Beautiful stay in Granada!

Had a wonderful stay at Gloria’s apartment in Granada. Perfect location in the Albaicín with spectacular view of the Alhambra from the upper living room and patio!The property was easy to find and we didn’t find the uphill walk all that difficult. Check-in was very easy and Gloria was very communicative the entire stay.

Must see city and place to stay

Such a beautiful city and this place allowed us to enjoy it to max. Views out every window and balcony were as good as any public area, but without the crowds. Gloria was very accommodating and the home was so very well decorated. Highly recommend unless unable to climb hills and stairs.

Gloria's apartment was wonderful. It has a breathtaking view of the city and Alhambra from the windows and a great outdoor deck. The woodwork is amazing and its very close to many restaurants and shops.

Lovely view

The view was as pictured from the upper room. The property was well appointed and clean. A few notes is the door can be tricky as you need the keys to also turn on the electicity and turn of when leaving, suggestion a battery motion light at the door to be able to see. Beds were comfortable and shower had great pressure. One suggestion is to upgrade the towels, but we had a great stay and the streets are fun to drive on!

Spacious and immersed in the culture

We had a lovely stay. There was plenty of room to spread out for our blended family with two teens. The immersion in historic Granada was perfect - with the incredible views, and winding Albacin neighborhood at the doorstep. We could walk almost everywhere we wanted to go. (There are hills which we knew.) The apartment had everything we needed, and it was perfectly clean.

Great unit in a fantastic location

The unit itself was very cool, overlooking the Alhambra. It was fairly large with an interesting layout and some nice spaces to just sit and take in the vibe of the place. The hosts were very helpful and although the check in process is (by necessity) a bit complex, the instructions were very well laid out and accurate. I would definitely stay here again if/when we come back to Granada.

First time visitors

This property is very special. If you are looking for an authentic experience in Granada- this is your place! Make no mistake- this area of Granada is not for the faint of heart! Tricky if older, have lots of luggage or dont like to climb. But magical to explore. Home is comfortable and has an AMAZING ambience, amazing views. Gloria is a helpful and available host who answered all of our questions. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful apartment in a magic city

We had a wonderful time in Granada, and the apartment is beautiful, nicely decorated, and well located, and the view is simply delightful.There was an unfortunate problem with the wifi and wifi extender during our stay - alas, a disservice to such an otherwise great place. I understand that the owners are fixing that issue, so you should have a great stay.

Spectacular View of Alhambra Off the Beaten Path!

Spacious apartment with two living areas. Great space and fabulous patio with views of Alhambra, day and night. Challenging to get around that neighborhood, but up hill has taxis cruising for customers so you don't have to wait for Uber. Downhill,

Unbelievable views from this gorgeous apartment.

This well-appointed, well-furnished large apartment provided the perfect stay for our visit in Granada. The views of the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada range are magnificent from many of the apartment windows. Located above the cities historic market, were able to locate great restaurants and fun shopping just minutes from our door. Great walking shoes are a must! We would stay here again.

beautiful property

Lovely apartment with special views . The owner is responsive. The minor negatives: taxi comes no closer than 190 meters of the apt. which means keep luggage to a minimum. The other problem was wifi which only worked 2 out of three days.

location and view from the balcony!

Gloria is a lovely host! Her apartment is well appointed and the views of the Alhambra are truly incredible. Be prepared to wind your way through a labrynth of streets to find the apartment. Google maps makes this process easy. But it’s still uphill. The apartment would be perfect for two couples but accommodates at least two more if needed. The washer was really great, there was a large fridge and plenty of supplies. No complaints!

Fantastic view and property. Would stay again

This property is stunning. And with the views across the Albaicin and the Alhambra its a breathtaking spot to spend time in. The property is large with 2 areas to relax in as well as a kitchen space. The ceilings are exposed beams so beautiful and add character. The instructions to get to the property are compex, but were easy to follow. I would say thay anyone with limited mobility or fitness issues, this property is in an old neighbourhood with cobbles and narrow streets on steep paths. There is no lift which it confirms in the property details. We loved our stay in Granada and would happily stay in this property again.
