Viva Valencia
Review Submitted: April 30, 2009
Date of Stay: April 2009
Chose Valencia on a whim, will definitely be returning there.
Loved the apartment, well furnished and spacious and everything worked as it should, even the central heating to take the chill of a couple of the mornings. The whole complex is nice and the concierge at the secure front gates was very friendly and helpful. My daughter loved the little swing in the play area, we had to stop there every time we left and returned to the flat.When the swimming pool is finished it will be hard to get them to leave at all!
The Science museum and surrounding complex is great and the Aquarium is magnificent (although a touch on the expensive side). Turia park, which used to be the main river bed, is full of little surprises and is lovely to walk through to get into the Old City, about a 45 min stroll. The kids loved the Parc Gulliver part of Turia Park, loads of very intersting free slides, very popular with the locals too.
The bus stop around the corner takes you too the beach or the centre of the Old Town in about 20 mins, perfectly located for both.
Visit the tranquil Botanical Gardens, the busy Central Market (meat, cheese and fish) or the small but beautifully designed Bioparc(zoo) which was excellent. Or you could just chill out at one of the many Old City cafes and watch the world go by.
Great shopping centres and supermarkets in the area, although they are closed on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
The owners were great, very helpful and always polite.
I would recommend this apartment and Valencia in general for an interesting City/Beach break and will be going back very soon.

When we first arrived, we were extremely pleased with the quality & space of the apartment. Very luxurious. The location was ideal for us, right opposite the 'City of Arts & Sciences' - amazing. An easy bus trip for either the beach or the old town of Valencia. Communication & assistance from the owners was excellent.
We would recomend this apartment from both the perspective of location and also the helpfulness of the owners. 1st Class !!

This super apartment is just perfect, sparkling clean, it has everything you could possibly want. Look out of the window and you will see the City of Arts and Sciences just across the road, a walk along the Turia through trees, coffee bars, play and sports areas, takes you right to the heart of the city.
Super sightseeing, wonderful food, cheap buses; safe and pleasant area to be in, not too noisy so you can sleep, everyone very friendly, not laughing at our poor Spanish. Concierges absolutely super, friendly and welcoming every time they saw us.
Owners could not have been more helpful and friendly.
Would certainly recommend to everyone (well, perhaps not everyone as I would like to come back myself one day!)

Valencia City Break

This apartment was spacious, clean and well equiped. It is situated in a gated community, with shaded seating/play area and a helpful concierge.
It is idealy situated midway between the town and beach, a 10 minute bus ride in either direction. There is also ashopping centre with Corte D'Inglese, Zara, Mango etc and many cafes and bars nearby.
It overlooks the City of Arts and Sciences and is within walking distance of The Palais di Musica.
The owners were extremely approachable and helpfull.
This property is suitable for couples or families.

this place exceeded our expectations from beginning to end. the flat was huge, very well equipped/maintained and sparkling clean.
the apartment itself is in a great location - you have views of the city of arts and science from the living room window, and its a 20 minutes walk along the old river bed into the old town. its in a very (upmarket) spanish residential area, so lots of local cafes, shops, bars nearby and you can avoid feeling like tourist. Everyone we met was friendly - concierges, neighbours, even the taxi drivers. communication with the owners was great - friendly, fast and helpful.
we stayed during las fallas 2008. And we had a fab time – a great big clattery week long festival in the middle of a great big clattery modern Spanish city. it’s what they do best. We were far enough from the madness to be able to sleep at night, but close enough to feel part of it. we hired bikes, ate churros, stayed up very very late, drank beer, ate in funky restaurants, drank mohitos, ate in traditional restaurants, saw lots, and walked our socks off.
Valencia is a really great city - a good mixture of old and new, relatively cheap, safe and friendly. so just go, and when you do stay here.
hasta luego

Your apartment suited our needs perfectly. We liked the locality and The Old City was easy to get to as were the port/beaches. Having El Cortes Ingles round the corner was helpful for buying excellent food and too much hot chocolate for breakfast ! It was an enjoyable stay.
Beautiful apartment in amazing area!

I have not been in a rental apartment before that was so complete. Tastefully furnished and decorated and all equipment possible available. A very helpful concierge at the gate 24 hours (we got along fine even though we did not speak Spanish and he did not speak much English) and when you leave the apartment you are in a museum! Just walking along the Turia and looking at the amazing architecture was our favourite pastime every evening. No need for a car at all, we took the bus everywhere and taxi´s are cheap. The perfect place to stay if you want to combine beach and city, because the beach is also just 2 kms away! We were there in January and actually had lunch on the beach. Will recommend and be back ourselves for sure.
