This was a great place in the heart of the wonderful city of Girona. Short walking distance to almost everything we wanted to go to during our weekend visit there. The apartment was fantastic. Small but a very well thought out use of space. We loved sitting out on the balcony listening to the bustling La Rambla below before heading out, or else having a morning coffee / pastry, watching the city wake up.
Arnau was a truly excellent AirBnB host. Super friendly, very informative, quick to respond, and very helpful. Check-in/access was straightforward, and the apt is very easy to find - door directly onto La Rambla, and once inside you’re in your own little haven in the middle of the city. We wouldn’t hesitate recommending him, the apartment, or Girona!
Some practical comments:
There are so many lovely bars, cafes and restaurants nearby, and even through the apt is on La Rambla, the best places to go seem to be on the smaller side streets, and everything is v close by (by which I mean between 1-5 minutes, for nearly everything we could have needed!). As well as the above, there are also very convenient (and wonderful) bakeries, Spar, the tourist office, and great places for photos.
Walking to the cathedral is about 500m north, through wonderful old streets. Walking about 500m south you can get to the steps at the southern end of the old city walls, and starting the 30-40min walk along the walls from this end means you finish with lovely views over the cathedral / basilica etc.
The bed in the apt was very comfortable, and the pillows were good, not too soft and not too firm. The shower was excellent, walk-in/frosted-sliding-door/wet-room style, with very good water pressure, and dual shower heads (one fixed, one movable). There were plenty of sockets for charging things (all standard Spanish two-pin sockets). We were on the second floor up but, unusually for such an old building, there was an elevator, which was really useful when moving luggage.
Finally, we didn’t have any issue with noise outside at all, and rather found it a lovely bustling background sound indicative of a wonderful city and community, which fades significantly later in the evening to a gentle hum. There’s no loud music / clubs or anything like that. Also, the doors and windows seem to block sound out quite well too.
Overall, super place to stay. Have an amazing time!
