Apartment 5.1 (there are several apartments to rent in the building) has a good size, large fully equipped kitchen and bathroom and quite large living room and 1st bedroom. 2nd bedroom is small, but practical. The apartment is beautifully decorated with white/black design furniture and is spotlessly clean. It is well situated, next to the Concepcion old market building, a 20 minute walk from Plaza Catalunya. It is located on a large street though, with considerable traffic and tends to be noisy, even on the 5th streetfloor. If you are a light sleeper, you will suffer from the traffic noise.
Apart from that, everything is great, including the fabulous roof terrace where we sat for (complimentary delicious) breakfast and evening drinks.
From the airport you can best take the RENFE train in terminal 2 and get off at the Passeig de Gracia stop. It’s only 3 blocks from the apartment. You can pay for the train with a T10 card, which you can use for metro and bus in the city.Buy this T10 card at the airport, check at the info stand.
Damien and Katarrolina and the caretaker were very helpful and responded immediately to our questions and needs.
