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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great Location
David's property was in an ideal location for us with its easy access to public transport , supermarkets and the 15 min walk to the old town and the delightful Jardin del Turia. We enjoyed having breakfast on the balcony prior to our active days, and sitting out in evening relaxing without being plagued by either flies or mosquitos! David was there to greet us and show us around the apartment and he was very responsive whenever we needed to contact him. The apartment is very well kitted out with everything we needed for our 5 day holiday. A final word of advice, if arriving from the airport, ignore any directions Google Maps suggests to you! Take the number 3 metro to Benimaclet. Exit the metro station following signs for the number 4 tram to Mas del Rosari, and take the 4 tram 3 stops to Sagunt. We will be back!

Central Location
A comfortable apartment with a very nice balcony where one can sit and enjoy a glass of wine and appetizers. Ample living and dining room space, and a kitchen that has virtually anything one would need. Very little closet space in the bedrooms other than the dressers but I hung my clothes in the living room closets where there was ample space. Only ten minutes of walking and one is in the Old Town area where one can spend lots of time sightseeing and exploring the Torres, the Silk Exchange, the wonderful Mercado and the many churches, town plazas and retail stores. Also, close to the bus lines that take you to all the other areas of the city.

The accommodation was very well equipped. The bed comfortable, the glass walled shower large and easy to operate. The living room quite large, with a good sized dining table and very comfortable seating and tasteful decor. We enjoyed using the balcony in the evenings. We thoroughly recommend this apartment. David explained everything to us and was a pleasure to deal with. The provision of a toaster would be a great asset for future guests.

Perfectly situated apartment a short walk to Turia Garden and Old Town
We stayed at David's flat from mid-January to March. We loved our small pied-a-terre as it was outfitted with everything we needed. David met us when we arrived at the flat and gave us a thorough tour of the amenities. He was very responsive when we had challenges with our internet and had everything up and running in short order. Flat's highlights? Sitting out on the balcony watching the world go by was our nightly ritual (with a glass of wine of course). We loved that the sitting room had space for 4 or 5 people. We had access to our music playlist on the stereo and movies on the TV. While the bedrooms are small, they are not on the street so it was perfectly quiet for sleeping. We appreciated that the kitchen had a few spices and staples to get us started as we ate in a few times a week. The bathroom had plenty of hot water and two shower heads to choose from. Temperatures in January and February can be chilly at night so the heater was really appreciated. It is also an air conditioner and is whisper-quiet. Morning croissants are available every day but Saturday from the bakery downstairs and 3 supermarkets are only a block or two away. We preferred Mercadona due to its large wine, cheese and fresh meat selection. The Turia is 5 min away and was our go-to for the morning walk to justify croissants. The run-up to Las Falles, Valencia's huge welcome-to-spring celebration, was in full swing from beginning of March on with daily fireworks, astounding displays of falles (huge puppets) and street parties. This is definitely a great time to visit Valencia. We also took trips to Marrakesh (Ryanair) and Barcelona, Xativa and Alicante (train). The City of Arts & Sciences is an architectural dream, the beach is stunning and surprisingly not overdeveloped. The Metro, tram and buses are easy to use and biking is fun and safe with the excellent bike infrastructure. We loved Valencia with its fascinating history and highly recommend visiting in late winter (one slight drizzle for 5 minutes in 2 months). It can be cold out at night but days were lovely and warm. David informed us about the Facebook group Valencia Information Exchange. We also discovered Valencia Secreta for all things related to off the beaten path tourism, and Valencia Curry Lovers for anyone interested in cooking workshops. We definitely recommend this apartment as your home away from home.
