Room or apartment: Naima
Good things about accomodation:the apartment was very well equipped for self catering. It was also clean, nicely decorated and in a good location for access to the arab quarter. it had a fantastic view of the Alhambra from the living room and roof terrace. The lady we dealt with to get keys to the apartment was punctual and very helpful. Highly recommended.
Good bars and restaurants:Arabic baths. Arab quarter in general.
Bad experiences in Granada:No, we had a lovely time in Granada, it is our favourite city in Spain.

Room or apartment: Naima
Good things about accomodation:The apartment was lovely. It was a perfect base in Granada and we spent hours admiring the view. The airconditioning was very useful.
Complaints about accomodation:No complaints at all
Good bars and restaurants:The Alhambra at night was well worth a visit. We also enjoyed our time in the Hammam Banos Arabes, and on the last day we hired a scooter and went up into the Sierra Nevada - we had amazing views, and the air was lovely and cool!
Bad experiences in Granada:Granada seemed bursting full of tourists (we were tourists too, of course) when we were there in August - so it might be better to go in the autumn or spring.

Room or apartment: Naima
Good things about accomodation:Staying in the Albaicin and the view of the Alhambra from the terrace is what it's all about and it more than lived up to expecations.
Complaints about accomodation:Everything was fine in the apartment.
We would have found it helpful to have some information about nearby food shops.
Good bars and restaurants:The Puerta del Carmen in Plaza del Carmen was excellent. A bit pricey but worth it for the quality of the food, the wine list and the atmosphere.
Bad experiences in Granada:No bad experiences, just disappointingly cool weather.
Suggestions:We couldn't find a corkscrew so we hope you found the one we left in the draw!

Good things about accomodation:Naimas house ist wirklich ein ganz besonderer PlatzLob und noch einmal ein herzliches Danke an die Eihgentümer Naima und Arturo. In unglaublich netter und ungewöhnlich hilfsbereiter Art und Weise haben sie uns zur Seite gestanden, als sich herausstellte, daß das Portemonnaie mit allen wichtigen Papieren und der Reisekasse vermutlich schon in Malaga-Flughafen ggestoheln wurde. Die Hilfestellung ging weit über das normale Maß hinaus, zudem bis 2 Uhr nachts!!!!! Wirklich unbeschreiblich!!!!

Good things about accomodation:we visit the alhambra in the sun and rain. it never disappoints. cicerone provides an informed, amiable tour.
Complaints about accomodation:no complaints. it is a well-equipped apartment - everything you need for cooking and making coffee in the morning, and a wonderful small terrace with a splendid view; convenient location. the tiny shower, which required some agility, had plenty of hot water. the rain kept us from opening the windows and we wished there had been more sun so we could take full advantage of the place.
Good bars and restaurants:we liked cafe lisboa for coffee and pastries in the morning, the parador restaurant served a fine lunch; we enjoyed chikito for sunday dinner; restaurante campanario off bib rambla, and antiqua bodega castaneda both had good food and good service.

Suggestions:Make sure you wear flat sandals in Granada!

Room or apartment: Naima
Good things about accomodation:Everything was wonderful at Naima's house. The furnishings and provisions took care of all our needs.
Complaints about accomodation:There should have been some way of contacting Naima from the apartment. There was no phone and we don't have a mobile phone. So the only way we could have reached them was to walk to the Plaza Nueva and use a pay phone.
Good bars and restaurants:We liked the friendliness and food at the Antigua Bodega Castaneda. And wonderful seafood at Restaurant Cunini.

Room or apartment: Naima
Good things about accomodation:We enjoyed the personal attention Naima gave us when we arrived. She walked us to the house, gave us a map and oriented us, and also took time in explaining how the logistics worked. She also gave excellent advice on restaurants and transport.
Good bars and restaurants:The Botanica restaurant's food and service was good, and we enjoyed having a light meal in the hotel in Alhambra. Also, the Anatolya restaurant was quite good.

Complaints about accomodation:We sayed in the house 5 years ago and loved it so we came back again.
There was no corkscrew so that was a bit annoying and only one wine glasss. I would recomend it to anyone as the perfect place to stay and not too expensive.
Bad experiences in Granada:No nothing but lovely people
