Laura's apartment is a perfect place to stay when visiting Valencia. We thoroughly enjoyed it and it is best suited to a couple or a family of four.

The apartment itself is beautiful. Gorgeous art prints on the walls, great lighting, perfect layout. There are two ceiling fans in the bedrooms plus a good table-top one in the main living area. When the windows are shut it is generally very quiet. There is everything you need for your stay, including towels, hairdryer, crockery, pots and pans, coffee machine and speaker system for music. It was very clean and tidy.
It is especially great for younger children. Laura was happy for my two daughters (2 and 6) to play with her son's toys during our stay. The two children's beds were perfect for them. The outdoor space is also completely enclosed so they were very safe.
The outdoor area is a bonus. You can use the shade attached to the wall to give you more privacy but we felt we didn't need to use it. There is a nice range of plants, outdoor sink, table and chairs and a coolbox / beach toys if you want to head to the beach. Remember to take some DEET insect repellent though as the area currently has a lot of tiger mosquitos. We only suffered a few bites but have found out that natural citronella candles and sprays won't work. Keeping the doors shut in the evening in the living area helped too.
As for location it was perfect for us. We have stayed in the old town before. This time we were able to get to the beach quickly via the metro station only a few streets away; the buses right outside or across the bridge take you everywhere from Xativa to Rufasa to the City of Arts and Sciences. It also only takes a few minutes to walk to the gardens or the old town. It was great that there is a big supermarket only one street away too offering good prices.
Laura was a very kind host. She gave us lots of information about the flat and the location when we checked in, which was a very easy process. She kept in touch before and during our stay. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!
