Location and prompt response to request for beach towels

Some small items needed repair but didnt spoil our stay

A super property in an excellent location. We loved hanging out on the balcony and watching Cabanyal life pass by. Some super coffee shops and beach restaurants a short walk away. The apartment has 2 good size double bedrooms with comfortable beds (one with A/C, the other with an effective modern ceiling fan) and is VERY well equipped.

Nothing - we loved it all!

Very responsive hosts. Clean, plenty of towels, kitchen sufficiently equipped for a short stay. In one of my favourite areas of Valencia, near beach. Not noisy and some great bars/restaurants nearby. Decent price in an expensive city.

Nothing really to not like, but apartment is practical rather than cosy or comfortable.

The location was good, close to the beach and you had most of what you needed around. The apartment had most of the needed things to be able to cook, and do most of the usual stuff. Entrance was from the street, so no need to carry luggages upstairs.

First of all - entrance from the street with no hallway - a simple door matt after you get in would be great - otherwise you bring all the dust and dirt from outside. The cleanliness in the apartment was poor quality. The floors and carpets were not really clean. The bathroom floor was not disinfected. Same goes for the shower - and you could see black mould in multiple places in the bathroom. The shower hose was cracked and you'd waste 50% of the hot water - so it wouldn't last 3 people to shower unless everyone is done in a few minutes. We also found hair from other people in the bed. The TV remote control was filthy - no one cleaned it in years. There was a horrid toilet smell and by 3rd day I got really pissed off and fixed it myself - by the time we left, the smell was gone. What pissed me off the most is that it took me 5 minutes to fix it, and only thought about it after 3 days. Another thing is that other people complained before about the smell and no one did anything about it - so the host knew, but didn't care. I honestly think the apartment has a lot of potential, but needs a lot of love. I wouldn't have picked the place knowing what's expecting us there.
