We (my mother, 8 year old son and I) spent a week at Howard's apartment and had a great time. It is about a ten to fifteen minute stroll to the beach which is beautiful. Great for kids as it is quite shallow for a good way out. Howard provided fans for us when the air conditioning was not on, as in July it was very hot even at night. There are some lovely cafes and restaurants nearby. The apartment was big enough for us and clean. Howard kept in contact before our trip and Nataly was our contact in Valencia and she was very helpful.
