Carole's apartment is hands down gorgeous! In exactly the right spot in Cadaques. Beautiful inside, with two full bedrooms (one totally private, one with a sliding door in the living room) and a vaulted loft area to sleep. View is INSANE, deck is large, perfect to sit with a coffee and watch the view! And I agree with prior reviewers comments: even at full steam, the noise from the beach isn't bothersome (and the doors are essentially soundproof). Kitchen is well-stocked save for a freezer (thanks for the Nespresso!). Clean, comfy, also a giant couch to lounge on.
Carole is a super sweet host, let me check in a few hours early (a blessing after a redeye!).
For those worried about stairs: there are exactly 60 up to the top. It's like 3 large NYC flights. You'll be fine :)
The only thing that could have been better was communication responsiveness! I had to email 2x after booking / before checking in to get a reply (frustrating when coordinating travel). While in the apartment, I had to text 3 times and email across 2 days before a question was answered.
