Carlos and Petra were super hosts and made us very welcome. When we arrived, they spent time telling us about Valencia and showing us places to visit. It was a great start. The flat was impeccably clean and tidy and was well supplied with those things which travellers find so helpful, shower gel, salt, washing up liquid etc. We found the beds comfortable as well as the living accommodation and enjoyed our stay in the flat. The location was very convenient for the historic town and the market place. Most places of interest were within a reasonable walking distance. Coming from the UK, we found the shutters and graffiti in the older part of Valencia a little strange, but everyone we met was helpful and some even went out of their way to help us. We had an early start at 5am when again. Carlos and Petra came to the rescue and ordered a taxi to meet us outside the house. The taxi arrived dead on time, was friendly and good value too. It was much easier than relying on my Spanish. We recommend visiting the central market (and remember to look up) as well as the older buildings. The railway station is also worth a visit and we enjoyed walking the length of the park on the old river bed from the old city gatehouse to L’Oceanografic and back. You can take your time and there are cafes in the park for a rest and a drink. We would not recommend walking further though as, contrary to the green colouring on the tourist map, the area between the park and the beaches is not particularly attractive to walk through.
