Estudio en Sierra Nevada. Monte Gorbea

The whole check-in was dreadful. They wouldn’t let us into the lobby, so we stood outside in the snow for four hours with our newborn. The heating didn’t work, and there was broken furniture and other damaged fixtures. We booked a two-bedroom apartment but got a one-bedroom place with an extra bunk bed crammed into a broom closet. Apparently a closet counts as a bedroom now. This business pays for fake ads, so be warned: the rating is higher than what you’ll experience. After getting enough bad reviews, they shut down and opened a new account.

We stayed during the quiet season. The apartment was nice, very clean and tidy, with a complete kitchen. The owner was friendly, and check-in and check-out were easy to follow.

We booked through esquiades and checked in at the machines outside. The one-room apartments are very small for four people, but the price is very affordable. You’re likely to have noisy young people as neighbours.

Clean and cheerful, and right in the centre with a great location. We only stayed one night and basically just used the place for sleeping, but the beds and sheets could have been more comfortable.
