We had a wonderful stay at the appartment of Nicolas. The appartment was clean and beautifully styled and the location was close to perfect. El Cabanyal is a really nice neighbourhood if you want to experience Valencia through the eyes of the locals. There are many great bars and restaurants (even on crawling distance) and the beach is on a 6 minute walk. I've been in Valencia two times before but I think this was my favourite stay so far because pretty much everything we needed was on a walking distance and there weren't too many tourists. The city centre is a little far but we ordered a Cabify taxi to get by, which worked great because it's fast and not too expensive. I also want to give a shoutout to the host Nicolas for being so kind to us and helpful during our stay. He lives next to the appartment so he was always willing to help us out and also had some great recommendations that we throughly enjoyed.
