This charming luminous & spacious efficiently air-conditioned second floor studio apartment is located within a charming Valenciano recently listed historic building.

4 minutes walk to the city's *'most happening' cosmo' El Carmen - *especially during nocturnal hours. Approached via resplendent Torres de Serranos. Albeit studio's location is somewhat quieter. Its seawards orientation enjoys welcoming coastal breezes offering a welcome respite. Especially after exploring the Historic city with its narrow confined & during the warm summer months, invariably quite airless streets.

Fully equipped partially updated American style kitchen. Separate fully enclosed bathroom with modern fitments. Delightful living area with four large fully opening windows (2 floor - ceiling) French style with full shutters.. Two with small balconies, which all have extremely pleasant outlooks, three enjoy outlooks over a charming leafy Convent's garden - allowing sunshine morning to late afternoon. Also access to semi-communal rooftop 16m2 terrace with charming inner city aspects. Sony micro HiFi stereo system for plug-in music streamers - best H.D sound with iPad - & no buffering! Flat screen TV, DVD player etc.

Mega powerful 4.5 Kw reverse cycle air-conditioner replaced 2024 - N.B; many similar apartments invariably offer undersized 2.5 Kw unit's - i.e; they'll take twice as long & necessitate 'maximum' setting to have any desired cooling effect! In particular those with higher ceilings.

All major motorway connections ie; Madrid, Barcelona, Alicante etc easily accessed within 10 mins via A7 & CV 35 - Easy with GPS.

See metrovalencia web-page for route planners/timetables and excellent 'bono' rates.

Outdoor Pool/ Biopark etc. Great outdoor pool set in rather exclusive lush sub-tropical gardens at Club Hipica just 5/6 mins walk in Calla Jaca. Used by Valencianos in 'the know'. Entrance fee 4.50€. Young children €2. Go for the day with a picnic. Excellent silver service standard albeit understated terraced restaurant overlooks it. Tip; Menu del dia - good value.

Valencia's finest gardens and museums which you can access readily in just 4 mins via the 'rio de cultura' City's 9km impressive Turia river gardens.

Europe's largest Bio-park for over 1000 different species in a natural setting. Easily accessed by metro within 20 mins or walk/cycle through the delightful Turia river gardens either 10 mins bike or 40 mins walk.

Beaches: Malvorossa city beach & quirky charming barrio of Cabanyal. Blue Flag bathing and a broad fine sandy beach with an excellent choice of nearby restaurants/bars. Smart terraced cafes/restaurants and cocktail/tapas bars abound the Marinas. Mediterranean city living doesn't get much better with its easy accessibility. Its excellent value and with a myriad of subtle attractions etc

El Saler glorious fine sandy beach continuing onwards as far as the eye can see with duned backdrops, scented Pines and great cycle tracks weaving throughout. Fantastic for skaters/skate borders. 'Bus-it' easily from Plaza Reina for a couple of euros @ just 10 mins walk away.

Only stay here if you want to be yelled at by the owner. The owner yelled at us because the Taxi from the train station dropped us off a half block away. He was yelling at me on the phone and kept yelling from the minute we saw him. I have never been treated that way by any owner and we have travelled 47 countries. We did not stay due to feeling threaten by this man.

I stayed here for one week. Everything is as pictured. Walking distance to old town. There is a bus stop right in front of the building. Three blocks from the Sagunt Tram stop. The apartment is well stocked. Very clean. It is a studio apartment, which is great for a solo traveler or couple. There is several restaurants and grocery stores within the area. David the host is excellent with communication via whatsapp. Valencia is a beautiful city with tons to offer. I hated to leave. Thanks David.

This apartment is absolutely adorable. The location was great to a grocery store, bike rentals, tons of restaurants. And Valencia is beautiful! And even though the city is great, we did enjoy spending some time in the room! So much character! David and Malcolm were wonderful hosts. Malcom gave us lots of suggestions at check in. Would 100% recommend this place!

Relaxing stay
This apartment is clean, updated and close to everything you need. I loved the character of the old building. Especially, the original brick walls and exposed beams. The locks on the doors were the most challenging. The place is old and the doors stick. Everything was within walking distance that we needed. The historic district is just a couple blocks away and so many restaurants to choose from. We had a great time and would stay again.

Short Stay in Valencia
The location of the property makes it an ideal place to stay if you’re coming to valencia. It’s close to the old town as well as close to the metro which takes you wherever you need to go, including the beach. The flat is comfortable, has all the amenities you’d need and is perfect for a couples break away. Highly recommend.

Had a great time in Valencia and enjoyed the apartment very much. It is very cozy and location is very convenient - close to the center but not very busy - quiet location close to local grocery store. It is on a 3rd floor so be prepared for a walk up the stairs. Overall - very comfortable, cozy and convenient place.

this property is ideally situated for both old city touristy sightseeing time and lazy beach days. the old town is only just 5 minute walk up the road with the metro just around the corner, if you do fancy a day at the beach, the metro system is cheap and easy to follow and gets you there within 20 minutes, overall an enjoyable break,

Smart and convenient studio apartment, well equipped. Would highly recommend.
The apartment was nicely decorated with lovely exposed brick walls, a beamed ceiling and french windows. Just as the photos. The bed was comfortable, kitchen modern and had everything and bathroom modern. Everything worked well. We found that there was plenty of space. The apartment itself is really an easy walk to the Turia Gardens and the old town. Tramvia line 4 is nearby (for the beach) and a little further is a Lidl. There are also plenty of cafes nearby. The location is very convenient. We stayed a week and had plenty to see and do. Valencia is very relaxing and has great places to eat.
