Bright, light and comfortable modern apartment within the City's No.1 residential & populous, pleasantly civilised residential - 'Café Society' - quintessentially Valenciano enclave of Botanico.

Versus UK electric kettle element 2Kw! If you want reasonable comforts.

Spacious, bright & fully air-conditioned living/diner overlooking peaceful & private communal quadrangle. Chill out in comfort upon the luxurious chaise-longue - fully adjustable back supports - whilst enjoying the entertainment systems - selection films/Netflix on wide-screen 40" flat screen T.V. Connect up to super-fast Fibre Optic internet to stream your favourite channels (bring your laptop/tablet & connector leads). Netflix H.D is included. Sony micro HiFi stereo system to stream H.D quality music - best through iPad & no buffering!

Readily immerse yourself in the quintessential essence of civilized Valenciano life. Savvy Madrilenos head here first... charming tree terraced bars/cafes and a myriad of the city's greatest value restaurants encircling Valencia's most iconic Deco building - 'Mercado Abastos' - Olympic pool, plus three other pools, Turkish sauna, Spa & fully equipped gymnasium - Centro Supera - Abastos - with its 12000m2 modern installations - 190m.

Renowned restaurants from 20m-500m include El Rausell, Villiplana, L'Antina, Titos, La Bodeguita, Orson's etc etc - indulge yourself at more than sensible prices - far superior value & service compared to the nearby 'touristy' Historic quarters. Locals of all ages hang-out here, socialising & enjoying life to the full without tiresome, unsolicited frequent buskers attentions invariably to be found elsewhere i.e: within Carmen, Ruzafa & @Malverossa beach. Get savvy. Go native! & save too; on eating & drinking out!

Metrovalencia ; First & last metro 05.19 - 23.31 - Unbeatable direct fast service to Airport every 10min throughout day @5€ per person.

By car; direct through to A.3 Madrid motorway - en-route airport 6-7 mins -Parking free On-St. But very busy though! 18/07-30/08 (holiday time) Always easy nearby parking.

N.B metro finishes 23.30 - So you'll appreciate all the excellent nearby facilities and the close proximity of the Historic city without forking out endlessly for cabs or long hot tiring walks to some far-flung, frowzy or soulless barrio.

Fine sandy Blue flag beaches quickly accessed via metro L.5 & 8 travelling 19min, taking you to Malverossa a long wide golden beach & the enchantingly quirky bohemian barrio of Cabanyal former fishermen's quarter. Good variety of restaurants, bars & late night clubs during the summer right along the Esplanade. Valencia parties right through the summer months at Malverossa beach.

Want seclusion and a more beautiful natural duned back-dropped beach? Then you can't beat El Saler for combining the best of city living with miles of glorious unspoilt fine sandy beaches as far as the eye can see. Great also for cycling with trails weaving along the coast. Tip; Worth hiring a bike for the day. Take a bus from the main bus station/Plaza Reina approx' 40 min travelling time -

Perfect place to stay in Valencia

This apartment was so comfortable. It had everything we needed for the month of our stay. I really liked the location as it was away from the noise of tourists but easily walkable to places to visit or to take metro and bus to further places. So many places to grab a meal within a couple blocks, including a bakery, supermarket, public swimming pool, and for a great massage.

Perfect for our trip

The location and apartment were overall amazing! David was wonderful and so smooth with the whole process. Location was great in proximity to the places we wanted to see, access to main roads and metro stops, while still remaining quiet at night. The apartment itself was so spacious and stocked and had absolutely everything we needed. The perfect home away from home.

Great apartment

We had a great stay as owner is accessible and always ready to help. Apartment is if a good size and well equipped. As facing north, is a bit cold, but has gas heaters which helps although Valencia was pretty warm when we were there. The city is well worth the visit and apartment is well located so close to amenities public transport or if uou prefer walking, walkable to historical part.

Great apartment

The apt is well located, making days out easy even for oldies like us.there was a useful pile of touristy info to get us started and we updated some and left other stuff. It was good to have the aircon as the second three days were very hot at night. We were able cool the place down quickly then adjust overall temp. Hope we didnt overdo that David. Apt well appointed with all the stuff we needed Thanks for having us.

C’était ma toute première fois avec Valencia et ça a été un très bon séjour. L’appartement est super bien placée pas très loin de la ville c’est qui nous permet d’y aller à pied et en même temps éviter les bruits que le centre ville peut avoir. Mes amies et moi avons beaucoup aimée l’accueil qui était très chaleureux. David le propriétaire a été très réactif quand nous avons eu un soucis l’appartement. Le seul bémol est que une chambre n’est pas climatisée mais en laissant la porte ouverte cela est supportable.

About the host

Hosted by David Shardlow

Bristol born. Living here some years & thoroughy enjoying it.
So closeby to hand or at end of the phone - if needed.

Why they chose this property

Civilised location - non-intimidating, thus safe for young & older people in particular for women - as this is the city's most populous residential barrio; think all age ranges!.
Classic 60's building with purpose built lift etc & smart marbled foyer.
Quiet apartment as set back on an internal wing with peaceful outlooks.
Apartment remodelled within last ten years ie; big windows plenty of natural light. Deceptively large 23m2 bright & very quiet living/dining room. Compact and practical bathroom & compact but fully equipped kitchen etc.
Full 'mains' gas central heating & unlimited hot water for multiple showers for everyone. N.B all electric apartments offer restricted standard 1.4kw electric immersions - due to Spanish electricity limitations - That'll offer you one or two short showers, then wait & wait .......
Efficient air-conditioning throughout as two units installed & not just the usual single unit!

What makes this property unique

Enjoy being in the thick of civilised quintessential Valenciano life - The city's most populous residential inner city enclave - Profusion of bars & eateries all within 50-200m walk including the city's much favoured affable late night Calle Juan Llorens.
City's main Metro hub of Angel Guimera within 3 mins. City's main bus routes within 1-3 mins from Calle Angel Guimera & The 'Gran Via' (San Fernando Catolica & direct metro airport & beach access - 17mins.
If your a seriously savvy shopper & love Spanish designers/brands etc take advantage of hopping on bus 160/161 @ 2 mins every 15mins. The city's quickest (25 mins) most direct service to Spain's largest out of town shopping centre & save upwards of 80% on most known Spanish brands etc

Expecting exceptional fast lightening-speed connections? My apartment now offers Fibre Optic - one of the few barrio's within the centre currently offering a premium & 100% reliable service & at no extra charge! Don't confuse with totally overloaded City ADSL.
