Stunning Alhambra view balconies, in the Albayzin

Location was fabulous

A vista.

Vue incroyable, magnifique sur l'Alhambra. Très grand appartement, super beau et propre.

- Views from the main rooms were exceptional. The flat is spacious and reasonably well equipped. Nice to hear the occasional busker outside and the local very amateur choir practising. Plenty of helpful travel guides and info on how to do lots of things. Broadband pretty good. - Granada was brilliant, 7 nights felt about right to us

- Poor noise isolation from the adjoining holiday flat; you could hear them talking as though they were in the next room. Taberna across and down the road is quiet from 10pm, except when their beer is delivered on a Wednesday at 7am and then a racket is made rolling the barrels on the cobbles. Friday night had a few noisy drunks passing until the very small hours. - Flat is pretty dirty, layers of dust everywhere, a 5cm tide mark on the bottom of furniture having had a thilthy mop sweep past. All knobs and handles in kitchen sticky. No proper pod coffee machine, the "tea maker' is a kettle. No airconditioning and no heating; see photo of missing a/c controls and heating controls turned OFF and locked away. TV often unwatchable due to hopeless reception. Curtain nearly transparent on one bedroom was 50cm narrower than the window in another... so all the light is let in. Shower really needs a refurbishment. Needs more mirrors; one in the bathroom and one high up in the hall is not enough for 2, never mind 4 people. Sofa only seats two, yet the flat sleeps 4. Sofa's cover so thilthy I blame it for a rash on the back of my legs. Microfibre "tea towels" needed washing before use. No proper chopping board, just a thilthy split wooden one that would be illegal in a UK restaurant. Chairs too low for the kitchen table, so it felt like you were back at school. No extractor fan in bathroom. - Note that access is up a considerable number of cobbles and steps, lots of dog mess, so take care. - Communicating with the host was tricky. Mainly my fault as I don't speak Spanish. The host's English was problematic at times.
