We had a great time here and wholeheartedly recommend it. The apartment is cute and homey, and the terrace is great. AMAZING views. Comfortable beds, and the apartment was clean in the ways that matter. Tips for travelers: there is a small problem with mosquitos which we very effectively solved in the bedrooms with a plug-in anti-mosquito device, which you can get for a few euros at the grocery store. Not a single mosquito in the room when it was plugged in. The host, Gloria, is very kind and delightful. She was responsive on WhatsApp. Overall it's a fantastic deal and we would stay again.

Many thanks for your comments. Given the dry climate here, we rarely see any mosquitos, but of course, that doesn't mean there aren't any. They were great guests and we'd be very happy to put them up again.

We loved our stay here. Our host Gloria really helped by telling us where to park the car and getting a taxi to drop us off 2 minutes from the apartment. She was very informative. The apartment is absolutely beautiful inside. The views of the Alhambra are amazing. We loved the patio area and would sit outside at night and listen to the church bells. Really peaceful. The apartment is decorated beautifully and has a AC unit in every room. The beds were super comfortable and there are blankets on the patio if it gets chilly at night. It’s about a 6-8 minute walk downhill to the shopping area. You will definitely need a taxi if you have luggage because its uphill on cobblestone streets with stairs. I would definitely stay here again.

We did not cook much, but the kitchen seemed well equipped. The coffee press needs a new handle. The apartment is tricky to find but is in an excellent location. The view from the patio deck is exceptional. Gloria provided clear instructions, helpful information and responded to questions quickly.

The location of this property is amazing! From the balcony you get a beautiful view of the Alhambra and Generalife and the palace walls and towers. It really is unique. You are in walking distance of so many beautiful parts of the city. Restaurants. Shops. Major attractions. And the property itself is wonderfully appointed and comfortable. The host, Gloria, was helpful and genuine. One of the best experiences I had in Spain.

Our host was always available by VRBO or What’s App. The location of the apartment is wonderful! The Albacain neighborhood is a very old and famous area that is hilly and not easy to get a cab/Uber in certain spots so get ready to walk which we loved and the cafes tabernas were plentiful. You are also very close to shopping and Alhambra. The apartment has everything you need and a little cold in the winter (we were therein January) but even then we enjoyed a glass of wine on the balcony to watch the sunset with gorgeous views of Alhambra and snow covered Sierra Nevada mountains!!

We enjoyed staying at Casa Gloria. There was a small hitch (the place was not ready at check in time) but the owners handled it well. We went out for a drink and came back to a clean house. The balcony is lovely and the apartment is comfortable. It is a 5 minute walk up a hill but that was no problem for us. The area is historic and very beautiful. A view of the Alhambra from the balcony was delightful. Gloria is easy to communicate with and is very responsive. We recommend this place.

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.

The view of Alhambra from the apartment was amazing! The apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed. Given the location among winding streets we needed Google maps to find our way home - it worked. Not a good location for someone with mobility issues due to the hills and you can't drive up to it. Gloria was an excellent host - she went over & beyond to ensure we were enjoying our stay. Will recommend to friends.

Hi Tracey, I'm sorry to hear you had a hard time getting directions to the apartment. The apartment is located in Albaicín neighborhood which is Granada's Arab quarter, a World Heritage Site. This neighborhood is closed to traffic, so , you can enjoy the quiet streets and squares facing the Alhambra, but, from the apartment, you will be within easy walking distance to all places of interest. It has been a pleasure hosting you . Best, Gloria

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.

Wonderful, spacious place that is nicely decorated. Amazing views of Alhambra! It would have been a five star but we didn’t know that only two rooms had air condition, so we slept in the foldout bed. It worked out fine and slept well. Just something to consider if you planning on staying during hot summer months.

Many thanks for your comments Allen. Perhaps we should have recommended that you open the windows of both the bedrooms and those of passage way at night. Because the apartment is high up, you do get enough cross ventilation to cool the bedrooms to sleep comfortably at night, even in hot weather - that is our own experience at least.

The apartment is very nice and clean and spacious. There is a wonderful view of the Alhambra, and it is located close to many attractions, restaurants and bars. Gloria, the owner/manager was wonderful. The only drawback was the plumbing: we could not put toilet paper down the toilet. Also, the streets are so narrow, a car, including a taxi cannot fit in the streets. However, you can catch a taxi nearby. Overall, a great experience.
