There is a microbus service which passes the house every 10 minutes. It follows a continuous loop around the Albaicín so it is possible to reach the centre of town very easily. The bustop is only 25 metres from the apartment.

Prices

The price of this apartment is very low. Due to the fact that it is very good value for money it is normally booked for many months in advance.

The price of less than 7 days is the same as seven days so the price would be expensive if you rent it for less than 4 nights.

Please see booking form below for prices

There will be a price increase for any stay in Easter week.

What do our guests think about our flat?
This is the email we received from Liz.

It's been a long while, but I just wanted to say hello. I am just finishing putting together my photo albums of Spain and I wanted to thank you and your family for having me (June 30 - July 8). I absolutely fell in love with Granada and the Albaicyn and hope next time I come you will still be renting the flat-- I would love to stay with you again. You were such cordial, helpful, gracious, understanding hosts. What a dream Spain was for me. It seems eons ago but I still think about it every day. The flat was so much nicer than staying in a hostel or hotel. Thanks so much, again. Liz Gardner.

P.S. If you dine at Mirador de Aixa, have some chicken w/orange sauce for me. It was incredible!!

La Higuera. Pleasant restaurant bar with garden, fountain and flowers. Good music in the bar during the evening. Fairly cheap.
