Harald's place was perfect for seeing the city of Valencia. It's very centrally located and we were able to easily walk to just about all the sites we wanted to see. The surrounding area has tons of cafe's, grocery stores, bars, restaurants, and shops. The Central Mercado is 15min by foot and the city is so beautiful to walk that it felt much closer. We walked to the Science museum, an indoor mall, train station and several other markets. After a very long flight over we were relieved to find that a moderate sized grocery (Mercadona) was just steps away from the apartment and were able to get fully stocked without having to get a taxi for food. Besides being in a great location, our host Harald was extremely responsive. His friends who were helping with the apartment since he wasn't in town were just as responsive. During our stay the dishwasher broke and Harald had someone out to look at it the same day. Definitely a good choice to consider. Beds are very comfortable.
