We came in with a lot of expectations about the apartment but sadly we were disappointed in some aspects, not all of which maybe the host's problem.
1. Location: The apartment had a pretty beautiful sea view but the apartment itself is in this mutli-planned apartment building that gave a very Walmart-like feel to our vacation experience. The location even though sea-facing felt very ordinary
2. The bed: The apartment is small and cozy which is okay, but the bedroom was super tiny. Two twin beds had been put together to make the bed, and the mattresses on each twin bed were different. One of my husband or me ended being very uncomfortable on it. The bed is very bad.
3. Cleanliness: The host left us some blankets in the closet but I found some hair on it. This might be a one off thing, but the host could improve the cleanliness of the apartment
4. Empuriabrava: If you're looking to stay in Costa brava and want to stay in a vibrant town, pick begur or Tossa de mar or Girona. Cadaques is beautiful too but too far north. Empuriabrava felt like a retirees town without any vibe to it. While most seaside towns bustle with energy along the seaside restaurants at night, empuriabrava is quiet and lifeless.
The host was very friendly and did everything in her control to make our stay comfortable. She was polite and kind, met us on time to exchange keys and was pleasant.
