Manuel was a very patient host. I did not have service while I was on the train going to Valencia and he patiently waited for 2 hours for me! His place was perfect. Central to all of Valencia's hot spots: Central Market, the parks, bars and restaurants and the Cathedral. We walked everywhere. Manuel's place is clean and well furnished. It was nice to have a washer. The TV was preset to English channels. We did not watch much but I thought that was a nice touch. He even gave us a bottle of wine to start off our trip. Very generous. The balcony overlooks a street. Great for people watching. Very comfy bed and couch. The bathroom was clean and has plenty of hot water. Great host!
