My name is Simon. Myself, my wife and my two kids stayed in Carlos and Maria's apartment for seven days while getting set up here in Valencia. I have lived in the UK, Ireland, Israel, Canada, the USA and Taiwan, and spent time in Japan. Valencia is a beautiful city and the apartment is beautiful too. It was just as it appears in the pictures, it's even prettier in real life. It contained everything we needed from ironing board and iron right down to shower gel and band aids (that's plasters for you Brits). There were even beverages in the fridge. The beds were comfortable enough for a week, our boys were very snug. Our stay was in January and the heating functioned very well. The location is top notch. The building was secure and everything worked. There were no bugs, it was clean as a whistle. Carlos and Maria could not have been more helpful, I was only sorry that we didn't have more time to get to know them and their friendly kids. They checked in by email, were not intrusive and came to our aid without delay, though there were no serious issues in any case. On arrival, Carlos helped us with our bags. He called a taxi for us on the last day. I can't speak more highly of them. They were approachable and polite. You will find other apartments as adorable and well situated in Valencia, but not many.
