COHAUSING CABANYAL is a temporary shared living arrangement for people who are looking for accommodations in Valencia. The typical resident is a person who needs to be in town for a shorter period of time—mainly due to their studies, vocational training, or job-related activities.
The house, located at 95 Calle Angels (c/ Angels, 95) in the old fisherman’s quarter of Valencia called El Cabanyal, which is located on the Mediterranean coastline. The actual building is relatively new and it has been renovated recently to accommodate its use as a coliving space. The property on which the house is located measures 113 m2. The house itself consists of:
The building’s interior boasts 456 m2 of living space altogether.
The common areas are all located on the ground floor. The main door opens into the front hallway, and to the left you will find our multi-purpose room. We designed it to enable residents to have the opportunity to interact with each other and spend time together every day. At the far end of the front hallway, the stairs lead up to the individual rooms—all of which are on the upper floors.
This room is intended for all Cohausing residents to use and enjoy. We only ask that everyone be respectful when using and sharing it with the other residents. The room is nearly 100 m2 in size and can be divided into five zones.
In addition to all these amenities, there is a shared bathroom in the common area, meaning you don’t need to run back to your room every time nature calls. The common areas are designed for all Cohausing residents to use and enjoy. We only ask that everyone be respectful when using and sharing it with the other residents. These areas are cleaned by a team of professionals once a week.
The upper floors feature a total of ten single or double rooms—all with private bathrooms—as well as two spacious studios located in the converted attic on the third floor. From the head of the stairs, which are adjacent to the entrance hall, you can access the first and second floors, where the individual rooms are located with their corresponding en suite bathrooms.
The Basic and Superior rooms are street-facing and have a separate balcony overlooking a quiet street in a pedestrian zone, whereas the Standard rooms overlook a small, pleasant green space in the inner courtyard. All rooms have an Ethernet network connection, as well as USB charging capabilities, including the newer USB-C ports, the most recent European standard for smartphone charging.
The converted attic is located on the third floor, where two studios have been built in perfect symmetry— with spacious ceilings stretching upward more than 3 meters in the highest part and a living area with sloped ceilings and a Velux® skylight. It’s a great way to enjoy the starry sky as it twinkles over Valencia. Each studio has a fully equipped kitchenette (including refrigerator, microwave, induction cooktop, coffeemaker, sink) so you’re not forced to leave the room anytime you get hungry.
Across from the kitchenette is the bathroom, which features a shower, toilet, and a premium-grade sink in the front, giving the studio a modern and avant-garde look. There are two additional zones fully integrated into the living design, making you feel like you’re living a large multifunctional space. For example, right under the light, you will find a space with two armchairs, a rug, and a coffee table—ideal for relaxing after a long day. The folding dining table is paired with two folding chairs that can all be put away to maximize your available space.
In addition, each studio has a large cabinet to store your clothes and personal belongings, two individual desks, comfortable designer chairs for working, and two beds with wooden headboards that can be pushed together, as necessary, as well as nightstands and lights. All the necessary bedding is also provided.
The building is equipped with the latest standard in technology to facilitate your stay and so you can enjoy all the advantages on offer. Because we take our environmental impact and the topic of sustainability seriously, there is a solar power system that supplies electricity for the house, helping us achieve energy autonomy. Thanks to this, the whole building is equipped with air conditioning for both cooling and heating via air ducts, and each room has a control unit so that you can select the ideal temperature individually.
The hot water comes from a boiler with sufficient capacity and pressure to provide an optimal service to the whole building. In terms of connectivity, the house offers powerful fiber optic cables and routers bring the internet to each of the rooms. In addition, it is currently supported by its own high-speed Wi-Fi network (WIFI 6) with routers. Each room has a personalized password, in addition to a general common network for the entire house. This prevents the Wi-Fi networks from being oversaturated and enables internet connectivity at maximum speeds regardless of the number of connected users. The building features keyless access both for the house and the individual rooms. The door lock system uses a digital keypad to enter a PIN code, which you will receive by email prior to your arrival.
As described above, the shared kitchen and laundry room are equipped with the latest high-quality appliances. There is a manual that compiles all the instructions on how to use the equipment. It is available next to the bulletin board, in both Spanish and English, for residents to consult.
It is important to emphasize that this house is a COLIVING space, where peaceful coexistence requires that all residents be respectful of one other and behave extremely well, both in the use of the individual rooms, as well as in the common areas. The rules of conduct are provided in a separate document and will be posted on the bulletin board in the house for easy access. Residents need to complete the check-in form that will be provided to them, in which they agree to respect our rules of conduct. To ensure the proper use of the common areas by the residents, we have equipped them with 24/7 security cameras.
