There's nothing much to say other than 'AMAZING'.

The city is amazing — probably the best possible location in Catalonia to explore the coast or the Pyrenees mountains. Everything (Begur / SaRiera — really nice beach, Qadaques + Figueres + Besalu — picturesque towns) is only 40 minutes away by car or bus and Barcelona is 30 minutes away by train. Girona also has a very good combination of urban life (up-scale Michelin starred restaurants, shops, museums and galleries + evening vibe) and relaxed laid-back attitude usually found in a smaller historical town. We loved the fact that the restaurants were open very late and the vibe lasted until after 12:30 in the night.

Jaume's place is perfectly situated, right in the historical heart of Girona and I mean that LITERALLY, no cutting corners there. On the same street you have amazing restaurants (we had a lovely romantic dinner at Vintage — across the road) and shops plus a Spar supermarket (with supermarket prices) that could successfully compete with any 'deli' or specialized wine shop in central London — just 2 minutes away. We had a car and there's a free parking minutes away — a rare commodity in this city — on the road to the university (http://terra.girona.cat/vu/mobilitat/map.htm).

The apartment looks even better and more spacious than the photos and is kept in top shape. We made use of the well equipped kitchen and had all our meals on the terrace. It felt pretty amazing to be the envy of the passers-by as we drank our wine and enjoyed great food on the best available table on the street. There was nothing 'missing' from the apartment: TV, very good wi-fi, nice handmade soaps and olive oils, hair-dryer, washing machine, wine glasses... just like a home.

Jaume is a lovely host, he gave us some spot-on hints about the restaurants, beaches and sights and made sure we had everything we might need.

All in all, after reading 'amazing' at least 4 times in the last paragraphs, if you haven't already booked the place, just take another look at the price, you simply can't beat that.
