We have a craddle available for babies. Please leave a note when you make the booking. The fee is 5€/night.
Short notice stays
| |
You don't really know if you will stay in Girona, and just want to decide it on the spot? Well, we also take bookings for the same day. But the apartment may be already booked! Contact us on the telephone, see details here.
1-2 nights stay
| |
We usually don't take 1-2 nights stay as that would prevent longer bookings. However, if you are coming or leaving immediately after or before another booking (e.g. you arrive on monday, and another booking leaves on monday, or you leave on friday, when another booking arrives) we'll be glad to take the booking, but an additional fee of 40€ will be charged. Check the calendar.
Long term stays
| |
Some times we get a request for a quote for a 3-6 months stay. Although we are extremely happy to take them, please note:
if the apartment has already been booked for some of the period you are planning. Check the calendar.
the cost won't be low. As standard daily rates for a touristic apartment range 60-100€, just multiply. We can't make prices lower or we will be losing money.
If you are thinking of a 2-3 weeks stays in low season, then yes we'll be happy to talk about it. Contact us here.
Parking for bikes
| |
If you are renting bikes during your stay, the best advice is to rent a place in a parking nearby, just 2 minutes walk. The parking is garded and bikes will be locked just in front of the gardian. So it will be very safe, but the owners of the parking make sure you know the following rules:
you must bring your own lockes
insurance doesn't cover thefts. Althought this may sound a bit scaring, I have to say that I have checked it myself and the parking is absolutely safe, plus bikes are locked just in front of the security guard, who is permanently there.
Some guests have already rented this place and they all are happy about it. Also, rates are very reasonable- about 10 € per bike (any number of nights).
The parking is 5 minutes walk away. See the map in a new window here.
How do I get to the apartment without car?
| |
If you have arrived by train from Barcelona or by bus from the airport, you will be in the train/bus station. You may:
take a cab, that will leave you in front of the door in 10 minutes.
or you may have a pleasant walk, 10-15 minutes. The general direction is to 'Les Rambles'. First, from the bus station walk down to carretera de Barcelona, a busy motorway (won't be long). Cross this motorway and take left on this road to Placa Marques de Camps. Keep walking on the same pavement through the square. The pavement now goes right to Avinguda Jaume I. You need to cross the Avenue to carrer nou, which is a commercial street. No more cars from here on!. Walk all along carrer Nou, follow straight across the bridge and then turn left: Les Rambles. Walk in all the way. At the very end, the street goes right and then there is a crossroad. The road on your left is Ballesteries. Walk left and in 50 m you will see a sign on the left of a dark-brown door: 'Espai de ioga'. The door is just in front of a stone fountain. To check-in, just follow the instructions you received by email.
Has the apartment a parking place?
| |
No.Very few houses in Barri Vell have, as it is a peatonal area and ground floors are full of restaurants, shops etc. There is a very large parking place just 5 minutes walk. See it on a map here.
Arriving by taxi
| |
A taxi from the aiport will cost you 30-40 euros, and should leave you in front of the door. Our experience shows however that often they don't know the location and only follow the gps, leaving their customers some 50-100 meters away. Our apartment is just on the left of 'Bar La Terra'. If you are left alone and lost, just ask for this bar. Most people know it.
Arriving by car
| |
The entrance to the Barri Vell is permitted only three times. That means leaving and collecting luggage, plus one extra entrance. The car restriction enhances the quality of life of people in Girona. You have two choices:
if you don't have a heavy luggage I would recommend you to park outside Barri Vell. It's just a 5 minutes walk, and it's much less prone to mistakes. You may park in the blue areas of the map below.
if you really need to get to the entrance by car,see the map below. First get to Plaça Catalunya (car icon in the map), which is the only entrance to the Old Town ( choose it as destination, see for instance the route from Barcelona). When you arrive to Plaça Catalunya, drive ahead to Barri Vell (you will see a sign warning entrance restricted), then Plaça del Vi, Carrer Ciutadans, turn left (take care not to follow straight), and then after another turn you get to carrer Ballesteries. Just 50 meters ahead, on the left side, there is a Bar called 'La Terra'. The apartments' door is on the left. You may call me at the buzzer 'Espai de ioga', or just open the doors with the instructions you were given. You may park on the side for a few minutes, but don't leave it unattended (police don't like that procedure). Keep in mind the buses keep driving through and they will make you leave. Later, drive ahead to the parkings sites 1 and 2. We are sorry for these inconvenients, but we are sure you will certainly appreciate the confort of living in a car restriced area.
