We had a lovely time at Francesca's apartment (2 adults/2 kids). The location was perfect for us, surrounded by locals instead of tourists. Handy shops close by (Mercadona round the corner for a supermarket dash) and a handy hardware store a few doors down which seems to sell everything you could ever need. The beach is so close, making trips back really easy when wet and sandy. Too many nice places to eat to mention though we really enjoyed Ca La Mar round the corner. Apartment was spotless when we arrived. Other people have mentioned the noise at night, but it wasn't a problem for us, peaceful most evenings. We used the Metro to get around (we bought a bonometro card) and the buses (using an the 'EMTValencia' app). We totally fell in love with Valencia and wouldn't hesitate to rent Francesca's apartment again.
