The Host
We can vouch for the other reviewers here, Oriol is a warm, generous and kind host with excellent knowledge of the local area including beyond Girona.
As we were travelling by bikes, it was very useful to have his expertise available to us as a well travelled cyclist himself.
Apartment
The bedroom is modest, twin beds, which as a couple maybe isn't ideal for a romantic weekend away but is still in a fantastic location, in the heart of the old town, with beautiful views from the spacious terrace. The kitchen is small but has gas hobs, gas oven, a large fridge with freezer, and all the essentials. The living area is large enough for three or four people with comfy seating and a hi-fi. The bathroom has a bath and shower with some interesting functions that squirt water at you from every angle possible - pretty funky! There is also enough garage space for bicycles which Oriol kindly let us use.
Locality
There is an excellent butchers shop 10mins away, grocery store just beyond it and bakery. Local produce is fantastic; we recommend you try it.
There are several cute looking bars to enjoy good, cheap wine in the old town, generally between 2-3 euros per glass.
It's worth taking a walk along the old walls of the city but start at the end near the tourist information office (15min walk from the apartment) and work your way towards the cathedral and church. You'll end up in some beautiful gardens on the greener side of the city.
Oriol had some great recommendations on place to eat.
