Host: The host, Gjib was kind and gracious. He was there to meet us ok arrival. He showed us the details and gave is a few restaurant recs
The apt:
A) it is up 2 flights of stairs.
B) it is part of an apartment complex that is closest to the sea. Views are spectacular.
C) the patio is amazing and probably the strongest part of the place
D) the bathrooms have difficult ventilation and a little bit of a moldy smell
E) kitchen is well-stocked and easy to use.
The location: Roses has a busy commercial district (south of the apt) and a large RV/camper population, Go karts track and a water park. There are lots of boating excursions that leave from the harbor as well. It is not an overly affluent town. The building complex that are adjacent to the apartment are large and filled with families so hearing them a bit and smelling their cooking is the norm. We had no issues at any time and always felt safe. There is a path that takes you directly into a smaller commercial section of Roses (north of the apt, near the smaller beach) and our kids played all over the rocks immediately in front of and adjacent to the apt. You will need a car. We drove to Cadaques and some nearby beaches as well as to Girona and Figueres.
Overall, the apartment was exactly as described and our host was great.
