We dealt exclusively with Rafa and he was the perfect host. Responded to all our queries promptly and accommodated all our requests while staying there. Loved the location - on the edge of the old town but walking distance to everything we wanted to see - 15 minutes to the Central Market. Valencia is beautiful, even during the winter months. Taxis were readily available just down the street for those longer trips but never spent more than 9 euros, except for traveling from and back to the airport - make sure you get a price up front. We were charged 30 euros when we arrived in Valencia and 17 euros when we departed. There are many additional charges like number of bags, late night and airport fees, but something tells me the first driver saw us coming :). Over 65 museums and attractions in Valencia so lots to do. Back to the apartment, would have liked a washing machine and a larger bathroom but made it work. Would recommend Myriam and Rafa's apartment - great hosts.
