This charming luminous & spacious efficiently air-conditioned second floor studio apartment is located within a charming Valenciano recently listed historic building.

4 minutes walk to the city's *'most happening' cosmo' El Carmen - *especially during nocturnal hours. Approached via resplendent Torres de Serranos. Albeit studio's location is somewhat quieter. Its seawards orientation enjoys welcoming coastal breezes offering a welcome respite. Especially after exploring the Historic city with its narrow confined & during the warm summer months, invariably quite airless streets.

Fully equipped partially updated American style kitchen. Separate fully enclosed bathroom with modern fitments. Delightful living area with four large fully opening windows (2 floor - ceiling) French style with full shutters.. Two with small balconies, which all have extremely pleasant outlooks, three enjoy outlooks over a charming leafy Convent's garden - allowing sunshine morning to late afternoon. Also access to semi-communal rooftop 16m2 terrace with charming inner city aspects. Sony micro HiFi stereo system for plug-in music streamers - best H.D sound with iPad - & no buffering! Flat screen TV, DVD player etc.

Mega powerful 4.5 Kw reverse cycle air-conditioner replaced 2024 - N.B; many similar apartments invariably offer undersized 2.5 Kw unit's - i.e; they'll take twice as long & necessitate 'maximum' setting to have any desired cooling effect! In particular those with higher ceilings.

All major motorway connections ie; Madrid, Barcelona, Alicante etc easily accessed within 10 mins via A7 & CV 35 - Easy with GPS.

See metrovalencia web-page for route planners/timetables and excellent 'bono' rates.

Outdoor Pool/ Biopark etc. Great outdoor pool set in rather exclusive lush sub-tropical gardens at Club Hipica just 5/6 mins walk in Calla Jaca. Used by Valencianos in 'the know'. Entrance fee 4.50€. Young children €2. Go for the day with a picnic. Excellent silver service standard albeit understated terraced restaurant overlooks it. Tip; Menu del dia - good value.

Valencia's finest gardens and museums which you can access readily in just 4 mins via the 'rio de cultura' City's 9km impressive Turia river gardens.

Europe's largest Bio-park for over 1000 different species in a natural setting. Easily accessed by metro within 20 mins or walk/cycle through the delightful Turia river gardens either 10 mins bike or 40 mins walk.

Beaches: Malvorossa city beach & quirky charming barrio of Cabanyal. Blue Flag bathing and a broad fine sandy beach with an excellent choice of nearby restaurants/bars. Smart terraced cafes/restaurants and cocktail/tapas bars abound the Marinas. Mediterranean city living doesn't get much better with its easy accessibility. Its excellent value and with a myriad of subtle attractions etc

El Saler glorious fine sandy beach continuing onwards as far as the eye can see with duned backdrops, scented Pines and great cycle tracks weaving throughout. Fantastic for skaters/skate borders. 'Bus-it' easily from Plaza Reina for a couple of euros @ just 10 mins walk away.

Great spot for Las Fallas

We rented this place so that we could attend Las Fallas. It could not have been a better location. Just a five minute walk to the old town and the main festivities, it also had its own fallas, right outside the apartment. Also near the apartment are plenty of mercados so getting supplies is simple. One thing to note however, is some mercados close early (by north american standards) especially on Sundays. However, the Carrefours are always open and there is one about 10 minutes walk away. The apartment itself is a tiny bachelor flat but it is roomy enough for two and as it is on a corner there is plenty of light flowing in from the windows (there are inside doors to block the light out at night). The kitchen has everything you could need with three different styles of coffee making options - drip, french press or espresso. There is a full sized fridge and a 4 burner stove top and a good array of pots and utensils. The bathroom is not big but has a shower that works just fine. One suggestion to the owner would be a couple of hooks or towel racks to put wet towels on. Not really a problem as there is a drying rack in the closet which we used, just a suggestion. David, the owner, is quite attentive and readily available when necessary. Our only regret was that we did not have longer in Valencia. Much as Las Fallas was fun it would be great to see Valencia in a different light. If we return we would not hesitate to rent this spot again.

Dear Guests. Thanks for feed back. Average 3/4 star hotel room both in USA & E.U- 32-34m2 & Junior suites 40m2. So 50m2 . So not quite sure constitutes 'tiny' in Euro parlance. Towel hooks I'll check as I removed some extended towel rails to free up space. Now updated. Mattress is standard 135cm wide double - Latest generation of Pikolin (Spanish premium brand) Visco-Elastic - Nov' 2017 - Bed frame now replaced March 25 2019 as slight buckle noticed in frame. Nearest Carrefour HyperMarket is in fact a 34 min walk away. Nearby 'Blue-Flag' Lidl supermarket is a mere 2 min walk & I suspect is probably one of the city's best value & with plenty of excellent fresh produce etc.

Ideal location, well equipped and maintained, comfortable

The apartment is situated 5 minutes down the road from the main city gate so it's very easy to find your way back to. The bed is comfortable, there's a USB port in the TV so you can plug an external hard drive in and watch stored media and the stereo has audio in. The kitchen has everything you need, and there's a lidl 5 minutes up the road for stocking up. Wine was about €2 a bottle. My 6'2'' tall boyfriend found the shower cubicle a bit small but the water pressure is good. Nearby to the apartment are a creperie, a bakery, a couple of cafes to get breakfast from, a shop that sells amazing cakes and fruit tarts, it's not a cake shop, I can't remember what else they sold because I was mesmerised by the cakes.....not all the local shopkeepers could speak English... There's a local tapas restaurant called El Bocaito that does fantastic food. We had a salad with what the waiter described as little river snakes. No idea what they were but they tasted great, as did the rest of the food. If you head away from town, take the first main right turn onto the palm tree lined road and it's about 100 yards down on the opposite side of the road. The aquarium Oceanographic is worth a visit although there's not much change from €30 for an adult. We walked there from the apartment through the park that has been created in the old path of the river. The river was diverted some years ago as it kept flooding the city. The tram stop for the beach is 5 minutes walk north, a return ticket was €5. The ticket machine is quite confusing and you can only pay by card. The beach was nice, lots of it with sunbeds to hire and kiosks selling drinks. There are bars and restaurants towards the dock. Valencia old town is beautiful, the majority of the shops and restaurants are, or seem to be independently owned, no homogenous we could be anywhere shops. There's a big shopping area with chain stores down past the train station. I'd definitely recommend Valencia and this apartment

Dear Guest. Many thanks for your summary of all that's best both nearby & direct short metro rides away. Actually the bono rate zone A is cracking value for 10 rides (to beach) for just over 8 euros. The languages prompt facility (English, Spanish, Valenciano etc) normally assists in making sure you get the best deal, see metrovalencia page for route planner & fares, although I have to agree sometimes they suddenly bombard you with too much info' which can be a bit confusing. There are lots of chill-out bars chirinquitos both on Malverossa beach & onto Patacona beach which serve up delicious drinks etc with Ibizan sounds. Nearby for watersports enthusiasts surfing/paddle boarding & kite surfing hire & tuition are also now available at modest rates. I'm really pleased to hear you both had a great holiday. Best David.
