What a gorgeously decorated, perfectly located little Airbnb! I love that I could see the sea from the window and could be swimming in the sea within 10 minutes of leaving the apartment. The patio was very nice and I loved letting the cross breeze through with open windows. Remarkably, that high up with some warm days, it stayed quite cool the entire time. It is a lot of stairs to climb - but with the view and dual patio, worth it!
Cabanyal is an up and coming neighborhood- I enjoyed eating at some delicious, local spots all within 5 minutes of my stay. The recommendations from Steffen and Maite were great! To go into the historic downtown, plan to take public transport or use Cabify- or rent a bike- as it is a bit of a hike. Personally, I preferred being outside of the center and closer to the beach and was not bothered by the ride in.
Enjoy Valencia!
