We think Josep is a fantastic host - you couldn't ask for better. He stayed awake past midnight to wait for our late arrival and had tea and coffee waiting for us. His home adjoins the apartment so he is easy to contact if you need him. When we arrived Josep had already been to the tourist information center and gave is plenty of ideas and maps to help us find our way around.
It's only when you arrive that you realise just how understated Josep's apartment is - the pictures don't do it justice - he should upload more.
The kitchen is a good size and well equipped for a weeks stay (fridge-freezer electric hob and micro-wave) but best of all is the outside space with its table and chairs and covered veranda to keep out of the sun and the views across the bay are magnificent. You are definitely getting more than you are paying for here.
There is a big double bedroom (with views) which has plenty of wardrobe space and a large bathroom with shower and bath.
If the lounge had a sofa bed it could easily sleep 4 people.
The apartment is less than 10 minutes walk to the beach and town center where you will find a daily fruit and veg market and a wealth of different restaurants bars and shops. Most of the restaurants close for a few hours in the late afternoon but re-open after 7/8pm. And there are so many to choose from.
If you get bored of Blanes there are a dozen or so smaller secluded coves within easy walking distance - Cala Bona and St Christina where our favorites. There is also the small train that drives you past the 3 botanical gardens each a short stroll to secluded beaches. and for a small price you can hop on any of the taxi-boats that go up and down the beaches.
Getting around is easy, there is a train station with a free car park (we had a hire-car but I imagine it would take 30-45 minutes to walk) that links to Barcelona and all the beach towns in-between. Josep's apartment is just 35 minutes drive from Girona Airport - if you can we recommend spending some time in Girona, the old quarter is amazing.
If Josep's apartment is available next year it will be on the top of my list.
Thank you Josep.
