Bravissimo Calderes El Bou, with river view

The location was great. We didn't mind the four flights of stairs. The view was lovely and the apartment clean with nice beds and shower. Was glad I'd read reviews as it is basically one large room divided out with bathroom in single room so we knew what to expect. The air con was great.

I had to buy basics such as washing powder, corkscrew, water, olive oil, salt etc. as none of these were there on arrival. We arrived slightly earlier than anticipated due to our flight times however even though it was 6pm ( after our check in time) we couldn't contact hosts to get in so had to wait half an hour until door code activated. On our departure day the cleaners entered the apartment approx 10.30. (check out time 11am) which shouldn't have happened. I was dropping out rubbish so my teen was there on their own. Poor communication from hosts. No response at all on the 'chat' they provided in the app despite a few questions sent re..check in etc.

Location was exceptional

Remote access arrangement through Bravissimo app did not work. A neighbour lat us into communal area and we had to use the code from email to gain access to the flat.

The location is absolutely fabulous - right in the heart of Girona old town and on the door step of restaurants, cafes, bars and historical sites, especially for Game of Thrones fans!!

There are several points to be aware of with this apartment. 1) There's a very steep, winding staircase and it's on the fourth floor. We managed, including carrying bikes up the stairs, but it may be challenging for some. 2) The partition walls in the apartment are extremely thin - really no more than a slip of plasterboard - so there's not much privacy at all. 3) The one bathroom is essentially in the single bedroom, and the walls do not even go up to the ceiling, so the person using the single bed may be unhappily aware of everything that's going on in the bathroom - not ideal for bathroom visits during the night!! 4) There are very low beams in the double room, meaning frequent bangs on the head. 5) The sofa bed is okay, but on our arrival we discovered that no bedding was provided automatically, so for the first night it was think blankets taken from other beds. We did then get bedding the next day, although it didn't include a duvet, so make sure to arrange this in advance if you plan to use the sofa bed.

Location was great right in center and river view . Good provision of kitchen equipment and great cold fridge and washing machine.

Just be aware on top floor so several flights of stairs and small staircase fine for cabin bags and daily shop but if not fully mobile and full-size suitcase would struggle
