Maryel's place is simply perfect, and she is a lovely host. I will definitely stay with Maryel if I ever return to Valencia and highly recommend her to others. Our room literally looked out onto old city center. We were steps away from beautiful cathedrals, museums and architectural attractions, not to mention city market and many wonderful places to eat and drink. Everything in old town was within a 15-20 min walk at most. Even the zoo and the art center were less than an hour leisurely walk and there are bike rentals everywhere and buses and taxis too. Maryel knows her city well and will happily share with you the best Paella restaurant, the most beautiful cathedrals, when things are open, how much they cost, etc... The flat itself is spotlessly maintained, attractive, very functional, very comfortable, and quiet. Maryel is lovely person and a wonderful host. She immediately made us feel comfortable even though we showed up 3 hours late and did not respond to her messages asking if we were ok (phone/internet problem on our side). Do be advised that Maryel does like to keep this level of quiet and comfort in the home for herself and all her guests so if you like to party loudly, this is not the place for you. Also she has 2 sweet and somewhat shy cats who you may never see or hear but if you do they will be fast but not unfriendly :)
