A stylish, spacious and modern apartment in the heart of Girona Old Town. The apartment was very clean, well equipped and comfortable.
As mentioned in another review, the apartment is located on the first floor, up a single flight of steps. Despite the lack of elevator, it was no problem carrying bikes up the stairs. We much appreciated having use of the bicycle track/floor pump. The washing machine and dryer were housed in the utility room, where the supplied clothing airier could be erected.
The small balcony, overlooking the street below, accommodated two people, with compact chairs and a very small table.
The kitchen and living area do not benefit from natural light, which is compensated for by lighting throughout the apartment.
We would have valued air conditioning as our stay coincided with very high temperatures. The windows were located on the street side of the building, which could be noisy during the evening and early morning. Electric fans were provided in both bedrooms and these offered a little relief from the heat, although the fan in the larger bedroom was too loud to be used during the night whilst attempting to sleep. The hot indoor temperatures during August, combined with street noise throughout the night made it challenging to get a good night’s sleep.
With regards to car parking it should be noted that parking in The Old Town is restricted. There are a couple of large, free car parks near the Pont de Pedret, about an 8 minute walk from the accommodation. Despite these being very busy during the day, spaces tended to be available early evening.
A plethora of attractive cafes, restaurants and shops are to be found in the immediate neighbourhood, within a 2 minute walk from the apartment.
Chema and Mery were extremely helpful hosts and any queries we had were responded to promptly.
