The location is excellent - just two blocks from the Estacio Nord and two blocks from the old city. The apartment is bright and cheerful, and the renovation is lovely - modernized in all the ways you would want and with attention to historical brickwork and ceiling. Ignacio met us at the front door, took us upstairs and explained everything. He recommended some good places to eat and listen to jazz (I highly recommend Johnny Glass for post-dinner jazz) and communicated quickly whenever I had a question. I was worried that the apartment would be noisy, but with the windows closed, we could not hear any street noise. We also made use of the kitchen for our breakfast, and there are many markets within a one-minute walk of the apartment. Valencia as a city was an unexpected gem, and we would happily return.
