"Duplex Terrace" is an exceptionally bright, split-level apartment decorated in contemporary style on the top floor of a building located on lively Plaza Nueva, in the very heart of old Granada.
On the lower level is the living-dining space. The highlight of the apartment is undoubtedly the large double-glazed glass wall which gives plenty of light and breathtaking, wide views over Plaza Nueva, up towards the Alhambra to the right, the Albaicín and Sacromonte to the left. There is a large glass door leading onto the private balcony with plants and seating.
Furnishing includes a white leather sofa, a glass dining table and four chairs. There is air conditioning and electric radiators for the colder weather. The kitchen also forms part of the living area, and has a microwave and washing-machine. At the foot of the stairs to the upper level is the bathroom, with shower and a heated towel-rail.
On the upper level is the sleeping area, with a double bed (1,40 x 1,90), desk and flat-screen TV. The fort of the Alhambra can be seen from the two velux windows above the bed.
The apartment has been cleverly designed with great attention to detail by its architect owner. Original artwork and sculpture and modern furniture give a contemporary feel. It forms part of a building, fully refurbished in 2012 which comprises this apartment and 4 studios. There is an elevator, though please note that it only reaches the 4th floor. The apartment is on the 5th and is reached by 2 flights of stairs. Not suitable for children or babies.
Plaza Nueva is a lovely open square in the very heart of the old city of Granada. It is at the meeting point of the Albaicín, Realejo and Centro neighbourhoods. From here you take Cuesta Gomerez, a steep street, to reach the Alhambra.
It was built in the 16th Century to cover over the River Darro at a point where there were several bridges which were unable to cope with all of the traffic going up and down to the Alhambra. Plaza Nueva was so named (New Square) as it was the first to be built by Christians in the city. It became the site of popular tournaments, bull fights and even public executions!
Today the square still plays an important part in Granada's daily life. The terrace bars make a good spot to spend time relaxing after a day's tourism or perhaps to summon up the strength for the climb up to the Albaicin or Alhambra while contemplating some of the lovely architecture.

Review for a stay in May 2013 - Ann, Geraldton (Australia)
This is a fantastic place to stay in Granada. Very comfortable for sleeping which is a plus in Spain as many beds are rock hard and the pillows are massive. Here they have got it right. Double glazed windows. So close to all the historical attractions and also a tourist information centre next to the church in Plaza Nueva , make sure this is your first stop and ask lots of questions. Ie bus number to the Alhambra.. roughly a 15/20 min walk, all up hill & Steps to the Alhambra. Back to the apartment, make sure you practise getting In and out of your apartment door while your host is there, please get them to show you and then do ityourself , It will save a lot of problems later ( carry the contact details with you).
Take a small torch or always put a light on when going downstairs in the dark as they are very steep.

We absolutely loved this apartment. It was hard to leave the great deck and fabulous views to go touring. We had an email glitch with our arrival and everyone was so helpful and accommodating with our error. We hope to come back with friends and rent 3 apartments. Cannot give enough positive input.

outstanding ! we absolutely loved the apartment. the location was easy to find and ver central to everything we wanted to do in Grenada. More than this it allowed us to feel part of very day life from the wonderful balcony, enjoy cooking some food from the markets and relax while still taking in the scene. Everything about this property makes it an excellent choice for a visit to Grenada for a couple.

GREAT location with fantastic views of the Alhambra! And the terrace overlooking the plaza is great for sunrises, sunsets, and any other time. But the apartment would not work for folks that have been supersizing! Also, probably not suitable for folks who cannot traverse steep stairs to the bedroom.
Great service as we needed a late checkout due to an evening hotel train to Barcelona which was accomodated. Would recommend to friends and relatives.

Overall we were really impressed with the apartment and the view was amazing. I thought perhaps it was beginning to look a little tired (in terms of marks on walls and slightly stained sheets) but that said we were still very impressed with the views and the overall look of the apartment.
