Valencia has quietly stolen Barcelona’s crown as Spain’s premier digital nomad hub. But for a productive long-term stay, a hotel room doesn’t cut it. You need a washing machine, a proper kitchen, and a separate living area.
Finding individual stays can be a gamble, so the smart move in 2026 is to book with professional Superhosts and property management companies. These providers offer the autonomy of a private apartment with the reliability of a hotel with fast Wi-Fi, professional cleaning, and English-speaking support. Here are the best apartment options for living like a local in Valencia.
SingularStays
SingularStays is the heavyweight champion of Valencia’s apartment market, managing over 200 properties across the city. Their inventory in the hipster district of Ruzafa is particularly strong for nomads, offering loft-style living with exposed brick and industrial finishes. Unlike a random host, they operate a central reception office for key collection and maintenance, meaning if your Wi-Fi drops or the AC fails, there is a dedicated team to fix it immediately. Their apartments come fully furnished with linens, kitchenware, and high-speed fibre optics standard, creating a “plug-and-play” experience for month-long stays.
Valencia Luxury
For those who prioritise aesthetics and status, Valencia Luxury delivers high-end, design-led residences. They specialise in penthouses and large-format apartments in prime locations, such as directly overlooking the Plaza del Ayuntamiento or the Cathedral. These units often feature expansive private terraces, Jacuzzis, and designer furniture, making them ideal for executive nomads who need to host client dinners or simply want a spectacular home office. The price point is higher, but the finish and location offer a level of prestige and comfort that standard rentals cannot match.
Ramirez Flats & Bar
Located just off Avenida del Puerto near the Mestalla stadium, Ramirez Flats bridges the gap between a boutique residence and a private apartment complex. The 40 studios and apartments are designed with a sleek, industrial aesthetic featuring warm woods and black metal accents. Each unit includes a fully equipped kitchenette and soundproof windows. The standout feature is the ground-floor bar and terrace, which functions as a communal living room and coworking spot. It allows residents to have their own private space while easily socialising with other guests and locals in a relaxed, curated environment.
HQ Rooms
HQ Rooms specialises in spacious, family-sized apartments in the Arrancapins neighbourhood, just outside the city centre. While many historic centre flats are cramped and dark, HQ units are modern, well-lit, and typically range from 50 to 80 square meters. They are designed for functional living, featuring full-sized kitchens with dishwashers and washing machines, making them ideal for longer stays. The building operates with a digital reception but maintains high hospitality standards, including soundproofing and ergonomic seating, catering to professionals who need a distraction-free environment.
Barrquart Apartments
Situated next to the Botanical Gardens and the Turia riverbed, Barrquart offers a sophisticated, quiet retreat away from the tourist noise. Housed in a beautifully restored late 19th-century building, the apartments retain historic touches, such as original Valencian mosaic tiles and high ceilings with wooden beams. However, the infrastructure is entirely modern, with climate control, smart TVs, and dedicated workspaces. It attracts writers, academics, and senior consultants who value the proximity to the park for morning runs and the silence of a residential neighbourhood for focused deep work.
Patacona Green Flats
If you are moving to Valencia for the Mediterranean lifestyle, Patacona Green Flats is your strategic base. Located in Alboraya at the northern end of the city’s coast, these apartments offer resort-style living within a residential complex. Residents get access to a massive swimming pool, paddle tennis courts, and private balconies with ocean views. The units are spacious and functional, ideal for storing surfboards or bikes. While it is a 20-minute bike ride to the city centre, the trade-off is a California-style daily routine where you can swim before your first Zoom call.
Parker The Urban Flats
Parker sits just outside the medieval city walls near the Torres de Quart. The flats are designed with a strong Scandinavian influence, featuring clean lines, light wood, and highly functional, uncluttered layouts. They market specifically to business travellers, ensuring that workspaces are ergonomic and that internet connections are enterprise-grade. The building features a tech-enabled entry system for 24/7 access. Its location is a perfect compromise: quiet enough to sleep, but a five-minute walk from the bustling bars and restaurants of El Carmen.
Llimona Suites
Llimona Suites offers a boutique apartment experience in the heart of the Ciutat Vella (Old City). Tucked away on a small street near the Central Market and La Lonja (a UNESCO site), this small building feels incredibly personal and intimate. The suites are vibrant and eclectic, featuring colourful tiles and local art that reflect the area’s artistic spirit. Each unit has a kitchenette and a distinct living space. It is the perfect base for the solo nomad or couple who wants to step out their door and immediately be immersed in Valencia’s history and food culture.
Living Valencia
Living Valencia is one of the most established agencies in the city, managing a diverse portfolio that ranges from beachside flats in the fishermen’s district of Cabanyal to modern apartments near the City of Arts and Sciences. They excel at bridging the gap between short-term stays and long-term leases, offering flexible rental terms hard to find elsewhere. Their team provides personalised relocation support, helping nomads navigate the city’s geography. Their beach inventory is particularly popular for winter workations when the city centre can be colder.
Flats Friends
Flats Friends offers affordable, no-nonsense apartments in key locations, including the Soho building near Central Market and various spots near the beach. They focus on value and core utility, providing clean, modern bases for nomads on a budget. Their check-in process is streamlined and digital, and their units, while sometimes compact, are fully self-sufficient with private kitchens and bathrooms. It is an excellent option for younger nomads or bootstrapped founders who want the privacy of an apartment without paying the premium for luxury serviced amenities.
