The host was extremely responsive and provided lots of useful information. The apartment itself was very good except no air conditioning in the bedrooms, only one unit in the entire apartment out in the living quarters. She provided a bottle of water in the fridge, lots of espresso pods, towels, etc. The terrace was large and mostly covered. The location was very close to old central Valencia. However the neighborhood looked very run down lots of graffiti. That said, we never felt unsafe. We saw young women and teens walking by themselves. Seemed very safe just appearance was not great. Parking was a hassle too-- recommended using public transportation, taxi, or walking.

I stumbled upon this listing arranging a last minute stay in Valencia.....and I am so glad I did. If you are thinking of this listing, BOOK IT! There's no reason to look anywhere else. First, Carmen, the host, was amazing from the minute I booked her apartment for the week. She was always responsive and provided excellent recommendations and advice. She is a great ambassador for Valencia! She met me at the apartment and went through everything I would need to know...she even had a transport card to get me on the bus and underground immediately. For the apartment, the location is second to none. Walkable to the TGV train station and less than 3 blocks to a main bus line and subway station. The location is excellent and easy to get anywhere in Valencia quickly and in less than one transfer - by bus or subway. The bus to Mercado Central is a 2 minute walk! The apartment itself is a gem - 2 bdrm, 2 bath, it has everything you will need. Not like other VRBOs that have 3 spoons, two dishes and a few glasses - the kitchen has more than everything you will need to make delicious meals at "home." In fact there is a great grocery store right downstairs as well. The terrace is a wonderful bonus, I had coffee out there every day. The WiFi is very fast. All in all this was a 6 Star accommodation and experience that I would wholly recommend to anyone who is traveling to Valencia - whether for a few days or a week or more. Again, look no further than this Urban Oasis with Terrace gem!!

We had the most delightful stay at Carmen’s place. One of the best experiences amongst VRBO stays. HOST: Carmen is the most gracious and welcoming host. Excellent communications post booking and pre-arrival. We started receiving links to Valencia’s attractions and things to do a week prior. Carmen met us at the apartment and gave us a thorough walk through of the place, plus restaurant recommendations and tips on public transportation. She is always just one text away to answer questions. APARTMENT: Immaculately clean with a fully equipped kitchen, very well-appointed bedrooms and bathrooms and comfortable living room. Terrace is a delight for early morning coffee and evening cocktails and dinner. The overall feel is that of having the pleasure of staying at a friend’s place while visiting Valencia. LOCATION: Excellent. An easy 8-minute walk from the train station. There is a big supermarket around the corner, and good restaurants nearby. Metro and bus stops are a 5-minute walk. Highly recommend for anyone considering visiting Valencia. We most definitely look forward to returning to Valencia and visiting Carmen again.

After a short walk from the train station, we were met at the apartment by Carmen, who is a wonderful host. Her apartment very clean and is furnished with ample towels, cooking essentials (including olive oil, vinegar, spices, coffee, and sugar), and plenty of TP and detergent for dishes and laundry. We walked most places (the lively Ruzafa neighborhood is right across the tracks) and took the metro from the Jesus stop when going greater distances in Valencia. We highly recommend the apartment.

Our family enjoyed a perfect week at this property. It was plenty spacious for our family of 4, with a well-stocked kitchen. The terrace was bright and felt very private. The neighborhood is safe and comfortable, with access to everything you would need. It is an ideal location from which to explore both Russafa and the Old City, and the short walk to both the train station and metro made it easy to get anywhere in Valencia in less than 30 minutes. Carmen was a great host who provided helpful recommendations and was quick to respond to communications. We look forward to returning in the near future.

It’s what we expected

My wife and I spent nearly 3 weeks in this apartment whilst we enjoyed the delights of Valencia. Carmen was a very attentive host. She was there to check us in and give us information about the apartment and she responded quickly to any queries and requests (including booking a taxi for us when we left). The apartment is comfortable and well equipped. The terrace is quite large with appropriate furniture and has plenty of shade. There is a supermarket round the corner from the apartment. Bus and metro stops are close by which makes getting around the city very easy. All in all we thought the apartment was an excellent base for a holiday in Valencia.

Absolutely the best experience we could have imagined. Starting with our Host, Carmen.She met us at Check in and showed us her beautiful apartment. Such attention to detail.She was the perfect host. Apartment is easy access to restaurants , pharmacies and grocery stores. Easy walk to metro and train station. Hope to come back soon to beautiful Valencia.
