Last week we had a wonderful time in Valencia and enjoyed staying at Victor's penthouse. It is located in the heart of el Carmen. Just around the corner there are numerous good restaurants (be sure to have diner at Tarin's and Saona!, we don't recommend restaurant La Reina, right on plaza de la Reina... way to expencive and very poor service! and I think we got ripped off), bars (we had much fun and cocktails at cafe Bolsería, at happy hours one free cocktail and free shots!) nice shops (beware.... you can really shop till you drop!) just within walking distance. From the appartment you can easily walk to plaza de la Virgen, plaza de la Reina and Mercado Central e.g. The penthouse is very comfortable and the terrace with view right at the old city gates is magnificent! Rent bike and ride trough Jardin del Turia to City of Arts and Sciences in about 20 minutes. Valencia is a great combination of history, culture, beautiful architecture, delicious food, very friendly people and very nice weather! We will certainly visit Valencia again very soon. Hopefully Victor's beautiful appartment will be available
