The apartment is located in El Carmen, an interesting and fun area of the old city. Once you learn a little about the location, you will find it very handy. There is a small bike rental shop less than 1 block away and it is easy to bike to the trail that leads you to the City of Arts and Sciences and even to the port and beach. Many good restaurants are in the area and a lovely Mercado just 1 block away. There is a good shower with plenty of hot water, kettle, toaster, microwave, stove, and washing machine. Be prepared for possible loud street noise at night as people in Valencia are out on the streets until late. Just part of the lively and fun culture.
