My friend and I visited Blanes for a quick weekend vacation, and we loved staying at Maria's place! The apartment was even better than the photos, and Maria was extra accommodating. She met us at the bus station, we had great conversation, and she gave us good recommendations for tapas/drinks in the area. The apartment is across the street from many shops where you can buy beach items if you need (sunscreen, towels, souvenirs, etc.), and it is just a few-minutes walk to the pebble beaches of La Costa Brava. I would return to this place again!
