Soho Valencia Apartments
Was a nice apartment. Facilities were good, knives could’ve been sharper 😄 Location was great for us as we were travelling my train and it was a walk to both stations. The 4pm check-in was a bit problematic but that’s on me to keep an eye on later check-ins We only paid £63 a night so it was great ...
