This is the BEST place to stay in Valencia if it meets your needs. It is in the Ciutat Vella, or ancient Valencia, but Manuel’s place was modern and spotless, with a wonderful kitchen, AC, clean everywhere including linens, absolutely quiet when the windows were closed in spite of an active area, and close to everything. I walked or took the bus wherever I went. Manuel was one of the best hosts I have encountered in my many stays at Airbnb spots, if not THE BEST! I got sick my second day and he showed up with a bag of healthy fixes for my intestines. He also gave amazing recommendations for spots in the city, as well as walked me through a map to point out places of interest and how to find them. It was a holiday one of the days I was there, unbeknownst to me, and he told me of all the spots where events would happen and how to get there, including which bus to take if necessary. I cannot say enough good things about Manuel as a host or his lovely apartment. And it is on the 3rd European floor, but there is an elevator. After a bad experience in Barcelona, I was thrilled not to have to lug my suitcase up or down.
