We had a wonderful stay and thoroughly enjoyed exploring Valencia from Jose's place, which is centrally located. Everything (markets, shopping, restaurants, etc.) was within easy walking distance.
We enjoyed views from the balcony while enjoying wines, bread, meats and cheeses purchased from the Central Market just around the corner.
Valenciais definitely a place that tugs at your heart strings. We may return in March for a longer stay during the Fiestas season.
