Maria's place is a home away from home in one of Valencia's most authentic neighborhoods. The apartment is clean, comfortable, homey, with a new, full kitchen and a wonderful private terrace for daytime lounging in the sun or dinner al fresco in the evenings. The El Cabanyal neighborhood is chock full of cafes serving terrific coffee and snacks, local tapas and beer spots, as well as a Michelin Guide 150-year-old tavern-style restaurant serving the finest Valencian delicacies. The city's most popular beach is just a 10-minute walk away. Turn right when you exit the building and just keep walking straight until you hit sand.
And Maira is everything you want in a host. Kind, helpful, punctual, communicative and available.
We will be back in Valencia soon and on a regular basis. And we will only be staying elsewhere if and when Maira's place isn't available.
