We had a very good time (one week) in Valencia at the beautiful appartement (with great, sunny roof garden!) of Jose and Emilio. They picked us up at the airport and when we got into the appartment, even the refrigirator was filled, as the next day the shops were closed due to a holiday. We felt very welcome!
The appartment is close to bus and metro stations and just a 5 minutes walk to the beach. We rented bikes for 3 days and cycled a lot through Valencia (Turia Park and to Albufera Natural Park).
The neighborhood seems to be a little old, but is very nice and we felt very safe. At the other side of the street there is a bakery and shops/supermarkets are within 5 minutes walk.
Great stay, we can recommend this appartement!
