There were a lot of things we liked about the apartment; fantastic location very close to the cathedral, the Central Market, main pedestrian and shopping areas, as well as the Turia riverbed park. It was also very quiet at night -- which is not the case for all places in Valencia! A lot of the basic things were in the apartment. More importantly, our hosts provided us with an excellent written guide of restaurants and fun things to do in Valencia, and even told us about an upcoming festival which we really enjoyed.
