Ximo (Chimo) was an excellent host. He was happily waiting for us at the appointed time of arrival. he showed us his lovely two bedroom apartment with joy. We are a family of 5 and we had no troubles with using the pull out couch as a bed for our 11 year old son. Ximo really loves his town and his home. He has lived here for 15 years and he knows where everything is nearby. He had a drawer full of information on Valencia. He also pointed out places on a map for us. Since we are both vegetarians Ximo was able to tell me where the best places to eat in town were! The apartment was cozy and warm, which was important since we were visiting in late December. Ximo rented us his parking spot which was a better deal than street parking for sure! We were only in town for two nights so we didn't end up cooking supper in the apartment. The kitchen was small but adequate for our needs and it fit the space. We were able to do our laundry and even made friends with the gentlemen below in order to retrieve our socks that had fallen from the drying rack! The apartment is on a quiet street but that doesn't mean you are far away from everything. We walked everywhere since we were in the historical district. All restaurants and markets were near by. The park was very close and was a fantastic place to run and play with our kids.
