I loved staying at Leo's place, right in the centre of old Valencia. Leo is a great host: excellent communicator who provided very good recommendations for things to see, do - and eat ! - in and around central Valencia. Check-in was handled by a lovely friend of his as Leo was out of town when I arrived.
The apartment is compact but very comfortable and I also felt very safe there. A great 'bolt hole' to come back to after a morning's sightseeing or an afternoon on the beach:-) It has a lovely double bed with gorgeous bedlinen (extra points there!!). It's in a busy part of town, so bear this in mind if you like peace and quiet;-) Having said that, even as a light sleeper, I managed to sleep well during my week's stay.
There are excellent transport links very close to the flat and I found the buses very reliable and reasonably priced. I didn't need to, but I know you can get a travel card that allows you to hop on and off various forms of public transport, making it cheaper and more convenient. I really enjoy walking and loved just coming across another gorgeous piece of history or architecture as I explored the neighbourhood.
There are so many great places to eat and drink nearby and I took up quite a few of Leo's great recommendations. If you love being in a city with easy access to local beaches, I would highly recommend staying in his apartment.
