Fabulous apartment at the foot of the Alhambra. Located in Carrera del Darro itself, in an old building from the beginning of the century preserving its central courtyard with columns, high wooden ceilings, completely renovated for your comfort but without losing the signs of identity that make it unique. A few minutes from the Mirador de San Nicolás, Sacromonte, Cathedral ... Taxi access to the same door, since the Albaicin neighborhood, where we are, was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1994, and because of this Vehicle traffic is very restricted. Surrounded by the typical tapas bars, teterias, caves with flamenco tablaos, what you can imagine to rest, stroll, leisure ... and have fun decide what you decide without depending on car for it squeezing the most every moment.

Location is exceptional. Great places to eat in either direction and a grocery store very close by. Old town, surrounded by history, with hammam and Flamenco shows within a block. Views of the Alhambra across the street (and can see the apartment from the Alhambra). Great design of the apartment to maintain the historical features while making it comfortable, functional and unique. Met in person by a property manager, lots of little extras (welcome drinks, medicine kit, tea available).
One note, our taxi would not take us directly to the apartment so we had to walk the last half block in the old part of the city with our baggage. During our visit I noticed some taxis (and transit buses) did proceed down that street, so our driver may have not had the right permit or just been unwilling to take us right to the door. If toting baggage is an issue, you may want to confirm with your ride service where they can drop you.
This place was great, wonderfully decorated and very friendly and welcoming. If you are a light sleeper, the windows don't block out much of the outside noise. If you are a sound sleeper this place is great.
Lovely small apartment, but beware of street noise
Overall a lovely little apartment right on the Carrera del Darro in a typical old building with several similar apartments all backing onto a central atrium - the atrium door opens right onto the Carrera del Darro, and in a few paces you're looking up at the Alhambra from a lovely public space with several reasonably-priced restaurants, a guitarist or 2 playing Spanish music, etc.
The Albaicin is right behind, with lovely little streets and more bars/restaurants, & within a short (steep) walk you reach Mirador de San Nicolas with a fantastic view of the Alhambra from across the valley.
The apartment's well-appointed including a washing machine. It is small, but with the sofa bed it could fairly easily sleep 6 people (but could feel a bit of a squeeze). The kitchen is very small but perfectly functional and adequate.
The only real problem we had was with the street noise outside, especially at night - Carrera del Darro (cobbled street) has taxis, buses, delivery vehicles & mopeds going past at regular intervals all night & so we found it impossible to sleep in the lower double bedroom. We resorted to one of us sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area, the other buying earplugs from the local supermarket. It's a ground floor apartment and some windows back directly onto a side street.
Overall we enjoyed our stay here but we'd urge the owners to address the noise issues somehow.
Acogedor pequeño apartamento en el corazón del Albaicin
El apartamento se encuentra en el lugar perfecto para recorrer todo el Albaicin y también la parte antigua y la zona del Ayuntamiento de Granada.
Carmen ha sido muy amable con nosotros y nos ayudó en todo lo que necesitamos, realmente fue una gran anfitriona.

Granada
We were told the host would greet as at the property location (granted it was late10 pm) but instead we were directed from our taxi drop off point over the phone.
The following morning, she dropped by but was in a rush and not inclined to take time to give recommendations or advise.
The accommodation was in a terrific location on a historically significant street and central to heart of Granada.
It was attractive with comfortable beds, and we did appreciate the bottle of wine and 2 cervesas.
We arrived in Granada by train and it was an easy taxi ride to the property. A photo of the exterior might help as from the outside it does not look like the right place and there was no one immediately there to let us in (we were a little earlier than we'd said). However a quick phone call to the contact given us by the owner and we were in! Our ground floor apartment was spotlessly clean, well appointed and with some lovely touches. Thank you for the welcome bottle of wine, beer, olives and sweets! The apartment has no natural daylight and other than the wonderful entrance courtyard, no sense of 'outside' but after a day of sightseeing and hustle and bustle it provided a lovely oasis of quiet. Perfect for a break in February!
This is a very cute little apartment that is in the historical district. You can see the Alhambra from inside the gate through the patio opening.
We walked everywhere while we stayed there. Walked to Alhambra and multiple shops and restaurants.
Pros:
Walkable
Great location
Historic building and architecture
Gelato shop across cobble stone street from apartment
Little grocery store just two doors down. Nice outdoor restaurants less tha 100 m from apartment.
Great host.
Cons:
We had a very stressful CheckIn! In fairness this does not seem to be typical and there were very extenuating circumstances for it. Francisco worked had for make it right. I don’t think others would have this experience.
WiFi reception was not great. I had to get some work done and it made things challenging. Francisco helped identify places I could go and get WiFi with a beverage which worked out well. He states they are working to update WiFi.
This was a wonderful apartment: cool, clean, nicely decorated. Comfortable beds. Wine and beer to welcome us. In the best location, w easy walking to all the sites. View of the Alhambra. Cafes and bars nearby.
We loved our stay.
The host and Carmen who let us in were both responsive and kind.
The apartment was well decorated and perfectly appointed. Everyone was very helpful and nice. The weather was quite cold in Grenada in late Dec and the apartment is better suited to warmer season visits, but we were quite pleased with everything despite the cold weather.
We are a small family from Canada who spent almost 3 weeks in Granada while studying Spanish and enjoying the sights. The apartment was conveniently located on Carrera del Darro, which can get quite busy at times. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The kitchen a bit small for our needs but worked well enough. Granada is such a beautiful place!
My husband, our 16-year-old daughter, and I loved our stay at Meraki Suites. It was tucked off the main street by a private entrance courtyard, and once outside, we were right in the heart of the Albaicin. The place was decorated beautifully. The cost of the rental was very fair.
If we needed anything, we just texted Carmen, and she quickly supplied it. She was wonderful! She made reservations for us at an amazing restaurant she recommended. She arranged our taxi when it was time to leave, which was very helpful.
There was a bit of street noise in the bedrooms at night, but it wasn't a problem--I just used a white noise app on my phone to drown it out. I would definitely recommend staying here.
Location was great. Allowed for great walking to bars restaurants and shops. Carmen was excellent at meeting us at checking and provided us with a bottle of red wine and beers at check ins. Very hospital. Sadly had to reach out to VRBO customer service to get check in day information from owner. Owner was not very responsive.
We stayed Meraki Suites 3 nights for our Granada exploring. Overall, we are pretty happy to find such place like Meraki Suites. Wonderful location, cozy apartment, all articles for daily use (more than we expected), a battle of wine for welcome, and icy beers in refrig!
Only a few things, the building is located right on the main street of the old town, so convenience. But we can hear people and vehicles even after the midnight in our bedroom(the location's pro and cons); there is no front desk or Apartment sign or any person around could help you confirm the place and check-in after your arrival. Make sure to contact their manager before you come and settle all your arrival details with them if you, like us, are international travelers, don't have local phone service and don't speak Spanish. Overall, we love this place!
Great host, clean apartment and fantastic communication throughout our stay. The apartment had everything me and my family needed in a very cool area of Granada. Extremely secure apartment where we all felt safe and secure. Everything we needed was within walking distance and the view of Alhambra was inspiring.
There is a hostel in the alley next to the apartment so there was some noise late at night but it was not disruptive to me or my family.
Don’t bring too many bags if you don’t want to carry them for a mile, but the apartment is a little jewel - very pretty, very well kept, impeccable location just underneath the Alhambra.
Lodging is in historic area of Granada along the Darro. Everything is accessible by foot. Safe and comfortable. Carmen made special dinner recommendations and reservations for us.
