Alvaro's flat was very clean and exactly as described in the advert. We found everything we needed whilst there including a comfortable travel cot for our young daughter. The neighborhood is quiet yet has several useful amenities nearby including two small supermarkets and several bakeries for early morning pastries & bread for sandwiches. We didn't eat out nearby but this was only because of having a younger child. There are a few local restaurants and there are some recommendations provided on the fridge door. As far as public transport is concerned, the nearest metro station is 10 minutes brisk walk away. We found the best option for getting into central Valencia was to use the number 19 bus & the bus stop for this is only 2 minutes from the front door. We are thinking of making Valencia a regular destination to escape the winter blues and would definitely stay here again.
