While we didn't get to meet Maria in person, she ensured we were met at the apartment by her friend who showed us around. Maria was very quick and helpful with her responses and information. Her apartment is spacious (bigger than it appears in the photos!), well equipped and very clean. It's on the second floor, very easily accessed via three short flights of stairs. We loved it's location - 10 minute walk to the beach and bus and tram stops around the corner. There is plenty of free street parking in the area around the apartment. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Valencia.
