Very beautiful apartment which is a part of history. It was an honour to stay here. You have exposed bricks and wooden beams on the ceiling from 130 years ago. Also, there is an air conditioner. You will be thanking the stars or God every time you come into the apartment, turn it on and cool down.
Check-in and -out:
Alberto is lovely and very helpful. Check-in and check-out were simple and fluent. He also answers pretty quickly on WhatsApp.
What is available in the apartment:
- Kitchen has plates, pans, and utensils. There is a fridge, a microwave and an oven. You can use the coffee machine, the water boiler and the toaster.
- There is also a hairdryer.
- Alberto provides clean towels which is awesome because our towels got dirty at the beach.
- Luckily there is also a washing machine. Just bring a little powder with you or buy it from the supermarkets nearby. This cleaned the sand off our clothes and towels.
Location:
- The apartment is located in Rusafa, the hip outgoing neighbourhood in Valencia.
- There are multiple (also vegan) restaurants, bars, and supermarkets in the neighbourhood. Mercata Rusafa is also 2 minutes away where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables etc.
Transportation:
- It takes roughly 20 minutes with the direct metro connection from the airport to Xativa (next to Estacion Nord - train station). From there it is like a 7 minutes walk to the apartment.
- If you like walking, you can also walk to the city centre, which will take around 30 minutes. We also walked slowly in the heat.
- There is a direct bus connection to the beach, the museum of sciences, and the oceanography (the biggest aquarium in Europe).
- Tram is also located around 5 minutes away from the apartment. Bus stops are everywhere around town, so also around the apartment. Also.. Metro transportation is free for everyone on Sundays so that is awesome!
What to see and do:
Just go to the tourist information desk (Google "Oficina Turisme València") and they will also give you information and a free map of Valencia. You can buy the VLC tourist cards at the tourist information desks or directly at the airport which allows you to use all transportations (bus, metro, tram) for 24 hours, 48 hours or 72 hours. With these cards, you can also get a reduction on certain museum entrance tickets, restaurants, activities etc. The information is all available online at https://www.visitvalencia. com/nl/shop/valencia-tourist-card/valencia-tourist-card.
