Zones in Valencia?

Question

I'm looking to relocate to Valencia from Madrid. Can anyone suggest some good zones/barrios to look for an apartment in? Would like to be somewhere central, but not near the ghetto by the sea.

Thanks

I live near Mestalla - the stadium at the intersection between Blasco Ibanez and Avienda Suecia.  This is a pretty cool student area with a lot of groovy pubs, it's not too down at heel and it's only twenty minutes walk into town.  Also it's got direct public transport to the beach and is on the 2 and 5 metro lines.  Highly recommended.
