This was a fantastic AirBnB experience. The apartment was actually even better than the pictures! From the beginning, Rafah would respond to me quickly. He told the cleaning people who were there that we would be coming to leave our luggage because we arrived early in the day before check-in.
Once we came back we found the apartment sparkling clean and thoughtfully stocked for our arrival. We had coffee, tea, jam, bread, crackers, cookies, yogurt, milk, water, and even wine.
He also had a nice little book with information on the neighborhood with tips for restaurants, cafés and bakeries, as well as bike rentals, etc.
We had no problem taking the subway into town and even the bus system is easy to figure out using Google maps.
If I ever do come back to Valencia I am looking for his apartment first. There is nowhere​ else I would rather stay.
