We only stayed at Carlos' apartment for 15 minutes (before checking in to a nearby hotel). We let ourselves in by using keys left in a safe by the main entrance - so we never met him. This was a birthday weekend for my fiance but I am afraid we found the photos misleading and other information too. This very small apartment is up three flights of narrow, dark stairs (the lights per floor cut off in the middle of a flight) - and the bedroom area is like a 60's bedsit. It's fine if you're coming to party and want somewhere to put your head down - and the kitchen area and bathroom were also absolutely fine. We didn't really like the area the apartment was in and generally didn't feel comfortable or get a good feeling. This is the very first time I have had to leave a negative review - and we use this site a lot. I just don't want any other travellers to feel as disappointed as we did if you are expecting a little bit more - the 3*** hotel we ended up in with perfect WIFI and breakfast included wasn't that much more - it's off-season after all. I must reiterate, this would be absolutely fine if you were students, travelling on a shoestring or looking for a place to sleep for a night or two but that wasn't our agenda I am afraid. However Roses and nearby Cadaques are stunning so do visit!
