Al Andalus

We are currently staying in the apartments located on Calle Gracia. We like it and are thinking of extending our stay! We just needed a place to stay whilst visiting some relatives in Granada. We were unsure when booking, but as soon as we arrived we were impressed; we were upgraded to a bigger flat which was a nice start. He told us that they are only 2 years old, which might explain why this place lacks reviews and still has rooms available during peak season. The actual building is in a small quiet street and has a nice very spanish courtyard in the middle of it, the decor being white walls and wood. There is also a lift. The front door opens into the living room which has a swish flat screen tv, what we think is a sofa bed, and a dining table. The kitchen is bigger than what we expected. Nice touch-sensitive hob and lots of plates, pans etc. We requested a kettle when booking, but there wasn't one - he offered us a coffee pot but that's not quite the same to us tea lovers! Think the lack of kettles is something we are just going to have to accept when in Spain. Bedrooms have air con and big wardrobes with mirror doors. Bathroom is nice, a bit of a squeeze to get through the door but has a surprisingly large shower. The location is perfect for us as it is just down the road from who we are visiting. But I would actually recommend this for tourists generally. I don't think you would find a place like this in the albaicin for example, and not for this price. So the 5 minute walk (if that) to the big main street (Reyes Catolicos) is definitely worth it, and the road just up from the apartments (Puentezuelas) has lots of nice little shops and bakeries and things so it's a pleasant area to be in. Granada is small anyway so the catherdral would only be 10 mins absolute max I would say. Note: make sure you call, text or email to let him know what time you are arriving, as there is no sort of reception or anything so you'd just be standing in street. The man made it clear that any query we had we were to call him: very friendly and helpful. Overall, this is an absolute gem!
