Luca's apartment is the perfect place to explore & experience Valencia from. It's well-equipped (fast WiFi, kitchen + coffee + tea supplies, washing machine, A/C) located in charming Ruzafa, on one of the many lively and inviting squares - bars, restaurants, cafés, and everything in between lining the streets.
Despite the liveliness and activity, noise was never really an issue for us at all. The city centre, old town, and central market can all easily be reached on foot from the apartment as well (if you manage to make your way out of Ruzafa despite the overwhelming offer of great food, drinks, and charming, colorful buildings!).
Finally, Luca is an amazingly kind, communicative, and reliable host.
