We stayed at Darren and Yuki’s apartment for six weeks with our 12 month old baby. Overall, we had a mixed experience. Pros: - Location: The apartment is in a residential area out of the main tourist zone, which is nice if you want to get a sense of “real” Girona. There is a lovely park/woodland behind with beautiful trails and streams. It’s about a 20 minute walk into Barri Vell, 10 minutes to the station, and and the bus connections into town are good. A range of supermarkets (Lidl, Aldi, Mercadona) nearby, plus Caprabo right next to the building. - The view: The view from the flat is gorgeous. We enjoyed many beautiful sunsets over the mountains. - The terrace: The terrace (separate from the apartment up a flight of stairs) is lovely, however we were unable to use it during our stay as there were many wasps flying around. This also prevented us from keeping doors and windows open during our stay. - The flat: the flat is nice and the main bedroom is a good size. Cons: - Communication: Yuki’s communication was good, Darren’s was confusing and seemed rude. The night before we arrived, Darren emailed us to say the toaster, coffee machine and air conditioner were all broken- without apology or explanation. He ordered us in all caps "DO NOT use the air conditioner", even though we had seen Yuki a couple of days earlier to get the keys and she had said we could. We had to press the hosts to get the air conditioner fixed (although it turned out it wasn’t actually broken, the previous renter hadn’t emptied the bucket and water had backed up through the unit) and get a new toaster. The coffee machine wasn’t replaced. There is no local contact and the hosts are in the UK, so we had to purchase the new toaster (reimbursed) and deal with the air con guy ourselves. -Cleanliness: The flat was tidy but quite dusty/dirty. Our daughter crawled along the floor when we first arrived and her knees were dark from the dust. -Maintenance: the flat generally needs maintenance everywhere. The air conditioning repairman swore when he saw how dirty the unit was and said he guessed it had never been cleaned. Many of the appliances are on their last legs (such as the dishwasher) or don't work at all (the vacuum cleaner). Other things are fixed with duct tape. - Storage: We struggled for storage space as two adults and a child, as two of the bedrooms only have hanging racks and the only large wardrobe in the apartment is mostly full of towels and personal items. There are generally lots of personal items left around the apartment. - Temperature: This was mostly resolved when the air conditioner was fixed but it’s worth mentioning the flat gets very hot during the afternoons as it is in direct sunlight. We needed to pull the shutters down in the main bedroom and living room on...
