    Description

    Hey, I’m Salma. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs.
    I live in an apartment in Benimaclet (Valencia), a lively neighborhood full of cafés, bars, cultural activities and a young, international vibe. The flat has 2 bedrooms, a shared bathroom, an open-plan kitchen and living room, plus a nice terrace. It’s very well connected: only 5 minutes walking to the metro (that goes to the city center) and the tram (that goes to the beach).

    What I offer
    * A private room.
    * Access to the kitchen, living room and terrace.
    * A friendly environment in a vibrant and cultural area of Valencia.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Benimaclet is a neighborhood with a strong character: it used to be an independent village and still retains its charming atmosphere with small streets, lively squares, and urban art on the walls. It's a very dynamic area thanks to its proximity to the universities, so there's always a young atmosphere, bars with live music, cozy cafes, and a wide range of alternative cultural activities. It also has its own neighborhood market, nearby parks, and easy access to the Valencian countryside ("la huerta"), perfect for walking or cycling among fields and traditional farmhouses.

    Castellano
    Benimaclet es un barrio con mucha personalidad: antiguamente fue un pueblo independiente y todavía conserva su aire de pueblo con calles pequeñas, plazas llenas de vida y arte urbano en las paredes. Es una zona muy dinámica gracias a la cercanía de las universidades, por lo que siempre hay ambiente joven, bares con música en directo, cafés acogedores y una gran oferta cultural alternativa. Además, cuenta con su propio mercado de barrio, parques cercanos y acceso fácil a la huerta valenciana, perfecta para pasear o ir en bici entre campos y alquerías tradicionales.
