere we talked about going “Home” - such was the feeling the apartment gave us!
Everything we could possibly want was there for us and the “Welcome Pack” was a lovely touch!
I loved the apartment so much that I can honestly say (that with a few very minor personal changes) I could happily live the rest of my life there!
We Loved the character of the Russafa district and its wonderful market and it became obvious to us that the area is definitely “on the up” thanks to the vision of people like our hosts!
A short walk (15 minutes) will take you to the main railway station and once there both trains and taxis are plentiful!
As MotoGP fans we were there to witness the last ever race of Valentino Rossi at Circuit Ricardo Tormo, but when we next return to Valencia this is definitely where we will stay!
If I could score the apartment more than 5 stars I would - - and I would score our host likewise!
They never troubled us and (I hope) we never troubled them, other than asking them to book a taxi for us to the airport!
To put this in simple terms - they were the Perfect Hosts and I cannot praise them enough!
