Ill start by saying that i had a rental car so being up on the hill wasn't an issue for me as some other reviewers have mentioned. There is street parking just 2-3 min walk and i always managed to find a parking space.
I stayed in the apartment for 6 days while i was training/cycling in the area. the apartment was perfect for me! the air conditioning worked a treat and i was able to get the apartment nice and cool at night which helps me sleep. The double glazed glass door combined with the large metal sliding door kept out all outside noise, even one evening when there was an outdoor concert in the park just around the corner...i didn't here a thing. I'm a light sleeper so being able to get the apartment dark and cool at night really helped me sleep better.
the apartment is fairly close to the old town. it took me 10-12 minutes to drive down, park the car and walk into the centre of the old town. It was even faster to ride there as its downhill the whole way.
Im looking forward to staying here again on my next trip to Girona.
