Stay was unique with fresh flowers. We enjoyed the neighborhood- did lots of shopping/eating in the neighborhood
We had a delightful three-day stay in this perfectly situated mini apartment, which accurately matched the website description. In particular, we loved the wonderful views up to the Alhambra and Generalife, and the ease of access to the delights of the Albaicín, as well as the historic centre of Granada. Nadia was also very welcoming and helpful upon our arrival. We definitely plan to come back.
This was our favorite place that we stayed, out of the 7 properties that we stayed at during our vacation!
If you come to Granada to see the Alhambra, I can’t imagine a better place to stay. You can see the palace in all its glory from the kitchen, the living room and the rooftop terrace. Spectacular! The house is amazing, snug, well laid out and in a great location. Though small, the kitchen has everything you need to cook; lots of serving dishes are off the living/dining room. Get it: this place is charming. We loved our stay. Nadia is sweet, energetic and a dependable communicator; she made our arrival easy. A few caveats, none of which would cause us to hesitate to stay there again: The walk from Plaza Nueva to the house is quite steep; the staircase from kitchen to the living room has low clearance, so watch your head; there is a Mirador right outside the entrance that can be noisy (late) some nights; the underside of the staircase cuts low above the bathtub, requiring one to be creative with showering (baths are not a problem). If we could stay there again tomorrow, we would. Enjoy!
We met up with Nadia, who guided us from a main street to the quaint neighborhood of narrow streets. She was perfectly timely and instructive about the home, which was clean and homey, with historic charm and an exceptional rooftop view of the Alhambra. There was modest talking noise and a guitarist/singer on the small public terrace behind the apartment, but it wasn’t a noise issue and quieted down after midnight or 1 a.m. (expected for Spanish timetable). The rooms are split on different levels, which worked well for a little more privacy with four adults staying in the home. This was the most inviting home we stayed in during our Spain travels, and we’d recommend it for anyone willing to walk and feel like getting a more local experience. One warning: there was some low ceiling clearance and a unique shape of the shower, which are difficult for people taller than 5’10”. Otherwise, a perfect place.
This was a great location in the Albaicin, within walking distance of everything. The apartment was well-equipped and very charming. Due to the many steps, it is not handicapped friendly. The view of the Alhambra from the rooftop terrace is stunning.
The property is located in the heart of the old town, it has fantastic views of the Alhambra. Nadia was very helpful and friendly. The property is comfortable and has good facilities
We had a terrific time in Granada. The apartment was close to the old city (10 min walk) and to the Alcázares. Despite cool, wet weather, the apartment felt warm and cozy. The view of the Alhambra was spectacular. Argue and Nadia were helpful, especially with Parking options as we drove from Seville. Would definitely stay here again
We absolutely loved our time in this charming cottage! The rooftop patio is wonderful and we felt a part a part of this intriguing neighborhood. Would highly recommend!
I can't speak highly enough of this apartment in Granada. My partner and I stayed for four days in March and I wish we had stayed longer. I selected this apartment specifically for the roof top patio and it did not disappoint. It was cozy and comfortable and the views of the Alhambra and city from the roof top were breathtaking. We enjoyed quite a bit of time up there relaxing, reading, sharing wine, and just taking it all in. The location was perfect for exploring Granada on foot. The apartment was stocked with basics in the kitchen, and we imagined going to the market and cooking, but the dining was so plentiful and enjoyable that we never did. We did make coffee every day and the coffee that Nadia stocks for the home is delicious! We were nervous about meeting someone to take us to the apartment at first because we don't speak Spanish, but everything went perfectly. We called Nadia when reached the meeting location and she arrived within minutes. Nadia went out of her way to help us find a taxi for a very early morning departure. She arranged the taxi driver who came right to our door on foot to take us to his car one street over since the street the apartment is on is not big enough for vehicles. She was absolutely delightful, offered suggestions for the neighborhood, and we felt at ease knowing we had someone so friendly and generous nearby to help us out if we needed it. From the apartment, we enjoyed exploring the winding narrow streets of Albaicin neighborhood, the cathedral, the Alhambra, plentiful wine and tapas. If we return, we will try to rent here again. I highly recommend it.
