What €600EUR gets you in Valencia Spain - Apartment Tour

[@alanna_lee_lee]

I've been thinking about living in Spain for a year and was actually discouraged by all the 1300 euro apartment tour videos lol this one gave me hope!! thank you for this video :)

[@amparoaznar6051]

Barcelona and Madrid is more expensive

[@andrecavalcanti8949]

Awesome home!

[@hannest1996]

I love your apartment! Especially the living room, it radiates such a creative and tranquil vibes :) So much inspiration!

[@REVALENCIASPAIN]

Time for an update. Much has changed in the past 2 years in housing prices.

[@DutchPlanDerLinde]

your wife's office is such a mood, i love it

[@ginastagg4808]

I had an apartment on calle Cadiz in russafa for 16 years. I sold it 2 years ago just before covid hit. Reason? If your bedrooms and balconies overlook the street be prepared for it to be noisy all night once all the covid restrictions have been lifted. Those outside bars and terraces attract stag/hen weekenders, office parties, drunk students etc. Not a party pooper but it can get on top of you, especially in summer when you want to leave the windows open!

[@LucasGuanes]

that is true. Luckly for me this part of the street is not very busy, the closest bar is 1 street away

[@Mythic2456]

Can you explain what you mean by sold your apartment. Are you able to actually buy it as opposed to just renting it with a lease?

[@codythedoggo7671]

Wow man, you really scored with that apartment

[@emptybuddha5308]

Excellent video. I like the way you used the floor plan as you introduced each room. I’m surprised the windows are all so small….

[@LARUSAMEXICANA]

Thank you for this video!

[@schplinky]

Very well produced video. You guys have made the most of your space in a way I really admire.

[@tootz1950]

Better video than what most realtors do, excellent.

[@LucasGuanes]

hahaha

[@seamusmullarkey5996]

Lovely apartment. I'm impressed that you got that price, especially as I've heard that Rusafa is an in-demand neighborhood. It's especially nice that the place is so modern and in good shape. Enjoy it!

Yes, it was a lot of searching to find it!

Im assuming the price has at least doubled since the making of this video. I looked on Airbnb and you can't find even a shared room for less than $1,500 a month

Hi there I wanna know where you find this apartment. It’s really nice.could you please send me a link.

[@LucasGuanes]

Google Idealista

[@YESValencia]

in winter It can get chilly in drafty apartments. Cheapest solution is the butano heater. It has some downsides, but gives a lot of heat. ;)

[@LucasGuanes]

worth exploring that option

[@patypus555]

Dang, man. When I lived there, I rented a small studio for 330 EUR/mo. This, compared to that studio, looks like heaven!

[@LucasGuanes]

330/month was cheap though, but I understand what you men

Lucas, how can I find someone in Valencia to help me with finding an apartment like this? I’m an international student and I’m afraid people would take advantage of me cause I almost know nothing about the city and rules.

[@andresm.negron1102]

Many thanks Lucas, for sharing your experience! My wife and me are considering to retire in Spain. Your inputs about your experience are very valuable. As of today, Valencia is on the top alternatives.

[@smegheadish]

Very nice apartment!

[@buffalosoldat]

What about taxes in Spain? These are extremely high (45% income tax and you do not need to be rich to have your income taxed with this rate). Living there makes sense only if it's less than 183 days a year.

[@jovanrivera5574]

Great video! Thanks for sharing! How long was your lease contract?

[@LucasGuanes]

minimum 1 year

[@LilaB3an]

Do the thin walls also make you hear everything your neighbors are up to? (Are there any buildings in Valencia where the walls *aren't* paper thin?)

[@LucasGuanes]

Yes you can hear through some times. That's just the reality when living in most flats. If that's a concern then maybe a detached house would be a better option

[@mariecadet2100]

Thank’s bro

[@travelwithandrew1991]

Where is 600 euro a month apartment? I can't find any

[@LucasGuanes]

They are out there, probably a bit more expensive now that Covid has mostly passed

[@JERios-wv8lx]

The apartment looks a little cramped, lovely decorated though....I suppose that a $600 apartment outside the city center is a bit more spacious.

[@LucasGuanes]

That's right, roughly 70m2. There are also much larger ones in the city, but much more expensive. Outside the city, for the same price, you can get a newer and larger one.

[@lacucinadipapa3932]

In 2023... is it more like $1000/month for the same apartment? I am guessing!

[@LucasGuanes]

probably, but unfurnished might be cheaper

[@anacasanova7350]

[@LucasGuanes]

Good to hear. We brought some stuff over from the UK but I would say we spent 4-5K EUR to furnish. The bed alone was 1K €

Well done video tour - especially the basic layout on paper. Just curious as to what your internet connection speed is? We lived in Mons, Belgium 2000-2005 and were surprised at how fast (then) the downloads and uploads were compared to the States. Subscribed and thank you, Jen and Andy :)

[@LucasGuanes]

Hey Andy, thanks for the comment. Internet speeds in the city are very good (~500Mbps and low latency). Since my office is far from where the Wi-Fi router is, signal is weak. I wired up Ethernet cable all the way to my office and the speed is better than with Wi-Fi.
