OLe!!!

Review Submitted: October 22, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We spent a week in early October 2009. 4 adults 25 - 67
The two teraces are beautiful!!! It was fantastic. It was very clean and tidy but still felt lived in. Im a flamenco guitarist so every evening was spent on the lounge on the top floor playing, looking out at Alhambra. Amazing!!! Location wise, its in a great spot. 5 minutes walk to the market laden streets and a 10 minute walk up hill to Plaza San Nicholas. The only thing I will say is that it is hard to get to by a car and if any members of your party have mobility problems it could be an issue.
It was great to hear the human trafic all day long in the streets too. Making it a really authentic experience for my parents who had never been to Spain.

Thank you Cris and Stik for a great week!!

Quirky and wonderful home

Review Submitted: October 9, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We spent the week of August 28 to September 4, 2009, at this quirky and wonderful home. The "we" in this case refers to four adults ranging in age from 26 to 62. Each of us found a little corner of the casa to call our own and all of us spent lots of time on one or the other of the two terraces; the views are magnificent! We had originally thought that we would treat ourselves to a dinner at one of the carmens for our last night's dinner. However, after eating on our "large" terrace, we couldn't imagine any place more beautiful to spend that last night. We shopped at the shops on the Plaza Larga, which was a delightful, as well as a delicious, experience. Because we had driven to Granada we had to find a place to park the car, which was a bit of a challenge; but, we managed to find spaces in the Albayzin around the wall every time we returned from an outing. Having a car was sort of a bother but it did enable us to take one great day trip to Monachil and the Alpujarra where we did some great walking. We have no reservations in recommending this property. The location is fantastic and the fittings very comfortable. The stairs might be worrisome for people with small children but for us they replaced the Stairmasters we had left at home.

My wife, brother-in-law and I stayed at this lovely property in May 2009. Christine's communication before and during our stay was excellent and the property itself is fantastic. The views are to die for and the apartment is very spacious and well laid-out. We look forward to returning.

Authentic Granada experience

pqpg Cobourg, Canada
Review Submitted: March 29, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Pre-trip communication from owner was terrific. Excellent directions. From where you can park, it is a good 5 minute walk down to the house, so people with disabilities would be hard done to make it. Location is fantastic; you're 5 minutes from the city centre, and 10 ( depending on your walking speed ) from the Alhambra. The house itself was clean and comfortable and everything necessary was there. The bathroom is on the ground floor, which is a pain to get to in the middle of the night from the master bedroom on the second floor, but that's part of the charm of staying in a typical house in the old part of the city. As well, as in many parts of Europe, the hot water tank is not huge. From the terraces, the views of the Alhambra are tremendous, especially when it is illuminated at night. We had friends who live in Granada over, and they were taking pictures with their cell phones, as the view is really top notch.
Overall, I would highly recommend this house for anyone who wants to visit Granada, and even more to someone who is interested in experiencing living in the Albaizin. It was safe and centrally located, and the owners are wonderfully attentive.

A wonderful holiday, an amazing house !

Phimo Paris, France
Review Submitted: April 20, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
Maison super; très agréable, très propre et meublée avec beaucoup de goût. Quartier calme, effectivement un vrai bonheur de se perdre dans les ruelles de ce quartier unique. Qualité des échanges avec Christine la propriétaire très appréciée, notamment la documentation reçue avant de partir. Accueil parfait. Les terrasses avec vue l'Alhambra comme à le toucher : une merveille. Bref difficile de faire mieux. Pour les personnes à mobilité réduite, attention, pas d’accès voiture ni de parking possible à proximité immédiate

Schönes Haus in guter Lage

Review Submitted: November 19, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Ende September 08 verbrachten wir 4 Nächte in diesem schönen Haus. Es ist zentral und trotzdem ruhig gelegen, hat von beiden Terrassen einen unverbauten Blick auf die Alhambra und ist für ein Ferienhaus sehr liebevoll eingerichtet . Alles im Albayzin und Sacro Monte und viele sehenswerte Orte im Rest der Stadt sind gut zu Fuss erreichbar.Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und unbürokratisch. Bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Granada werden wir gerne wiederkommen.

schönes Stadthaus im reizvollen Viertel in Granada

Abel Michelfeld bei Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Württemberg
Review Submitted: November 2, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Granada im schönen Stadthaus. Das Haus liegt mitten im historischen Viertel Albayzin mit Dauerblick auf Alhambra. Es ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und bietet alles, was man braucht. Uns hat besonders gut gefallen, dass man von hier aus die wunderschöne Stadt Granada erkunden kann und trotzdem immer wieder ein Refugium hat, wo man sich erholen kann von allen Eindrücken in dieser quicklebendigen Stadt. Das Viertel Albayzin besticht durch die vielen kleinen Gassen, die interessanten Häuser und die schönen Ecken. Viele junge Menschen sorgen für eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre. Im Ferienhaus, das durch die verschiedenen Stockwerke einen interessanten Zuschnitt hat, fühlten wir uns sehr schnell heimisch. Die 2 Terrassen mit Blick auf Alhambra, die Nachbarhäuser und Gärten konnten wir tagsüber und nachts gut nutzen. Für einen Stadauftenthalt mit besonderem Flair kann man dieses Haus nur wämstens empfehlen. Sogar für unser Mietauto fanden wir jedes Mal einen Parkplatz im engen Viertel, wobei man sehr gut ohne Fahrzeug auskommen würde.
