Renovated properties in Russafa are a bit of a mixed bag. They can all start to look very similar on Idealista, and lately we have to check which photos are real, and which are AI. But that’s what you have us for, to sift out the rubbish and the deception and take you directly to the good stuff.

As in the case of this 3rd floor apartment. These photos are real although to be honest I did have to double check. it just really is this nice. It has east-west orientation, for that legendary cross flow of air. Having just experienced what could be the hottest June on record, do not take things like this for granted. It’s on the southern side of Russafa (the quieter less touristy side). Only 5 minutes from the market, and about ten from the riverbed.

This property has been freshly renovated. The distribution changed to move the bedrooms to the back off the street, and a large open kitchen and living area. There is a balcony out onto the street, and off the main bedroom there is a larger balcony/terrace. Ok, you might not be having dinner parties off your bedroom, but you would certainly sit out there yourself with a coffee/beer/drop of poitín.

Three bedrooms, all with air conditioning. And yes they heat as well before you ask but you probably won’t need that unless you are planning to go back to 2015. There are 2 full bathrooms including one master bathroom and overall a very classy quality of renovation. I really can’t fault this property, if you are looking for a ready to go apartment in Russafa, you won’t do better.
