My husband and I stayed at Andrey's apartment for 15 nights, and found it to be the perfect location. Further, we welcomed the apartment's spaciousness - especially for two people. (Another couple stayed with us for 2 nights and it worked out well, but not sure if it would have worked for the entire 2 week period - but that's personal preference of having separate baths for longer stays.)
We cooked in a couple of times, and thought the kitchen was well-provisioned from a tableware and cookware standpoint. There was no oil, vinegar, salt & pepper or coffee, but there was tea and sugar. Further, several markets are located within a block of the apartment where you can pick up anything you need at very reasonable prices. We especially liked a place right around the corner which sold nice wine and prepared foods to take away! Also, Napoleon's across the street was great for morning coffee. Other restaurants nearby that we enjoyed included La Strada (on main road between the Gate and the Square), the Tapería Pulpería Ligazón (great T-bone steak and octopus), La Pappardella (between the main square and the central market), and Malaquita right down the street from the apartment was good for a drink and tapas. Finally, the very busy Central Bar in the Central Market was great for breakfast or a beer if you're in the market. But frankly, there are so many restaurants from which to choose and we didn't have any bad experiences with any of them.
Valencia is a very walkable city - and this apartment is strategically located to allow you to walk (or take metro) everywhere. The main square is about 10-15 minute easy walk in one direction. Walking in the other direction will get you to a shopping center with a very large El Corte Inglés store and numerous other stores and restaurants - including a large supermarket. Andrey has ample maps in the apartment to assist you finding your way around. I downloaded the maps.me app, and found it to be very helpful as well. We averaged walking about 7 miles a day - which was important because one must exercise to keep up with the incoming calories from the excellent food found in so many restaurants. Oh, did I mention Agua de Valencia?!
There is a large tv in the living room, though we were unable to find any English speaking channels on the regular cable. We were able to get a Netflix screen, but it kept timing out, so I'm uncertain whether it is available. I sent a note to Andrey regarding this and he wasn't sure either. But the wifi signal was strong and we were able to watch Netflix in the evening from time-to-time and on the one day that it was raining so hard that we opted to stay in for a good part of the day...and didn't feel like reading!
Loved having a washing machine - we hung the clothes from the "balcony" clotheslines to dry. The dishwasher was also appreciated. Ample soap was furnished for both, as was shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. The A/C worked very well at night - but during the day, we were happy to open the sliding door overlooking the garden and the bedroom doors, and have a nice cool breeze through the apartment.
Yes, as others have noted, the front door lock can be temperamental and one of the mattresses could be switched out for a newer model; and we did not meet Andrey as his non-English speaking housekeeper/assistant gave us our apartment orientation. However none of these things impacted our stay. We would happily spend more time in Valencia and in Andrey's apartment, and would highly recommend it to others as well. Bottom line: a very good value in a remarkable city.
