So local guy from Valencia going back for a surprise party and stayed here. Russafa is one of the best locations to stay in the city as it is a vibrant neighbourhood woth plenty of bars, shops and life in general. It is within walking distance (like 10 minutes) from the city centre and from there you can move anywhere using public transport.
The place itself is a lovely wee apartment in the top floor of a refurbished building. As a note, there’s no lift in the building so be prepared to climb 3 floors of stairs. Other than that the apartment is in great shape although know that there’s no kitchen if you plan to cook. The other amenities in the apartment are great and there’s brochures woth useful information about the city.
We did not see the hosts but they were very communicative using whatsapp, no problem on that end although I really didn’t need to talk much to them.
All in all this is a very good value for what you pay, you’re close to the city centre, plenty of options to move around the city, a lot of bars and restaurants in the area, etc. Enjoy the city!
