Thanks for your feedback. The three main lights in the hallway are on a three way switch - two in the hallway and one in the living room. If the living room switch to off the two hallway switch’s fail to turn them on when required. It’s a shame that you mentioned at the end of your stay. Possibly they were working correctly at the beginning of your stay if you were unaware - it’s one on the quirks of the three switches. I shall double check when I go to the apartment later today.. I hope despite it didn’t mar your stay and you all had a wonderful time.

Excellent location

Well equipped and comfortable. Excellent location. All positive apart from noise from neighbours banging doors and shouting on two of the nights until 2 in the morning.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 March 2020
Dear Guests. I'm very pleased you had a great time and enjoyed my apartment's great location. Sorry to hear about the neighbours heated 'domestics'. It's normally a case of 'live & let-live' in any residential block. Although understandably a bit irrating over two consecutive nights. Normally a brusque knock on the offending neighbour's door does the trick! I'm surprised another neighbour hadn't intervened. I'm always happy to have a word with the relevant neighbour, particularly if it's an ongoing scenario; normally not the case, as most residents are generally very considerate. Best David.

The location of this apartment fit our needs perfectly. The proximity to the Historical Center along with bus and tram stops nearby helped us see lots of different area in Valencia. Although this is a very urban area we felt safe and comfortable walking around. While clean in the sense of clean linens and dishes, this apartment needs a deep clean and some sprucing up. There is mold in the bathroom shower and on the ceiling above the shower. The carpet under the dining table seemed a bit grungy. The bedrooms are bare-bone basic. The spring mattress could benefit from a pad to add some comfort.

A Very Comfy Flat Close to the Historic City

We had a wonderful stay at the flat. The location was perfect, a short stroll to the old city, with all it has to offer. The flat itself was very well furnished, comfortable beds, linens, and kitchen supplies. David was so attentive to our needs and making sure we were comfortable - a very fine host. I would certainly recommend this flat to anyone staying in Valencia. A surprise was a wonderful parkway - miles of great walking, biking, picnics just steps from the apartment.

Perfect Locaton

I spent 3 months at this location. It is very well located with he metro to the beach almost across the road and a short distance to Old City entrance. The building is safe, clean and well maintained. The apartment is as advertised. Neighborhood is friendly and for the most part Spanish speaking only. There are plenty of places to eat or drink and much less costly than the old city.

Ideal apartment

This apartment is in an ideal location – just outside the bustle of the old town, close to transportation and grocery stores, and an easy walk through the Serrano Gate into the town or along the Turia Park. Comfortable, well-equipped, in a quiet building, David’s apartment is just what we were looking for. He is an excellent host, friendly, quick to respond, and knowledgeable about the city. We were here for three weeks – this is highly recommended for a long stay. It came to feel like home - we will definitely be back here on our next trip to Valencia.

Apartment in Valencia - walking distance to old town.

David was very good and quick at responding to our inquiries. The location of the apartment to the old town is very walkable. The only draw back is that the bedrooms are small. The balcony and the amount of sun coming in to the living room is a big plus. The beautiful eucalyptus tree in front of the balcony gives a good amount of shade and is beautiful to look at.

Mostly a great stay

The apartment is just a short walk to the main gate into the old city and very close to the beautiful Turia gardens so we were very pleased with location. Nice balcony and spacious comfortable living room. It was relatively quiet although the walls were a little thin (I could hear someone snoring in the next apartment :-D) but the bed was very comfortable.Our only complaint is that the property manager never responded to our request to fix the bathroom sink that was clogged and not usable from the day we moved in. Also, the dishes and placemats need to be replaced (time worn and stained.)We were generally pleased with our stay with these few exceptions.

Apartment in great location

The apartment was in a great location for us. Easy and frequent transport links to where we wanted to get to. The Old Town/Torres de Serrano and Turia Park were for us a pleasant short walk away. Plenty of places to eat nearby. Supermarkets really close too. The apartment was decent with all that was needed for our stay of two weeks. The shower was a bit tricky to work out as it got hot and cold intermittently but eventually we got used to it. We found that the wi-fi signal was strong in the living room but kept dropping off when we were in the bedrooms. Overall we had a very pleasant stay here.

Good size and very comfortable

We enjoyed our stay at this property in Valencia. It was very comfortable and the distribution was excellent, with the bedrooms at one end of the hall and the living room at the other side so didn't suffer from my daughter and her friend watching tv late at night. The only thing I recommend is replacing the bath towels as those are really worn out. But aside from that small detail, everything else worked perfectly. David was really helpful in providing so much information about the city and the surrounding area.

A Great Place to Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the apartment is in a good location with supermarkets close by and a pleasant walk into the old town over the Serranos bridge and through the old gate under the towers. The walk to and from the city can be varied using the Turia gardens and the various access points, we walked from the City of Arts and Science to the Neuvo Centre and Botanic gardens (not all in one journey). Thankfully the apartment was a quiet haven to rest and recover in after a full day pounding the pavements, galleries and museums and we were very comfortable. We slept really well on the very comfortable bed with crisp white bedding and appreciated the fluffy white towels in the bathroom. The kitchen was a well equipped space and we enjoyed cooking some meals with ingredients bought locally. The description is very accurate but does not convey the really comfortable and homely atmosphere of the apartment or the generous/friendly/helpful host’s. A great place to stay and one that we can truly recommend.

Nice apartment great location

We stayed for a short break . The apartment was exactly what we wanted. Great location walking distance to the old town and access to transport/ shops / restaurants etc. I read other reviews and the mention of noise from neighbours which there was some but to be honest it didn’t bother us too much . You are in a residential block and people have to go to work but we are early risers so we were out from early . We did hear the musical practice I think maybe an oboe or clarinet but it was one hour and we sat on the balcony and watched the world go by . The main things for me are a comfortable bed with nice bed linen . Plenty of nice clean towels and hot water . The kitchen equipment could do with updating ie toaster and kettle .overall a good stay in a great location.

Great Location but Extremely Noisy Building

This is a nice apartment with easy access to much of Valencia on foot. Only 10-15 minutes walk from Valencia old town with great restaurants, shops etc. Good local supermarkets , bakeries, small bars etc a couple of minutes walk from the apartment. However, the apartment is in a residential block and the noise from the upstairs neighbours is unacceptable. They seem to drag their furniture across the hard flooring continuously and at the weekends undertake DIY with the prolonged use of power tools. On the Saturday early evening when we returned to the apartment to shower and change they were having saxophone practice with the woman of the house singing to introduce the rhythm for the budding musician. There are at least 2 dogs living in the building, one on the same floor as the apartment which barks only occasionally but there is another one on the ground floor which howls, hounds of the Baskerville style, for prolonged periods of time. the dogs are healthy and well cared for and the owners are extremely nice. On weekday mornings the sounds of people preparing for work and school begin around 7am with shutters and doors being banged , locks being double locked etc. This continues until around 9.30 and then the furniture dragging upstairs begins for the day. I don’t see a resolution to this as it is a residential building. We were only in Valencia for 5 days and were out for a lot of the time but I feel that for people who are there for a longer time that it would very quickly become a real issue. re the continuing saga of the lack of a toaster, the owners thinks that he has a combined microwave and grill but it is only a microwave , no grilling ability and the oven is a very old fashioned conventional oven which takes forever to heat. I understand that the owner is concerned that the apartment only has 5kw of electricity. I have a house in Spain with 4.6kw of electricity and a note to guests saying , please don’t use the toaster, kettle and aircon at the same time will prevent power trip outs. the arrival procedure is poor and seems to depend on the guests having smart phones with 4G capability. Despite having told the owner that we would arrive at 7pm, we were left in the street for 35 mins. When he arrived he was beyond rude.The other problem with the check in is that the owner did not complete the forms required by the police regarding our presence in his apartment but we resolved this ourselves by taking our passports etc into the police.

Dear guests. Unfortunately Its seems that you had suffered some communication problem or lack of, on your arrival. I had no confirmation of your whereabouts until I made a failed telephone call to your mobile, massaging via HomeAway app & finally you responded to my WhatsApp message. You said you had sent a message - None received. - on my arrival with keys etc. It's true I was somewhat trifled on this matter. Toaster available now....Building is fully residential thus some 'give & take' to be expected as working people start early. I always carry earplugs for anywhere I'm unsure about re; noise. I have advised HomeAway about some of the facts or lack of... regarding the veracity of this review. There seem to be some contentious issues in your feedback. Despite all, I trust you thoroughly enjoyed this delightful city.

Valencia top, Wohnung Flop

Die Kommunikation mit David und seinem Kollegen war unkompliziert und freundlich. Auch die Lage der Wohnung - der kurze Weg in die Altstadt und die vielen Bistros und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten "vor der Haustür" - waren super. Leider haben wir ansonsten nichts Positives zu der FeWo mitzuteilen. Tatsächlich ist das Interieur arg in die Jahre gekommen und auch die Sauberkeit lässt an einigen Stellen sehr zu wünschen übrig. Die Wohnung müsste nicht nur eine intensive Grundreinigung - vor allem in Küche und Bad - erfahren, sondern auch Geräte wie Wasserkocher, Toaster, Backofenrost, Dunstabzugshaube usw., aber auch Bettwäsche und Handtücher einfach mal erneuert werden. Außerdem war uns persönlich die direkte Nachbarschaft im Haus zu laut, da das Haus sehr hellhörig ist, aber das ist Geschmackssache und stört vielleicht nicht jeden. Die wirklich tolle Stadt und die Ausflüge in die Umgebung haben uns letztendlich aber entschädigt, sodass es trotzdem ein sehr schöner Urlaub war.

Why they chose this property

My property offers a pleasant airy south facing aspect thus naturally bright (all day long) & surprisingly spacious living/dining room leading on to a charming 'eye of the sun' balcony offering an unusual (for the city centre!) delightful open tree-lined perspective.
The modern building being constructed and maintained - full exterior of building facade & internal light-wells cleaned & repainted/repointed - to a very decent standard for S.Spain. Offers unusually for building of this size, dual lifts - most comparable buildings offer just the one! - extra efficiency & reliability - & ramps from street level.

Excellent communications. Just 5/8min direct walk to the C.14 Serranos towers to Carmen (entrance to Historic city) the city's trendiest most International & its most cosmo' quarter. Metro 'Sagunto' 90m offering fast direct, regular beach service - quicker than by car/bus (enroute 50 sets of traffic lights!). 3 A.1 value supermarkets are within 1-4 min direct walk.

'Mains' gas provides unlimited hot water for decent multiple showers unlike 'all-electric' standard apartments - due to Spanish power restrictions - with statutory standard 1.4Kw max immersion's. That'll be one full 8 min shower. Next person will wait & wait.....

What makes this property unique

* 300Mb Fibre Optic for streaming music or films in full H.D without the city's now infamously unreliable ADSL & its constant 'drop-outs' @ peak times i.e; 20.00-23.00 & weekends!
* Delightful south facing balcony, enjoy year round sunshine.
* Dual Inverter energy efficient air/conditioning - & not the usual solo unit - for your comforts offering winter warmth & summer freshness.
* Spacious 24m2 full of daylight comfortable living room.
* Ease of access to all the city's best attractions.
* Brilliant funky kids play areas & adults exercise machines in the delightful recently completed Jarden de Morverdre - just opposite.
* Nearby @ 2min 'El Bocaito' terraced bar/cafe & Asturian restaurant.
* On-street mostly unrestricted car-parking - rarely available & quite impossible in the majority of Spanish towns. Save yourself all the associated hassles & inevitable expenses - average 18€ daily rate - with this somewhat overlooked, but excellent cost-effective advantage. Some patience or timing as per my 'Tip' for easier parking times
