We were initially hesitant to book the Chezmoihomes as we usually go for a more traditional apartment in a historic building when visiting European cities. However, I’m glad we didn’t on this occasion as this apartment was a fantastic choice.
Firstly, the location is superb, nestled among a number of tapas bars (I recommend the Riviera at €2 for a small beer and a tapa) four minutes from both Plaza Nueva and the cathedral and within easy walking distance of shopping in the historic centre and a slightly longer walk to the beautiful Albaicin district and then on to Sacromonte.
The apartment itself is tastefully decorated and beautifully furnished. All mod cons are included (dishwasher/washing machine/aircon/heating/electric blinds) and it is very secure with keyed entry to the front door and a separate key for the apartment (which has a deadbolt mechanism that wouldn’t be out of place at Gringotts).
The beds are supremely comfortable and the showers perfect, but the main selling point for me was the fact that both bedrooms, in addition to having standard blinds, each have external automated metal blackout shutters which deaden street noise to the extent that you no longer realise that you’re in the town centre - unbroken sleep is essential if you want to explore Granada! The smart TV was a nice touch too (as long as you have a Netflix or Amazon account).
Loved it!
