We are a family of 5 (Husband, Wife, 7 year old twins and, infant) and, Reyes' place was the perfect home base for us during our stay in Barcelona. The location was great for walking to key neighborhoods in the city like the Marina, Las Ramblas, El Born, Plaza Catalunya and, various metro stations. We would definitely recommend the T70 Multi-Person transit card for families! It was essential for getting us around the further neighborhoods (Plasseig Gracias and the Sagrada Famlia, for example) and, back to the Airport.
We ate breakfast/brunch (when the restaurants were less crowded) in the small courtyard right outside our door. And, enjoyed local live music in the same spot each night. If you or your children have trouble sleeping with noise, it was a little louder than we are used to, living in the suburbs ourselves. But, is similar to what can be expected staying in any large city. There was nightly noise until about 2:00am but, it didn't affect our family too much.
The apartment itself had everything we needed and, a great design. We loved staying in such a historic neighborhood and building. And, loved the exposed 1,000 year old stone walls! We expected to utilize the kitchen more than we did but, ended up only using the fridge to keep our waters cold. We ate out for every meal and, purchased fruit and snacks from the local markets, for our walks.
If you decide to book with Reyes, we hope you enjoy your trip as much as we did!
