I booked this place after careful searching on the net about Granada, wanting somewhere with a bit of character but near to the Alhambra and old town.
It was smack in the middle of the old town – which is built on a hill and is a maze of little streets – not all accessible by car or motorbike (which we were on). We did get lost and had to ring for help, and they came out to meet us thankfully… as hubby was getting a it frazzled by that time.
The house itself is lovely and old, but when you started to look closely then you saw the cracks in the dream.

We (sadly) arrived on pond cleaning day – which meant sitting on the patio as we had booked the patio room was possible but only if we wanted to see the pond being cleaned – and smell the smell which went with it. The room was part ready when we arrived – about midday. So we quickly dumped our stuff, changed and went out. Returning to a clean and finished room.

Michael was very helpful about Granada itself and bus numbers to catch, along with a couple of restaurant ideas as well. He did ask to settle the bill as soon as we arrived so we wouldn’t need to worry in the morning, and seemed a little dazed when I only gave him 20 euros, having paid a 60 euro deposit via Paypal on booking, although not mentioned on the website I also had to pay a 5 euro surcharge as we were only staying one night – which I wasn’t really happy about but paid as I had no choice.

Maybe I just started to look for issues, but there were several things which for me meant I felt we had overpaid -
The bed in the room wasn’t joined to the head board, and it knocked on the wall every time either of us turned over in bed.
It said that all rooms have en-suite bathrooms… well the patio room does, but its not a full bath – but the small styly Spanish shower bath – although we had to hold the shower head as the bracket for the shower was broken. I had one very powerful and hot shower then my hubby did, but the hot water ran out.
The fridge wasn’t overly clean….slight mildew in the door seal and a filthy front to it.
The curtain poles didn’t have ends on them.
The bench on the patio had very sad cushions which needed sewing up.
The pond cleaning attracted children (possibly family) to look at the fish, and whilst we were trying to siesta there was a lot of very loud screaming going on in the tranquil location just outside our door…so we had to ask for them to be quiet. Which happened after about another 5 minutes. We aren't 'children' people, hence booking the tranquil location....

On exploring the town that evening we found several hotels with very easy access for the same price which were 3 star…. So the next time we go to Granada its these I shall be checking out.
