From our first email exchange, Vicente was an incredibly attentive host and obviously cared very much about making our stay comfortable, easy and full of fun. He provided us with directions, lots of info and many helpful suggestions. The apartment was even better than described, and was ideal for us. It was in a perfect location for exploring the city - it is just a few minutes walk from a bus route, but we walked everywhere, even to the zoo, the football stadium, and the City of Arts & Sciences. It is also very close to the park, old town/Plaza de Carmen and all the attractions. It was extremely clean, tidy, welcoming and well-stocked. Vicente had even bought us some food for our stay, including fresh Valencian oranges, drinks and treats for our daughter. He was in touch with us constantly to make sure everything was OK - which it was. Besides a bit of street noise, which is to be expected in any city, the apartment was pretty quiet at night, as it is not on a street with very many bars or restaurants - but just around the corner is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Valencia. The beds, towels, TV/DVD, kitchen appliances, bathroom, all were very new and nice, which made us feel like we were in a cosy hotel. Highly recommended!
