Vicente was a welcoming host who even blocked a parking space for us outside the flat. He had also provided wine, cakes and other essentials for us. As expected Valencia in August is very hot so we opted to pay the extra for aircon. Well worth it. The property is well located within walking distance of the old town and all the sights. The area is extremely safe and we never felt uneasy walking late at night. We can thoroughly recommend the restaurant almost opposite the apartment - L' Appetite Bistro. We had an exceptional meal (Gastronomique menu) including drinks that came to 180 Euros for 4 including drinks. It is possible to eat there for less but we really splashed out. We all agreed that it was one of the best meals any of us had ever had. See Trip Advisor for more. There are an abundance of good restaurants, bars and shops in the immediate proximity.
