We enjoyed our stay at Isidro's apartment in Valencia. Our host was attentive and responsive to our needs and requests for information, etc. He is a wonderful host!
The location is a 20 to 25 minute walk to the city center where everyone goes because of the great number of must-see attractions. Or, you can take a taxi for about 6 euros.
There is a market conveniently located nearby in the same quiet neighborhood. There are only a few stairs to access the apt. The neighborhood is quiet. Don't be deterred by the Graffiti. It is everywhere in Valencia, part of the culture, and you might even appreciate the artwork near the school nearby.
The water pressure was excellent in the shower with plenty of hot water. I recommended to Isidro that he recaulk around the bottom seam of the shower for sake of appearance. Good value for the price!
