From the moment I walked in the doors of the apartment building, I was swept away by Iriana's kindness and welcome. I felt immediately like I had known her forever-- like she was one of my Tias. The room was clean, and bright and beautiful. The air conditioning unit was a blessing during those hot Valencian nights. The apartment is perfectly located! It was a five minute walk to the Ciudad de las Ciencias and about a 20 minute walk to the city center. There was a supermarket at the end of the street, tons of cafes nearby, and specialty shops as well.
Iriana was so kind! She made me Paella while I stayed with her, and I have got to say that it was delicious. I was so honored by her hospitality! Plus she's funny! I always felt like I had everything I needed and like I had my own space that felt like home in a foreign country. I can't thank Iriana enough for having me stay with her. It was truly a joy and a pleasure.
