We had a fantastic time in Valencia and absolutely loved the neighborhood of El Cabanyal and Rafe & Marian’s place. First, the place was bright, airy, cool, comfortable Ad nicely designed. Our hosts were incredibly thoughtful providing an array of groceries and drinks for our stay. They really thought of everything including chairs, umbrella, towels and blow-up floats for the beach. They also provided great recommendations for nearby restaurants (and there are multiple great ones) as well as recommendations on restaurants and things to do in Valencia and nearby. The Metro into the city center is close (within a 10 min walk) and the trip is less than a 10 min ride. There is also the most amazing park about a mile away with walking, biking and running paths amidst incredible greenery that runs 6 miles long along the distance of the old river under historic bridges all the way into the city. We are so happy we discovered Rafe’s and Marian’s place and highly recommended it to others.
