TRUSTING HFM IS A MISTAKE, don't have anything to do with them if you go to Valencia!!
They seem (and I repeat, SEEM) competent and reliable compared to other agencies, but after a while you realize you were wrong.
Apartments are definitely excessively expensive, and moreover be careful: do not be fooled by the pictures (I'm talking for the ones who think to rent the flat via web)!! PHOTOS ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT THEY CAN DO WELL!!
They also rely on a maintenance service that is incompetent and unreliable.
Having back the deposit is a struggle...They take about two months (yes, 2 months, you read it right) and in my case they also made a number of errors in the calculation of the bills, oddly pushing up my final bill.
I CAN ONLY GIVE YOU ADVICE: LOOKING FOR AN HOME ALONE IN VALENCIA IS VERY EASY. IT'S FULL OF AVAILABLE ROOMS/FLATS AT A LOW PRICES, YOU CAN MAKE GREAT DEALS AND SAVE A LOT OF MONEY THAT YOU CAN USE TO PARTY HARD!! ;)
enjoy your erasmus/vacation guys/girls
