Super stay in Francisco's apartment for a complete week. We could get a private cab thanks to him on arrival for a decent price : this made our trip much easier with our 3 yr old boy (also available when we left). The location is great, 10 min walk to the beach, its restaurants, bars and children playgrounds (go to la Fabrica de Hielo!). Also quite close (20 min) to « Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias ». El cabanal area is fantastic and really quiet compared to the city center. The local market just in front of the place is really nice : good provider for fruits, meat, fish and cheese ! A supermarket (mercadona) just 30 m from the place but it was closed for works in May …
Francisco provides a complete book with local tips. We were welcomed by a frend of him Rik who showed us around and marked up a map with some local information also (direct bus to city center, etc.)
The apartment was super bright, clean and beds are very confy. Bathroom is nice but quite small for 3-4 people…
Overall communication was smooth. Would recommend it to all my friends passing by Valencia for sure.
