This is an excellent base to explore Valencia, particularly if you like to be near the beach. Cabanyal has plenty of character, and a lot of local amenities, particularly the local market. The apartment is pleasant and well appointed and on a quiet street. You have everything you need within walking distance, including Valencia's vast and very clean town beach. Public transport into the city centre is easy, though there is an excellent bike hire place - Santa Marcelita - a short walk away and Valencia is ideal for touring by bike!
