Communications with Emilio were perfect - our flight was delayed 5 hours and we arrived after midnight and his neighbour was kind enough to stay up with the keys.
The apartment had everything - 2 balconies, 2 toilets with an adjoining shower cubicle, ironing board, dishwasher etc. Really well located and €20 in cab from airport.
The Russafa area is a residential area with lots of restaurants and cafes - it also has its own Mercado. The value and quality of food & service in this area is far superior to the old town and tourist traps.
L’Alquimista - round the corner - superb fresh pasta and wonderful team, very small so booking vital.
Urban Jardin - vegan restaurant a few doors down was excellent.
La Finestra - lovely cheap little pizza place also very busy.
Canalla Bistro - a bit fancier for a treat.
Friendly Coffee & Food - good set meal for 9€.
Emilio’s apartment is also close to the museums, the Turia and bicycle rental places... the world is your oyster from here.
Highly recommended.
