Laure's place was wonderful. The location was perfect to walk to anywhere of interest in the old town, and also being very close to the River park, we were able to hop on a hire bike to go to the beach and ride to the City of Arts and Science and beach. Despite it's central location, the apartment is on a back street off the main thoroughfare, so not a lot of foot traffic. However, don't be surprised by a little noise, it's still a shared building in a city centre after all.
The place was very clean and well appointed, and we were provided with some useful provisions to get us started. Laura's recommendations of restaurants were very well received, though I would add the vegan burger place, Khambu, just at the end of the street!
Laura's friend Rik kindly arranged a taxi from the airport, which was particularly helpful as we were visiting a new city and only know some basic Spanish vocabulary.
We were well looked after on our trip, and were very comfortable. Thanks Laura and Rik!
