I chose this location because I planned to spend more time near the waterfront rather than downtown, so be aware it's several miles/about 15 minutes by cab or transit to where the heart of Valencia is. Maria, Alberto's mom, met us when we arrived and was delightful and very helpful. She also arranged a cab for our ride to the train station for our departure which was greatly appreciated because it's not in a location where one will just drive by and Google gave our taxi driver from the train station when we arrived some trouble finding the place. The neighborhood is rather rough around the edges in terms of appearance, but we never had any issues and there were lots of places to eat in walking distance. The house itself is very cute and well-maintained, full of bright colors with a comfortable layout and a lovely balcony, perfect for unwinding before bed with a book and a glass wine.
