Location, Location, Location. Fantastic apartment in a wonderful city, right in the old town within easy walking / cycling distance of all the sites. Bike is the way to go; you can see all the sites and go to the beach all on an easy cycle. The city is very flat so it's easy to cycle even for non-cyclists like us. There are cycle paths all through the city and the old town is a car free zone ish.
There are two apartments one bigger one to the rear and one overlooking the street, where you can sip your coffee/vino and watch the world go by.
Apartment was spotlessly clean and our host was very helpful. There is a bike store on the ground floor, so you can rent your bike for as long as you wish without fear of it being stolen.
The stairs are probably a bit steep, so not suitable for somebody with reduced mobility.
The old town is a maze of little streets and squares with fantastic architecture and hundreds of bars, shops and restaurant’s.
Turia Park is a wonderful amenity with loads of walking and cycling tracks and the fab city of arts and science.
For football fans a visit to the Mestalla is a must, they lost 2-0 to Atlético Madrid the day I saw them and the fans still sang and chanted their hearts out, wonder what they are like when they win?. It's a wonderful old style stadium where the fans are close to the pitch. North stand is the home end.
This was our first time in Valencia, but it certainly will not be our last and when we return, we would love to stay again in Gloria’s apartment.
