We really enjoyed Karen's apartment for our week in Girona.

It is in a normal residential neighbourhood, not a tourist area, but it is only about 100m from the start of the tourist area, and 2-3 minutes' walk from as many beautiful stone buildings as you could ever want. The playground across the road was great for our 8 year old son, and there was a basketball court and a lovely path by the river (all 50m away).

There is a baker, butcher and other shops within 2-3 minutes walk and the supermarkets are 10 mins walk away.

It is a compact and simple apartment, but it has everything you need, and a lovely balcony to watch the world go by. We would happily stay again.

Karen met us on arrival, gave us some great tips for nearby beaches and activities in Girona. It was great to have some balls to play with, and reusable shopping bags - the place was well set up for travellers.

The wifi was very fast and reliable too - great to have!
