Jo's place is very well located in a great, vibrant yet calm neighborhood. It is a walking distance to the center and there is everything you need around the apartment including restaurants and a beautiful local market. The apartment corresponds to the photo. We were there with a baby. It is one of the rare apartments with a baby bed and that's wonderful! (especially if you travel by place). We were there in the winter and it was a bit challenging to adapt the temperature/ventilation. Maria was very responsive and caring. Valence is a great city. We had a wonderful time.
