My husband and I had a great stay at Joan’s place in Girona! We usually book entire apartment Airbnb’s when we travel, but Joan had such good reviews, and was in the middle of all the things we wanted to see, we couldn’t pass it up.
Joan was a great host, and even rearranged his work schedule to come check us in. We visited in September, and the weather was very pleasant, so we did not mind the lack of AC. We drove a rental car to Girona, and parked in a free lot on the other side of the river, a 5-10min walk from the apartment.
Everything was clean, he provided some coffee and tea in the morning, and his local tips for restaurants were great. As is expected in Spain, people stay up late, and come to take pictures in the square well into the evening. The bells in the cathedral start chiming early though, so if you don’t want to go “mad queen” with the bells in the morning, earplugs are a wise choice! =)
