Overall a great experience staying at Jose’s apartment in El Cabanyal. I ended up extending my stay!
Jose is a great host, who was responsive throughout the stay and accommodating when it came to check-in / -out. He provided me with good recommendations in the area (and the old town).
The apartment is conveniently located in the El Cabanyal neighbourhood, which offers great restaurants / cafes and proximity to the beach. All the appliances are brand new, so it does not get much better. Any minor issues arising from the novelty of the appliances were resolved promptly by Jose.
I would rent a bike (I recommend Santa Marcelita bikes) when you’re there as it is a great way to explore Valencia.
