Our first trip to Girona for a friend’s birthday and to explore the city was made even more perfect courtesy of Erica’s apartment.
Situated in the quiet and historic old town, the apartment is light and airy, a studio but spacious and with everything you need to make you feel at home; from a ‘fridge and oven, to utensils and a Nespresso machine; a comfortable bed and sofa, to subtle lighting and pretty photographs of the street in years gone by.
The apartment is quiet, with just the bustle of the street below, church bells chiming the hours and the occasional whoosh of the nearby railway line. You feel like a resident, rather than a tourist and we loved feeling part of the neighbourhood.
Everywhere you might want to see in Girona is within easy walkable distance from the apartment. And if you want to stay in, there is a bakery on one corner, a pizza place on the other and a tasty ice-cream place only five minutes away. There’s also a famous cocktail place two minutes up the road and a jazz bar just around the corner. We didn’t want to leave at the end of our stay!
Erica was so kind, giving us recommendations for places to see and making our entire stay pleasant, she was a very welcoming host and her apartment is perfect. We would love to go back.
