Wonderful house with lots of character

We loved this house from the views from the terraces to the cool interior on a hot day to walking the ancient streets of the Albayzin neighborhood. It was perfect. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen.

5 nights in Granada

This was a really interesting and fun place to stay in Granada! Our family of four was very comfortable and had wonderful time exploring the city and hiking outside of the city. Lots of great food and action close by, but very quiet at night for sleeping. Great views from the upstairs balcony. Would definitely want to stay here again if back in Granada and would recommend to anyone.

Perfect place in the old city

Just the best experience, we were a family of 4 with small kids and a family of 2 with a teenager - all had the best time. We walked everywhere and in the late afternoon had sun on the deck. Sarah was an amazing host who greated us and gave good advice. I would recommend this stay to a family or friends.

Just Amazing

For our family, staying here was special because you got the feeling that you were living in centuries and centuries of history. From the charming, clean, well-kept, and cozy home to the spectacular view of the Alhambra and Albaicin neighborhood and narrow cobblestone roads, it's pretty amazing. The Albaicin is fun to get lost in (unless you have time-specific tickets to visit the Alhambra) and full of interesting shops and eateries. It's a wonderful home in a fascinating city and I would certainly recommend staying there.

A delightful house in a wonderful location

While our stay here was only 4 nights, I will remember the charms of this house for a very long time. The location Albaycin area was ideal for us. The local residents were friendly, offering greetings as we passed by. After a few days the street layout made sense for us. Our host was helpful and she scheduled a taxi for us on the morning of our departure.

Beautiful setting and loads of space

The property is exactly as pictured. The views from the patios are amazing. So much space for the four of us. We stayed in July and the rooms were quite comfortable in temperature. The cave is a great place to nap during the day. Nice to have a washer handy. Sarah was so responsive and accommodating. Would definitely recommend.

Sfeervol huis op perfecte locatie in Granada

Als je goed ter been bent, is dit een heerlijk huisje met alle noodzakelijke voorzieningen én maar liefst 2 terrasjes met uitzicht op de stad en het Alhambra. Het huisje is wat ons betreft authentiek en heel sfeervol ingericht met leuke details. Diverse bakkertjes, barretjes en restaurantjes dichtbij en veel bezienswaardigheden zijn op loopafstand bereikbaar. Eventueel kun je in de buurt ook de bus pakken. Ook zit je op korte loopafstand van uitzichtpunt San Miguel Alto, fantastisch om de zonsondergang van Granada te bewonderen! Heb je een auto tot je beschikking dan zit je zo in de Sierra Nevada voor prachtige bergwandelingen. Kortom: wat ons betreft een echte aanrader!

Location, Views, and Authenticity

Sarah's Albaicin house is a perfect and real Granada experience. This was our second trip to the city (19 years apart) and Granada was as fabulous as we remembered. The house was a big part of that. From the Alhambra views of the 3rd floor patio at sunset, to the cozy living room and patio on the 1st floor, the house met our needs and exceeded them. The kitchen is compact but very efficient and the same is true of the top floor small bathroom. The larger of the two 2nd floor rooms was great for our friend and the large bathroom there proved to be the space for us girls to blow dry hair:) While we did not hang out in the cave part of the house, if we had a longer stay or were here in summer, we would have as it stayed as consistently cool as a wine cellar. The best part for us was wrapping up in the cozy throw blankets and sitting on the top floor balcony with a glass of wine! Perfecto!

Beautiful house with wonderful terrace views

Quiet, comfortable, convenient to sights and shopping. Casa Luis is the perfect place for a small party of friends or family. Well-appointed and stocked kitchen, comfortable terrace off living area and second floor bedroom. Sarah makes you feel at home. If you are travelling to Granada Casa Luis should be your accommodation destination.

Granada Adventure

Sarah is wonderful! She had great advice and maps to all the local places of interest. We are vegetarian and Sarah went out of her way to name several vegetarian restaurants for us. We loved the authentic feel of her home, it is in a quiet neighborhood close to small markets and restaurants with easy access to taxis.

Charming property in a great location

The property was very comfortable, well appointed and clean. Sarah was very helpful and easy to communicate with. The location was fabulous. The view from the terrace was stunning. My only caution would be that this is not a location for people with mobility issues as while it’s an easy walk to the sights it is hilly and hard to drive to.

Four night stay in Granada's old quarter in early June 2019

The house was accurately described and felt like a home. We very much appreciated all the details in the decor and the way everything had been left for the enjoyment of guests, so we were even able to play atmospheric Spanish guitar music from the stereo and CDs left at the house. There are games and books in the cellar area. We coincided with an unusually hot spell with temperatures in the mid 30s but there were always cool places on the ground floor and terrace where the thick walls protected us and the breeze could waft through. Sarah was a very attentive host, greeting us and making sure we got our bearings with a very helpful pictorial map home-drawn. Food shops were within 3 minutes and open very long hours till 11pm. This has been one of the most interesting and enjoyable stays in a city we've had, also enriched by the walking tour with local restoration architect Rafael whom Sarah put us in touch with. He gave us insights we could never have learnt from a book. Highly recommended all round.

A beautiful home with a fabulous host

We are so glad we stayed in the Albaicin area of Granada and used this beautiful home as our base! This unique, interesting, and historic area is reflected perfectly in Sarah's home. We truly felt like were in a different world. The home is exactly as pictured plus Sarah's very thoughtful touches and modern conveniences (well connected tv, great wifi, dish washer, laudry machine). The porches were perfect for our breaks from touring as they let us continue to soak in the gorgeous environment from the comfort of home. In late March, the mornings and nights were chilly but the heating system and hot water were great. The house's location is great - close to everything but quiet enough that we woke to birds singing and church bells ringing. Sarah was a most gracious and responsive host before and throughout our stay. She manages this property with a lovely personal touch. She is welcoming, helpful, and a great communicator. In response to my request for a tour guide, she connected us with Rafael Anderson who gave my family an interesting tour of the Albaicin neighborhood. He pulled together all the facts about the architecture, history, and geography of the area and put it in a context that helped us all (ages 9-55!)truly appreciate what we were seeing. The Albaicin deserves several days of exploration and this home is a perfect place from which to do it. We highly recommend this home!

Super!

The house is very nice and comfortabel, situated on a beautiful location on walking distances from the Alhambra. 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 balconies with a direct view on the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada. Couldn’t wish for a better place to discover Granada. The owners were really friendly and arranged groceries before arival. We (me, my wife and 3 doughters) couldn’t wish for a better place!

Brilliant position in The Albaicin with fantastic views of The Alhambra.

We loved everything about this property, so full of character and very comfortable for the three of us, myself , my husband and our son. It would certainly accomadate 4 adults and 2 teenagers/ children very easily with extra space in the 'cave' for younger children if needed. It's a very short walk to the local shops and restaurants where you will find everything you need. The walk down to the centre of town is an easy stroll and full of interesting places to stop off and look around, plus cafes abound for the odd coffee on the way. The bus service back up to The Albaicin is reliable and frequent so you don't have to worry about walking back up the hill! We really didn't feel we needed a car during our stay. Sarah is a really helpful hostess and very accommodating, she went out of her way to organise taxis to the airport etc. The bottle of wine she left out for us on our arrival, plus other food stuffs in the fridge were very welcome. We would certainly return to this property if we get the chance to visit Granada again in the future.

Location in the heart of the Albaicin

Sarah was a great host. We needed a next day replacement for a VRBO place that cancelled on us and she responded immediately. Met us at the door, showed us around the apartment, gave us a good orientation to the area. The apartment is a three floor residence on a narrow Granda street. The Albaicin is a somewhat restricted area so you need to either walk to the apartment or take a taxi. You need to be able to navigate stairs with luggage. Bedrooms are adequately appointed. The third floor bedroom has a terrace with a view of the Alhambra. Beautiful place to enjoy a nightcap. This bedroom also has a small en suite. The two second floor bedrooms - one is a double bed with ample space. The other is a single bed. The second bathroom is on that floor. There is a cave room that is the original house. It was musty and we didn't use the space at all. Linens were good quality, towels supplied, some toiletries but bring your own. Kitchen is small, well equipped for our three night stay. The main floor has the kitchen, an eating area, and a sitting room.The sitting room opened onto another terrace with ample seating. Apartment was clean. We loved our stay there. We have used VRBO and Airbnb on several of our European trips. The key success issue for us has been communication with the host. Sarah was excellent on this score.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah McNulty

We are a family of 4 .We moved here in 2001 and haven´t looked back. We came for some adventure and a good- hearted place to bring up our kids & have not been disappointed.
The beauty, culture and history of Granada has kept us stimulated and we have all grown to love this place ,its people and the lifestyle .

Why they chose this property

We were stunned by the beauty and feel of the Albayzin on our first visit.Later we started to inquire about houses for sale. Our house was the first one we looked at and the search stopped there .It was only a shell but it had & has an atmosphere hard to capture in a photo.The previous owner was Laura de los Rios the niece of Garcia Lorca- Granadas famous poet. She bought it for its light atmosphere and privacy all rare qualities in the houses here.
It is our desire to live here in the near future. A thank you to all our guests for helping us in this quest.
Also we are very lucky to be able to drive to the door of the house as the Albayzin is a restricted zone & many of the cobbled streets don´t have access.To keep it quiet & traffic free our street has a barrier that is up between 11am -2pm & after 8pm( you can always exit!)If you arrive during these times just park up and walk down to the house-When the barrier lifts you can bring your car closer.

What makes this property unique

The Caves which would have been the original house . They are always cool in Summer and warm in winter we are very lucky to have them as an integral part of the house .
Our house is only a few minutes from the city center but above the pollution Also a few minutes from the sierra behind the Albayzin -for endless walks or cycling.
The incredible sunsets.
