Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
Having lived here for 5 years I know the area well and love giving
an introductory chat on the area; local restaurants,
cave bars, scenic walks etc.
Raised in Southern California and degreed in Industrial Design
we have done our best to provide the charming and
functional ambiance suitable for the area.
Why the Owner Chose Granada
Discovering the Albaicin 16 years ago I was overwhelmed by it's incredibly
human charm, ancient soul and village-like tranquility.
The winding walking streets, flower filled balconies and open-air veggie markets
take you in as a welcome visitor. Then of course, the Alhambra Palace
is a must-see and the terrace has on of the very best views of it.

Incredible views of the City and Alhambra
Guest: Neil W.
Date of Stay: 11/28/11
Review Submitted: 12/12/11
We stayed in this studio for 10 days in Nov/Dec 2011. The apartment is clean, tidy and well equipped. Greg, the owner, gave us great tips on what to see, where to buy groceries and nice restaurants in the area. Greg was always available to offer assistance or information the entire time we were there. The patio is definitely the greatest feature of this studio .. the view is spectacular and the warm sunshine and the peace and quite make it a great place to relax with a glass of Spanish wine and your book. We had a fabulous time in Granada and would recommend this apartment to any travellers. Neil & Estelle Warren - Canada

My fiance and I stayed only two nights at this place in the Albaycin. Getting to the location was admittedly a bit of an adventure, but if you follow Greg's information to the letter (a bit of walking is involved and can't really be avoided), you will find it. The first thing you notice when you walk into the apartment is how cozy the place is. It is extremely cozy, but it is perfect for the romantic couple. The place is very tastefully put together and the amenities are quite adequate. I was happy to see the place when I walked in, but then I saw the view of the Alhambra and my jaw dropped. It really is an unbelievable view that really made staying there absolutely worth it. Greg was also really great to talk to and get information about Granada and the Albaycin. Perhaps my only regret in staying at his apartment was that we didn't stay there longer!

I knew from the picturs and the comments on VRBO that I would like this. What I didn't know, of course, was that I would LOVE this! Everything about the flat-Greg's hospitality (yes, I enjoyed the conversation immensly!) and just experiencing this indescribable city- As I write, the church bells are taking their turns & calling the town. I have fallen in love with Granada.(We don't have church bells at home) I came here alone to present at a conference. Although I needed & much enjoyed this 'solo adventure' the town here is so very romantic - I wished I was not alone-So next time- The Mrs. comes along-and no work-just Granada! I cannot thank you enough, Greg, for making me feel so welcome. You seem to have a very blessed life. I know you cherish it. Well done! Until the next time, Then- Paul Delmar, MD. USA

Greg and Fina, Thank you so much for a great time. The apartment was "precioso" and "perfecto" for our 4 days in Granada! Of course, the view is INDESCRIBABLE!. We love the Albaicin barrio. The area is rich w/ history & surprise shops, schools and cafes. Count on us returning! Lucia and Patrick Rockwall, Texas

Review Submitted: 10/04/11
We were first a bit overwhelmed by the location up in the hills. The Dutch are not used to climb up the hills! But the reward was fantastic. I've never had such an experience. The Alhambra right in front of us, we stayed in the middle of Albaícin, with the city centre nearby (downhill!). The apartment is cosy and complete. A bit small so you must really like your companion! Every night we stayed in because the view was so amazing, we had fantastic home made salads at the roof terrace and life couldn't get any better. I would reccomend this appartment to people who don't need much luxury and are in to an amazing experience and romantic stay.

Feels like you live in granada

Review Submitted: 05/28/11
The apartment is in an excellent location. The view is magnificent. 5-10 minute walk to restaurants/bars/cafes/markets. Make sure you pack light! Nearest Taxi drop off/bus stop is a steep rocky/stone pathway or steep steps (as is classic of the neighborhood) to the apartment. Rolling suitcases not advised. Take an easy overnight bag. The studio apartment is very cozy. Good for a couple who dont require much privacy. Owner, Greg, has great recommendations and ideas about the area. He is available throughout the stay for questions or quick apartment needs/fixes. Location is not the most convenient (if that is what you are looking for) but the quaint neighborhood is great to walk through and enjoy. We would recommend this apartment to friends and family.

La Torre was a perfect place to stay in Granada and well priced for a couple people who want to enjoy the picturesque views of the Alhambra right outside their door and be in easy walking distance of the downtown shops and Plaza Nueva. The owner was especially easy to work with and very accommodating. Very comfortable bed, nice small kitchen, clean and elegant dishware, pleasant temperature indoors and out. The bathroom was a little small and cramped, but the shower was fine. There were also some small ants in a few places, but if you keep the place clean and do your dishes they're not a problem at all. I highly recommend this apartment for a couple who want to spend a wonderful few days in Granada.
