Ivan and his apartment were fantastic! Both his warm hospitality and the comfortable apartment contributed to our opinion of Valencia being our favorite city to visit in Spain thus far. Ivan was there to welcome us and show us everything we needed to know about the apartment. He also sent us a long list of restaurant recommendations for both lunch and dinner, which turned out to be some of our favorite dishes in Spain as well. The apartment was in the perfect location, a less-then 10 minute walk to Valencia's beautiful city park (one of the biggest in Europe) and located in the old city center which offers great nightlife, food, music, quiet cafés, and historical sightseeing. We only rented bikes once and it was to get to the beach because it's a bit of a walk, but a beautiful bike ride through the park. The apartment also has an open terrace overlooking the neighborhood which is great for a bottle of wine at night or cup of coffee in the morning. This apartment exceeded our expectations, and we will be booking a stay here the next time we're in Valencia!
