When you arrive at Girona’s train station, the city that greets you bears little resemblance to the picturesque town you see in the pictures, but the closer you get to the apartment, the lovelier things become.
The old town is a magical place, even in January. Girona Cathedral (aka The Great Sept of Baelor) is just around the corner, and the city walls are in easy walking distance.
As other reviews have noted, there is a downside to the proximity to the cathedral: its bells ring every hour, day and night. Some quieter bells ring through the night at less predictable intervals. Cars rumbling along the cobbled streets can also be noisy. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, look elsewhere.
On the other hand, if you want a tastefully finished apartment with history, in the heart of old Girona, this is it.
