CoLiving El Juanito

I will not give it a 10 because if you have a light sleep, you are not going to be able to sleep in the main room (Valencia). They should immediately invest in double glazed windows because it's VERY noise outside and there's a school, right in front. So be prepared.

The room floor were not cleaned. Ofcourse sharing a flat with strangers has its own challenges - like cleaning after yourself in the bathroom. But apart from that - all was good.

I would have wished for a bit more proactive communication with the host. When I arrived, the key to the building (which I picked up at a store) didn't work and I couldn't get in. This problem was known to the host but she didn't inform me and I couldn't reach her at first, so I returned to the store with all my luggage bc I thought they gave me the wrong key. This problem persisted for the first week of my stay and didn't get into the building a few times at night. It made me feel unsafe bc it's not an area where you want to be stuck on the street at night longer than necessary. I would have wished for more support with that. The problem was resolved eventually. There were other unsettling issues like strangers in the apartment who seemed quite upset bc their reservation was cancelled, and the police showing up once to look for someone whose backpack got stolen. For the rooms with a view to the backyard (I attached a photo of the "view") don't expect any natural light or airflow. This is the main reason, why I wouldn't recommend the place for long-term stays. The chairs in the community area are cheap plastic chairs that don't make you wanna spend longer work sessions on them. Almost all doors in the apartment are squeaky or sluggish which woke me up at night many times. In the bathrooms, there are no hooks or shelves – the only option to have your towel and clothes in reach after a shower, is the toilet seat. The cleaners come once a week (and do a great job!) which is okay if you're lucky enough to share the apartment with considerate people. The guests are responsible for taking out the trash but you have to be really willing to read all the instructions to know about that. This puts unfair expectations on long-term guests who seem to be slightly responsible for teaching new arrivals or taking care of it themselves. It would be helpful if someone would check you in and explain everything.

The neighbours of the above appartments made a lot of noise, with a crying child all the time.
