Mateu's place is excellent and we highly recommend it for a couple or a family. My family (me, my wife, 2 teenage kids, 11 and 15) stayed here for 3 nights and loved it. Girona itself is really lovely and the apartment location is perfect, near the Cathedral in the historic Jewish quarter providing easy access to many shops, cafes and historic venues.

The apartment is very clean and well appointed, with air conditioning, good wifi, nice kitchen (with well maintained cutlery, pots, pans, plates, water and wine glasses, basic spices, and a dishwasher), two nice bathrooms with rain showers, a clothes washing machine, lovely balcony. Further, the apartment is decorated very pleasantly in an retro/avant-garde style. It has a small office with a desk if, like me, you can't quite get away from work completely on your vacation!

Mateu is a very good host, asking us ahead of time for our arrival info and meeting us to help us settle in. He responded quickly (in person) once when we had trouble turning on the air conditioning. His description of the place was very accurate and the photos reveal the place quite well.

The apartment does have a faint smell of cigarettes. We are not smokers and so we noticed, but it wasn't a problem for us. We spent time hanging out in the apartment in the mornings and evenings and found it very pleasant to be there, given all the others strengths of the place. However, if your are highly sensitive to cigarette smoke, it might be a consideration for you.
