Our trip to Valencia was made even more special by our stay in Rafa's wonderful apartment!... Met by Rafa on arrival, he showed us around, had got us some birthday treats and also gave us some great extra tips on top of my own research for great places to see and eat!... The apartment itself was spacious, comfortable and all the little extra touches - big fluffy white towels, kitchen and bathroom essentials - made it somewhere between being relaxed at home and spoilt in a lovely hotel! The roof terrace a luxury addition to the roomy interior... perfect!... Great location to walk around the city with most sights and places to go to easily walkable. We even braved a walk all the way to the beach!... We loved having Ostres Pedrin a few doors away (great pre-dinner wine and oyster bar) that became our new local!... Would highly advise visits to La Lonja, Museo de Bella Artes and St Nicholas for cultural fixes. Restaurants we really enjoyed most were Anyora bodega and Dos Estaciones. If you fancy a night of a five course dinners then the pizza takeaway across the road was fab too!... We loved our time there... 5 nights felt too short but we packed alot in and hope for a return trip in the future :-)
