ALBAICIN HOUSE , GRANADA WITH INCREDIBLE ALHAMBRA VIEWS & ORIGINAL CAVES , WIFI

Sarah was a great host. We needed a next day replacement for a VRBO place that cancelled on us and she responded immediately. Met us at the door, showed us around the apartment, gave us a good orientation to the area.

The apartment is a three floor residence on a narrow Granda street. The Albaicin is a somewhat restricted area so you need to either walk to the apartment or take a taxi. You need to be able to navigate stairs with luggage.

Bedrooms are adequately appointed. The third floor bedroom has a terrace with a view of the Alhambra. Beautiful place to enjoy a nightcap. This bedroom also has a small en suite. The two second floor bedrooms - one is a double bed with ample space. The other is a single bed. The second bathroom is on that floor. There is a cave room that is the original house. It was musty and we didn't use the space at all. Linens were good quality, towels supplied, some toiletries but bring your own.

Kitchen is small, well equipped for our three night stay.

The main floor has the kitchen, an eating area, and a sitting room.The sitting room opened onto another terrace with ample seating.

Apartment was clean. We loved our stay there.

We have used VRBO and Airbnb on several of our European trips. The key success issue for us has been communication with the host. Sarah was excellent on this score.

Just picture postcard pretty. It was comfortable and well-equipped, with plenty of room for five adults. (I do have to say that no one in our group found the “cave” bedroom very appealing). The neighborhood is great, with many good restaurants and shops. After stays in Barcelona, Madrid, and Sevilla, the Albaicín seemed a “world apart” in the perfect way. The walks to San Nicolas viewpoint and “down the hill” to the Old Town area are short and easy. There are plenty of buses and taxis to bring you back again. Love this house!

We were there, my wife and I, with a daughter, her husband, and two young daughters. All had their own rooms. Plenty of space in the Albaicin neighborhood. This was a comfortable place to stay in one of the most unique neighborhoods we have ever stayed. Rich history. Narrow short streets to get lost on. Great views of the Alhambra from our two decks. We were here six nights. No complaints. Loved it.

This attractive house in the Albaicin section of Granada is located in the old historic part of town. The house is convenient to the Alhambra, wonderful local restaurants, markets and central Granada. With its narrow cobblestone and winding streets, it is easy to get “lost” but also very interesting. Driving a car in this neighborhood is not recommended and access is limited. The area is hilly and could be difficult to navigate for someone with a walking problem, although taxis and buses are inexpensive and readiy availble to access the neighborhood.

The house was pleasant and full of character and contained everything needed for a comfortable stay. We were three female friends; the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms gave us adequate privacy and more than enough space (we didn’t use the extra cave bedroom during our January visit). The kitchen was well supplied. We had breakfast in the house but ate our other meals out. Sarah and her husband, Bert, are gracious and thoughtful hosts. Many amenities were provided including coffee, tea and other groceries for us to start off with. Sarah was easy to communicate with and responded to all our inquiries in a very timely manner. On a personal note, I accidently left my presciption sunglasses in a local store. Sarah and Bert tracked down the glasses and mailed them back to me in the U.S. One couldn’t ask for more responsive people. In addition, our taxi back to the airport was arranged for us by Sarah and Bert; our driver, Pedro, was on time, helpful, efficient and inexpensive.

The only downside to this house for some people could be the stairs leading up to the main level and the stairs in the house from the main level to the bedrooms. The addition of handrails would be helpful.

Thanks to our hosts and this lovely home, we had a wonderful visit to Granada.

The location of the house in the Albaicin was a perfect base for our visit to Granada. Located in the old historic part of town, the house is conveniently situated to many activities including the Alhambra, local restaurants, markets, and central Granada. With its narrow cobblestone streets, it is not recommended to bring a car. Taxis and buses are inexpensive and readily available to access this neighborhood.

The home was comfortable and full of character for our family group of 5. My nephew enjoyed sleeping in the cave! And the other bedrooms gave everyone else more than enough space to spread out and relax.

Sarah was a very gracious hostess. She was easy to communicate with and full of helpful recommendations for having an authentic Granada experience. She put us in touch with Rafael, a local architect who gave us a full day walking tour on the history of the Albaicin and Granada. I think he made a lasting impression on my nephew, a 4th year architect major.

The house contained everything needed for a comfortable stay. We ate out most nights, but decided to have a small family celebration on New Years Eve. We picked up provisions at the local shops and markets and had a lovely New Years Eve feast! We even watched the fireworks displays from surrounding plazas from our terrace at midnight.

Thanks to this lovely home and hostess we had a terrific stay in Granada and will return to this house given the opportunity.
