perfectly on the bus route to the beach, and about 30 mins walk into the main town, the apartment is just right for exploring Valencia. it's on the 8th floor but there is a lift so no need to worry about all the stairs - it just means there is a lovely rooftop view from the window. although I didn't actually see Maria, her communication was brilliant, using translation to help us both!
Maria is knowledgeable about the area and happy to offer suggestions too. if you're not staying long, I'd recommend going on the free walking tour from Plaza de la Virgen to get an overview of the area and nuggets of information you'd otherwise miss.
I'll definitely need to come back!
