Christine B, US, March 2020 Testimonials - Heaven on earth

We rented this apartment for 3 weeks during our sabbatical. Valencia is a wonderful town, and this apartment could not be better located to take advantage of and enjoy all it has to offer. We were in walking/biking distance to everything - fantastic restaurants, sites, museums and parks. Having the El Cortes Ingles supermarket right across the street was super convenient for keeping our fridge stocked with the snacks and libations we like to keep on hand. The kitchen is well-supplied with quality appliances, dishware etc allowing us to buy beautiful dinner fixings at the incredible Mercado Central and cook simple dinners in-house a couple of nights. The three cafes and a lovely park (with an awesome bunuelos stand!) just around the corner proved to be the perfect spot to grab a quick breakfast in the morning, or relax while enjoying an aperitif at the end of a long day's trekking about. We especially enjoyed the kind staff at Cafe Des Mones, and a little further down the block, JIB's restaurant for some gastronomic tapas and terrific pitchers of Agua de Valencia. The apartment itself is as large bright and sunny as the photos indicate. Spotlessly clean when we arrived and perfectly appointed with everything necessary to make for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It was great to have the terrace for morning coffee/tea. We are carry-on only travelers dependent on having access to a washing machine, having the terrace for laundry drying was a big benefit. The large shower with good pressure and plenty of hot water is a special bonus not always present in European apartment rentals. Our host, Pilar was a pleasure to work with every step of the way. Rachel (the cleaner) and Antonio (the doorman) were both so friendly and helpful. We've rented many apartments and houses on our travels, but this is one we will definitely be returning to. Definitly five stars across the board.
