This was the perfect apartment to explore the city with easy access to the sights, parks, grocery, transit etc. We enjoyed the old town, the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, wonderful restaurants and took a taxi to the beach twice. There were always taxis available in the plaza del Alfons el Magnanimo just down the block.
The apartment is very cute, clean and well equipped. The rooftop terrace is a wonderful oasis for relaxing/eating/drinking. The two spacious bedrooms and individual bathrooms were on the second level, separated from the living room, kitchen, dining area and entry. Having the sleeping spaces on a separate floor from the rest was a benefit for siestas but the spiral staircases might be difficult for the very old or very young (our 4 yr old was fine but our 1.5 yr old, who did not come, would have needed monitoring)
Rafa and Marien were excellent hosts making us feel very comfortable and providing recommendations for us during our stay. Their young daughter even put together a little welcome package of balloons, toys for our daughter to borrow and a handwritten note. The adults were also provided with a welcome gift in the form of a generous spread of snacks, wine, a fridge stocked with basics like juice/milk/water.
I want to stay here again the next time I'm in Valencia.
