Manuel’s apartment is in probably the best location in Valencia – right near the cathedral and market and all the nightlife and restaurants. Manuel made us feel very welcome and took time to tell us about all the exciting places in Valencia we should go. It was on his recommendation that we went to the Science Park and we could not stop telling people about how fantastic it was, especially the aquarium. He also told us about a little tapas restaurant nearby the apartment – it has “gato” in the name – where we had 7 tapas and 4 drinks for 38 euros! Manuel left us a bottle of wine in the fridge as a present, which I thought was such a lovely welcoming gesture. He is such a good host and welcomed us wholeheartedly even though we were half an hour late arriving and then got lost, he walked down the street to find us as I had written down the wrong address for the apartment. If I am visiting Valencia again, I will definitely stay at Manuel’s apartment.
