Niki and Ryan are both avid divers and want to live near the beach so they can easily access the sea. They are a bit apprehensive about the real estate market in Valencia, as they've heard it can be quite competitive. However, they are determined to find their dream home in this beautiful city.
The episode begins with Niki and Ryan touring their first potential property. The apartment is located in the heart of Valencia and boasts a large balcony with stunning views of the city.

While they love the location, they ultimately decide that this property isn't the right fit for them.
Next, Niki and Ryan tour a more spacious apartment that is located a bit further from the city center. The apartment has plenty of storage space for their diving gear and even has a private terrace that overlooks the ocean. Although they love the location and the property itself, they've been warned by their real estate agent that there may be some construction noise in the area, which turns out to be a dealbreaker for them.

In the end, Niki and Ryan finally find the perfect property, but it comes with a catch. The property is a bit over their budget, and they'll need to compromise on some of their wishes to make it work. However, they ultimately decide that the location and unique features of the property are worth it, and they make an offer on the spot.
