This property is astounding. Comfortable, in the best area of Granada (away from the tourist traps) and the views from the terrace and patio are unsurpassed. Beatriz was a perfect host. I couldn’t recommend this property more.
The house is beautiful it is spotlessly clean and has everything you could need for your stay. The views from the terrace are simply stunning.
Beatriz is so great with communication and very helpful whilst you stay. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat. Gorgeous place I certainly hope to be back.
The apartment was perfect for our short getaway with friends. The terrace is unreal with impressive views of the Alhambra and perfect for aperitivos. Everything was spotlessly clean. Kitchen was perfect for our needs and beds comfortable. Perfect location too just 15min walk from the main sights. Thank you!
Beatriz was a wonderful host. She greeted us at check-in and showed us everything we needed to know about her lovely family home and the surrounding area.The location is perfection and is walking distance to many restaurants, shopping and the shuttle bus. Among the many highlights of our stay in Granada was the breathtaking views of the Alhambra from the apartment. I highly recommend booking this beautiful apartment for your stay in Granada. We enjoyed our stay very much. Simply the best!
The apartment was spotless when we arrived and the host met us there to explain where shops, restaurants , buses etc . From start to finish she was fantastic - great communication and couldnt be more helpful.
The apartment is well equiped with all you would need and really is in the most amazing location.
Would highly recommend and will book again if I return
I can't say enough wonderful things about this rental. The location is wonderful, the host was incredibly helpful and kind, the views of Alhambra are unparalelled, and the apartment was clean and beautiful with lots of character. It is clear that the owner/host takes great care to maintain and enhance the apartment. We have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals all over the world and agree that this is the best one we have ever stayed at with the best value. Thank you for making our time in Granada amazing. This place was the cherry on top.
Great place to stay with incredible views. This apartment serves as an excellent place to stay and experience the beautiful of Granada. Check in is in person which I believe is required in Spain, but still annoying to need to coordinate upon arrival.
A reminder that it is in the Albaicin and like any place there is on top of a hill. Just something to be aware of if you plan to wall into the heart of the city a lot.
You basically get a private version of the San Nicolas viewpoint from this apartment. Truly incredible.
Beatriz was awesome. Met us at the VRBO and showed us everything. Information printed out and laminated for us, very easy to use. Views were amazing!
Keys for front door were very difficult to use- often would not work!! Shower drain slow…. Water was backing up.
Overall it was a great place, I would stay here again.
Beatriz was the most friendly and welcoming host. I had an accident in Barcelona and when we arrived in Granada Beatriz was so compassionate and caring to me. I cannot say enough about this property- there is so much history here! The beds were very comfortable, the air conditioning was so lovely in the hot July weather. This property was in an ideal location where we could walk to everything, and the views are unbeatable. We would go out to dinner or to a flamenco show and we went to tour the Palace, but no matter what we did I could not wait to get back to our villa and sit on the rooftop terrace and look at the lit up palace :-) This was my first trip to Spain or Europe altogether and I have to tell you that we are staying in Granada at this home is the highlight of my trip and something I will never forget . I hope I am lucky enough to come back and stay in this house.
We have stayed at many rental properties over the years, and this one is by far our favorite. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is so much better than we expected.
The large terrace with the stunning view of the Alhambra was difficult to leave. I could have stayed there the whole visit. We bought wine and enjoyed it on the terrace every night.
The neighborhood is cute, wandering around looking for tapas was tons of fun. Used Uber several times for getting around, never waited long. Used the bus to Alhambra from the bus stop right by the house, super convenient.
If you are considering booking this place, don’t wait. Do it. You won’t be sad!
Beatriz made checking in and out smooth and easy , even arranging a taxi to the station on our check out day.
The apartment was a delight with stunning views of the Alhambra from every room! There are two outside spaces a balcony and a huge terrace but with the same amazing views. The kitchen was small but had everything you could need to make a meal not that you have too as you are situated in the heart of the Albaicín with plenty of restaurants all around you.
We loved our stay and would happily stay again if we are in Granada. I highly recommend this apartment.
You should note however that there are a lot of stairs. Not an issue for us at all and in fact the whole UNESCO Albaicín neighborhood is hilly with lots of steps so you will need to do stairs to stay in this area
We had a beautiful view of the city and the Alhambra. The patio was sunny and warm, a wonderful place for coffee in the morning. The host was communicative and accommodating. We couldn't ask for a better place to stay in Granada!
Appartement magnifique avec une vue magique sur l'Alhambra, Beatriz est très à l'écoute et l'appartement très typique est très confortable.
Encore merci pour ses souvenirs inoubliables
ESTANVIA IDEAL CON LAS MEJORES VISTAS A LA ALHAMBRA
El alojamiento es una maravilla si buscas alojarte en pleno Albaicín con las mejores vistas de La Alhambra.
La anfitriona te ayuda en todo lo necesario para hacer tú estancia irrepetible. No se puede decir mas...
Un saludo.
Beatriz est une hôte charmante, chaleureuse, efficace et discrète.
La maison est très agréable, bien équipée et très propre. On s'y sent bien immédiatement. Elle est située dans un environnement très calme, proche des commerces et d'un quartier très animé. La vue sur l'Alhambra est exceptionnelle, vous avez le privilège d'avoir un mirador privé dans la maison et sur la terrasse supérieure. Tout cela a rendu notre séjour inoubliable. La seule question : quand pourrons -nous y revenir?
The apartment is happily better than I imagined. You could not have a more accommodating host, amenities and location. There are views of the Alhambra from every main window and both, private patios. The photos do not do the apartment justice. We took a taxi from the train station which I highly recommend. There is a shuttle bus which stops right above the apartment, but is often too crowded to a comodate luggage. This may not be a suitable location if you have difficulty with stairs.
Die Vermieterin ist äußerst hilfsbereit. Die Terrasse ein Traum und die Wohnung zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Wir hatten wunderschöne Tage in Granada und können das Objekt wärmstens empfehlen
This house has one of the most amazing unobstructed views of the Alhambra, Generelife and the Sierra Nevada mountains! Better than the view you get at Mirador San Nicolas, because it is all yours on that beautiful giant balcony! It is convenient to walk, shop, restaurants, bus. The surroundings are quiet and serene. Beatriz is wonderful and responsive. I still can't believe I have to leave this place, it has been a truly amazing visit. Thank you Beatriz!
Sehr schöner Urlaub in einer schönen,interressant Umgebung
Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Haus und der Umgebung. Alles war vorhanden und sehr sauber. Unsere Vermieterin war sehr freundlich,hilfsbereit und zuverlässig.
Great location; great views.
Baiz was charming and helpful.
We are very experienced European travellers/residents.
This was one of the most pleasant and relaxing holdays we have enjoyed.
Das Haus ist gemütlich eingerichtet und es ist alles vorhanden was für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt wichtig ist. Der Ausblick ist grandios: von allen Zimmern hat man die Alhambra vor Augen, die genau gegenüber auf dem Berg liegt. Obwohl der Stadtteil touristisch ist, sind die Zimmer total ruhig. Eine kleine Terrasse ist genau vor einem der Schlafzimmer, es gibt aber noch eine riesiger Dachterrasse- beide ebenfalls mit Blick auf die Alhambra. Leider konnten wir die Terrassen kaum nutzen, da es schon kalt und regnerisch war.
Der Bus fährt hinter dem Haus ab, was sehr praktisch ist.
Beatriz ist total nett und hilfsbereit.
Diese Unterkunft war in unserem Andalusienurlaub die tollste und in jedem Fall ihr Geld wert.
This is a large apartment in the historic Ablaicin area with an amazing view.
4 people stayed here from the US (2 adults, 2 children - 10 and 8 years old) and we were very comfortable. The area is quiet and safe and everything is a 10-15 minute walk from your place. The interior furnishings are a little bit old, but the overall accommodations are amazing.
We arrived after 22:00 and the owner helped educate how to arrive to the apartment from the airport and met us there for a short orientation. This was a very nice touch and much appreciated by our family. She also helped answer any questions we had during our stay.
I am looking forward staying here again in the future!
Wir haben einen wunderbaren, erlebnisreichen Urlaub im Stadtteil Albaicin verbracht, der uns lange in guter Erinnerung bleiben wird. Die Ferienwohnung entsprach voll und ganz unseren Vorstellungen, Einzug und Auszug verliefen reibungslos. Beatriz ist eine sehr nette, hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Nicht nur die atemberaubende Aussicht auf die Alhambra von der grossen Terrasse aus, sondern die Lage der Ferienwohnung mitten im Stadtviertel Albaicin mit guter Erreichbarkeit von Geschäften zwecks Selbstversorgung sowie Restaurants sprechen für diese Ferienwohnung. Vor der Haustür befindet sich eine Bushaltestelle (C31, C32), im Übrigen ist man in Granada mit dem Taxi preisgünstig unterwegs. Parkplätze sind im Stadtviertel Albaicin Mangelware; auch die Ferienwohnung verfügt über keinen Stellplatz. Wir haben daher den Mietwagen in einem Parkhaus abgestellt. Am An- und Abreisetag haben wir uns mit dem Taxi zum Parkhaus fahren lassen.
Nochmals danke an Beatriz für ihre Gastfreundschaft !
