Jamie was a fantastic host and we loved the apartment. Valencia was a lovely city and the area was just perfect for seeing the best of it.
The apartment is only a few streets away form the Mercado Central (a must for every visit to Valencia) Plaza De La Virgen, La Lonja, etc. There are a huge variety of restaurants and bars within walking distance. The nearest Metro station Xativa is less than 5 minutes walk (which links to the beach and the airport) as are the post office, town hall and the tourist office (where the staff were extremely helpful).
The main shopping area, with no less than 3 separate El Corte Ingles stores a few minutes walk from each other you could shop till you dropped with only a short stroll back to the apartment when your feet needed a break! (stopping off for a coffee, Tinto Verano or an ice cream on the way of course!
To be honest we stayed in the apartment for 6 nights and could have spent every day in this area just exploring as there was so much to see and do.
The local tourist bus leaves from the Plaza at the end of street which will give you a comprehensive tour of the city. There are plenty local buses and taxes.
Jamie give us many hints and tips on best restaurants etc which were very helpful to us as this was our first visit to the city. We will certainly use the apartment again should we return to this beautiful city. My one big tip to anyone visiting Valencia for the first time would be: - don't forget to look up as you walk around - the architecture is amazing and a lot of the best bits are above ground level.
