I booked this place from 15th until 19th of February (even though I just slept there for 3 nights). Pastor and his wife were very welcoming. Room and actually whole apartment was very tidy and clean which is very important for me, bathroom especially. Building is new, quit neighbourhood.
Previously I was staying at the friends house for 6 days in Valencia, so didn't need any recommendation, and because of that I would say- for night life and access to the beach this area was far for me, but nothing that is unmanageable. Metro is very close so that is a plus, if you are coming /going from/to airport or to the centre. The only thing that I "didn't like" is that my room didn't have window (only the one that is looking to the kitchen), that was strange for me. But as I was only coming there to take a shower, change and sleep for few hours I really didn't mind.
Anyway you should enjoy in Valencia as much as it possible, but if you spend more time in apartment housts are kind and friendly!
