Jose and Marta make sure guests are comfortable.
We arrived after an exhausting train and coach ride. Marta's friendly greeting put us at ease, while she mentioned that they had apartments just up the street that may be better suited for us. We looked at our booked room, the pictures of the apartment (with a washing machine) and decided that the apartment would be a better choice. After giving us simple directions, seeing our bewildered expressions, Marta asked Jose to help us find the apartment. Jose dragged our heaviest bag while we followed along discussing the stock market, politics, shopping and the future. They both are very personable and easy to exchange ideas with. We mentioned our tale of woe regarding tickets to the Alhambra. Jose wrangled two excellently priced tickets for the following day. A miracle in itself. The apartment is just up the street from the Jardines del Trumfo with it's beautiful fountain. This is an excellent place to bring your pastries from El Sol and enjoy a few minutes of peace and people watching. The apartment's location is an easy stroll to the Basilica de San Juan de Dios containing more gold than you can imagine. The comfortable bed, quiet apartment, Jose and Marta, washing machine and kitchen and location make this an ideal base to explore Granada. read more
