Howard's place is pretty perfectly located in El Cabanyal. The neighbourhood is really interesting, I spent a lot of the time just strolling around exploring there instead of València! As advertised the beach is just down the road, transport connections into the city and from the airport are only a few minutes' walk, it's great. He is an absolute gent, happy to give tips or local information on places and is very chilled, as well as making me feel at home.
