Sergio & Mei's apartment was absolutely perfect for what we wanted; a nice, comfortable place to stay as a family with easy links to the rest of the city. What we hadn't expected was to also be in such a wonderful and vibrant neighbourhood as Gracia!
The apartment is well situated for public transport - very near Joanic station, so easy to get to Pesseig de Gracia, Barecloneta Beach etc - as well as being within walking distance of the Sagrada Familia. Next door is a lovely little bakery (Mon Pa) - and we woke every morning with the smell of fresh, baking bread streaming through the open shutters! Very reasonably priced and good quality. The neighbourhood has many lovely little bars/cafes (Quinoa Bar is a must!), patisserias and supermercats, so has much of what you'd need on your doorstep.
The apartment itself is comfortable; 5 balcony access doors which let cool air through in the heat of the day. The kitchen is simple; well stocked and easily serviceable for a stay in the city. What really makes this apartment is the art; hand painted wall scenes, lots of 'unusual technique ' art images and paintings give it a lovely vibe. Very secure - lots of steps as advertised, but it's good to burn those extra calories!
Mei was very helpful on check in and Sergio was always quick to respond to messages before and during our booking. All in all, very highly recommended! We would certainly come back :)
