Fantastic little apartment:
Perfect location- parallel to gran via on a comparatively quiet street.
…But if you need a quiet spot this isn’t it! I grew up in a very noisy part of London, and it was fine for me. Light sleepers beware! Cars, late night revellers… We were awoken at least a couple of times a night, but went straight back to sleep. If you sleep well this won’t be a problem.
The decor of the apartment is fantastically well thought out and tastefully done, photos are accurate, I’d even suggest that the apartment is bigger than in looks in the photos.
Temperature: It is a cool basement apartment. We were there in 30 degrees daytime, 22 degrees (max) at night, and with the extractors and additional fans on (supplied) it was perfect. The ‘aircon’ isn’t temperature selective- ‘on’ or ‘off’. More of an extractor, as the apartment can get a little humid after showers and especially after we hung out washing too. The fans are VERY effective.
The lack of natural light could be a problem for some. The only light comes in through opaque widows on a shady street and never see direct sunlight, but the owners have put in very bright artificial lighting inside. We had no issue with it as we’re out all day in daylight hours anyway! But it might get a bit much if you had to stay in for whatever reason.
Rooms are spacious. All have everything you’d expect. We absolutely would return.
Make sure you have internet on your phone/device when landing. Access to keys is not possible without it. You could also call the owners who were VERY helpful throughout, messaging with updates, and even tourism tips.
