Stayed 19-29 September 2016

Joan Marc is the most wonderful host. He really looks after you. We really enjoyed his apartment it was spacious and clean. My wife even cooked this time as the equipment is first class having everything you need and afterwards even a dishwasher. A washing machine is also included if you want to freshen any of your clothes up. There is a most reasonable supermarket just across the road. There is also a restaurant which stays open until about 12 pm. We went there the first night and stopped off there on the way back for a drink once or twice.

There are 2 balconies. But one is only tiny. The other to give you an idea of space. I would say would easily seat 6 for a meal around a table. There is a table for 4 outside.#

You have 2 metro stations nearby.

One is about 250 metre's and the other about 500 metre's or so. Camp d Larpa is the nearest (blue line 5) and Navas is the furthest away (red line 1).

By a T10 ticket at the airport 10 euros. Use it for the 46 bus just outside the airport and use the same ticket for the metro. You can use the same ticket for both journeys within 75 minutes for no extra charge. So that’s 1 euro only. It probably takes about 50 minutes to get to Joan Marc’s. But let me tell you there are a lot of steps at the stations to navigate if you chose to use this route. We got a taxi on the way back which is charged by time. It cost us 33 euro’s to go back, being picked up at the apartment of course. Which was a lot less hassle. We left at 9am.

We were told to be wary of pickpockets by a number of people but we didn’t see any sign of them.

We would have no problem about returning. We found the beds to be comfy as well. The bathroom has a bath (not quite full size) Shower is great. We only used air con once for about an hour but it worked fine. I think air con is in the main bedroom and living room. Also Wi-Fi is good.

The best place we found to eat for a reasonable price was Mirando al Mar at Maremagnum shopping centre. Get off at Dessanes metro, green line. 3 course special 18.50 euro’s.
