The five flights of winding steps are a workout, but it's all worthwhile for a cup of coffee on the balcony in the afternoon sun overlooking Carrer de La Barraca. It's a few minutes pleasant stroll to the beach and marina. Everywhere you turn there are a multitude of patisseries, local restaurants, supermarkets and the Main Mercat with open stalls and really fresh fish, produce and preserved foods, meats abound. Clean, efficient public transportation is just several minutes away, including tram, buses and metro. Jordi is a friendly, open hearted and attentive host, full of tips and interesting cultural information on his historical neighborhood, El Cabanyal, and Valencia as a whole. We stayed 2 weeks and would gladly return. Thank you Jordi!
