Loft puerto de Valencia

I had to be very cautious going up and down the stairs

I booked a room for one night to rest after a long and exhausting flight. But as soon as I entered the room, I realized that it was impossible to relax there. The air was stuffy, and there was a horrible smell of mold, dampness, and cheap air freshener. All I wanted was to escape as quickly as possible. The small window only opens halfway and doesn’t help at all. In the evening, I had to leave the door open just to get a bit of fresh air. It was uncomfortable because passersby could easily look inside. At night, we had to sleep with the window open, and my daughter got bitten by insects so badly that she developed blisters. On the second floor, there’s a tiny bed meant for teenagers. I could only fit on it up to my knees. It’s absolutely impossible to sleep there due to the heat and the horrible smell. The room was disgustingly dirty. In the bathroom, there were filthy sponges and cloths with signs of mold, and even a dead cockroach. The dishwasher was taped shut with duct tape, and I couldn't open it. It felt like the place used to be a garage. It's very dark inside, and even during the day, we had to keep the lights on. This was the worst place I’ve ever stayed in. Honestly, it would’ve been better to sleep outside.
