Llafranc is beautiful and the location of the apartment is very central (one street back from beach). The walk to Calella de Palafrugal, and beyond, is simply stunning. The climb (up a lot of steep steps) out of Llafranc is more than rewarded by the views and the shade from the trees as you walk the 'corniche'. I looked at the location of the apartment on Instant Streetview before the drive which helped me easily locate both the hotel for key collection and the apartment itself (about 1 mile away). The apartment was well equipped and the beds comfortable. We had a balcony off the living area which was perfect for breakfast and a nightcap. The apartment is in the centre of town, so some delivery van noises could be heard in the morning but otherwise the street was as quiet as could be expected for mid June in the middle of such a busy tourist town. Doubtless it will get noisier in the height of season. The shower room is tired and could do with updating but it was clean. We had a problem with the toilet in the twin room and, apart from not receiving a phone call to keep us updated, the host could not have done more to find a plumber to effect the repair. It was a nuisance but, hey, no-one's fault. The main issue with the apartment relates to the underground car park which, due to the location of the apartment, is nevertheless an absolute luxury. However, do be aware that the entrance is steep - sufficiently steep to 'ground' large cars. Having read others' feedback we were aware of this and, as our car is a standard family car size, assumed we would be ok. We were - but only just. It nevertheless, required a lot of manoeuvring to get the car reversed into its slot for an easy, forward facing, getaway. If you own a large estate car, this property is sadly not for you - unless you park somewhere else (but where?).

Nothing for the price we paid.

This appartment is next to the main entrance of the village, one minute walk to the beach. The appartment was good, as advertised, and with everything one would need. Clean and tidy. We just stayed two nights and didn´t really cook. There is a parking in the building, accessible with the elevator, so very convinient.

The parking space is in the basement, and the exit ramp is pretty steep and narrow, it was a bit stressful to park even if we had a small car.

great location

One key provided for 6 adults. - having to pay 30€ to collect key on arrival. Shower in one of bathrooms hitting off wall and water running along ledge thus soaking floor. no bath mats. we had to request extra keys and were promised to receive them next morning. had to call again as no one turned up. eventually received another key and bath mats in afternoon. suggest a key pad would have been a better arrangement thus saving us money in having to collect them

Perfect location and good distribution for the apartment

it is a bit oldish in its furniture and the noise of the machinery in the top room of the duplex was very uncomfortable

This is a great place to have as a base for local exploring. It is compact but it has everything you need and is in a great location. Beds were super comfy.

The downstairs bathroom was damp and smelly. There could have been a spare roll of toilet paper provided for a 3 night stay.

Close to the beach, spacious, had all we needed, and was generally clean (despite some maintenance issues, see below) came with a welcome pack of detergents and basic equipment which was really nice Easy, contactless self-checkin and a nice experience!

The flat was not very well maintained, with moldy shower curtains, the upstairs bathroom door not closing, and the curtains half-falling off. the owners were not responding while we were there (automated holiday message) - don’t get me wrong, everyone deserves to have vacations, but it would’ve been great if there was someone else we could’ve been referred to rather than getting no answers at all to our questions ;) in general though it was a good flat and experience.

The location was close to the beach, supermarket across the road, and a really great comfortable apartment.

The number of vehicles using the street made it incredibly noisy either early morning or evening, especially the refuse cleaner trucks. It becadme a bit frustrating.

location

a lot of chipped crockery.and may need replacing. very scant kitchen utensils and poor quality knives and serving plates. we had to buy tea towels. we would have cleaned very thoroughly on departure but there were no cleaning products. we did think we had booked the apartment with the terrace so a more accurate description would’ve helped.

fantastic value for money , no issue collecting the key from hotel on route as knew this in advance. both rooms en-suite which was a bonus , every thing you needed for cooking etc and a large fridge. everything you would need for a short stay in lla franc . location was excellent , a stones throw away from the local shop so no carrying shopping up hill to like some places we have stayed before , would definitely use this apartment again on our next visit to this lovely little place

upgrades air con unit in top bedroom and better pillows

Great location, one street back from the sea front and to have basement parking is a bonus. Everything you need for a self catering holiday is in the apartment. Two bathrooms is also very useful.

Nothing - all good

The location was the only postive

*The awful smell in the downstairs bathroom and the poor shower *The cracked shower tray upstairs *Shabby living room furniture *Inadequate kitchenware, but why 2 toasters? *Cracked crockery and dirty pans *No cleaning products or hand wash *Dated television with no media access *Old hotel towels, no bath mat *Transport needed for collection of key at Hotel Garbi Facilities seriously lacking normal Spanish standards
