A lovely and bright recently renovated casita/flat in the typical style of the beautiful Cabanyal district of Valencia. The flat comprises a main bedroom with double bed and small balcony, a mezzanine second bedroom space with two single beds (accessible via a retractable ladder), kitchen diner space, a living room with a sofa bed, and bathroom with a shower. Please note that the retractable ladder is not suitable for young children or elderly people as it is steep and quite high. This first floor flat has plenty of light with windows on all sides. Situated in a quiet part of El Cabanyal, it's a short walk to the beautiful nearby beaches and close to lots of great bars and restaurants. The flat particularly suits couples but can accommodate up to four guests.

My name is Paul Brindley and I recently bought this property from the wonderful ex-host Raul Villanueva Castillo who carried out the beautiful renovation just a couple of years ago. While I live in London with my wife and child the property is managed by my good friends Wenyue and Peter who live just around the corner in the Cabanyal. So there will always be someone on hand to deal with any pressing issues.

The Cabanyal is very much a local feature of Valencia and was originally the neighbourhood for the local fisherman. Known for its tiled houses and proximity to Valencia's wonderful beaches, the area was recently rated by The Guardian as one of the coolest neighbourhoods in Europe. There are plenty of excellent restaurants within easy walking distance of the flat. Indeed whenever my wife and I go there we very rarely travel into Valencia to eat. Casa Montana and Bodega Anyora are two of the best ones but do book ahead as they can get very busy. It's an excellent place to stay during Fallas, the world-renowned festival of Valencia which normally takes place in the first two weeks of March. And it is particularly good for the Semana Santa Marinera parades which pass by the flat itself during Easter week and are a real spectacle.
