This place is fantastic! What a gem. Situated just on the edge of Russafa, it is on a busy road but do not let that deter you; noise is not an issue at night as it is very quiet on the 3rd floor. You can walk to the beach, but this is lengthy (45-60 mins) so the bus is better, but this is really easy to catch and cheap (1.50 eur per trip). Russafa is an area which is surprisingly sleepy on the weekends, but comes alive during the week. The centre of Valencia is easily accessible, with a 20-30 min walk taking you right to the heart. Me and my girlfriend found Julio's apartment comfortable, airy and perfect for our stay. It was spotless on arrival, and we were greeted with cava and snacks. Despite Julio being away, and English not being his first language, he was incredibly helpful and made arrangements for someone else to greet us and ensure we had everything we needed. Thank you to Julio (and to Valencia!) for an amazing week! Would recommend this apartment to anyone wishing to immerse themselves in Valencian culture properly!
