It was great! My family house was quite a walk. The apartment I lived in was right next to the university and was very cheap and the landlord was amazing.

Personal comments
Granada 10 and Camborio were great discos at night. The Alhambra is a must! Also, if you are there in June the Corpus Christi Festival was amazing. Granada is known for its free tapas (with a drink). The Arab baths are also a must, for 16 Euros, if you are a student you get a 15 minute massage and an hour and a half in hot tubs of all different temperatures.
