we stayed at Helga´s place 2 weeks. The place is just 100metres from the Pinedo beach. You can walk along the beach for hours if you wish. The place was very clean, well taken care of and well fitted with everything you need in an apartment. The roof terrace is very spacious and fitted with table chairs and sunbeds. The area is quiet and not busy. If you wish to go to the city you can rent from Helga the 2 bycicles and it will take you approx 20 mins to get to either the port area of Valencia or to the city centre. Otherwise you can walk 10mins to the closest bus stop. She picked us up and took back to the airport for a small fee. She also drove us to a big supermarket to buy groceries. Anyway you can find all the basic stuff also in a small supermarket in Pinedo (10 mins walk from the apartment) together with a Pharmacy and a bakery. She helped also with the registration of a spanish telephone card for which you need a passport which I did not have. Thanks Helga.
