I had a wonderful stay in Silvia's apartment. It is perfectly located in the downtown, very clean and very cozy. The doggy which name is Max is really funny and sweet. I spot him eating his bed when I was talking to Silvia one evening. She is very nice and she will provide you map and a guide for the city. And here a little of advertisement from me - most of the people do not know the Aquariaum, you should definitely visit it, L'Oceanografic, the Hemisferic where u can watch scientific movie and Museu de Las Ciencias Principe Felipe which is the museum of science, all those are architect buildings of Santiago Calatrava and must be visited located out of the downtown, 30 to 40 min walk from Silvia's house without too much rush. They can take you the whole day and there is a Careffour next to the aquarium which is the 4th place aquarium of the largest in the world and 1st in Europe. The house, host and location are really worthy. I recommend Silvia, very nice woman.
