I have visited Valencia for 5 days in May with another friend of mine and stayed at Mercedes' place. Her apartment is just lovely , spacious and clean, but the highlight was the large terrace that guaranteed us a laid-back and good spirited start every day, plus an extra tan :). Grocery, supermarket and metro station very conveniently located. Mercedes herself was a surprise: very warm and charming ;). ...and a big "thank you" Mercedes for the free ride to the airport. We really appreciated it!!
