the neighborhood is very touristy which we normally try to avoid but it was great in this instance. Valencia is pretty small so it was easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. Cabs are cheap. And you can walk to most of the main sites in the old city in a couple of minutes. The apartment building itself is being repaired but we were not inconvenienced in any way or heard anything. The apartment is nice. Clean. Water pressure and temp are good. AC works. Everything looked new and worked well. The hosts were responsive and friendly. Definitely recommend.
