Maria's place is in an excellent location to experience old town Valencia. Right next to a very lively square that comes alive at night and also a jazz bar. Has space to park your bike, and a washer is always useful when staying for an extended period.
Juan was very fast in responding to my questions about the town and was very helpful with any issues I had. Don't skip walking or biking along the charming river bed park and enjoy this convenient laid back town.
