We were looking for an apartment with personality that would be a comfortable base to explore Valencia for ten days, and that is exactly what we got. Maite's place may not have all the luxuries of a five star hotel ( no tv, no elevator, no airconditioning), but it felt like home, and that is more important. The location is very convenient: metro to the city centre and airport, tram to the beach, cash machine, a good bookstore all within 500 metres. The terrace was of course wonderful. We had a bit of bad luck with the weather, because it was do hot even the Valencians, complained, but the place remained liveable. Benimaclet is a wonderful, lively neighborhood close to everything, but not crowded by tourists. We will gladly come back!
