We had a MAGICAL and enriching experience exploring Barcelona during our 6-day visit! We HIGHLY recommend Jepis's apartment. The location in Eixample was absolutely ideal for our family. We enjoyed walking everywhere and loved the wide streets and beautiful lighting. We felt totally at ease walking along the elegant streets at night as well. The apartment is right next to Passeig de Gracia and Casa Batllo. We walked to El Born, Gracia, The Gothic Quarter.....
The metro was also just around the corner and super convenient!
The apartment is beautiful, bright and large. There is impressive handcrafted wooden cabinetry throughout the apartment, high ceilings and great views of the city!
Jepis was a wonderful host and great communicator before and during our stay. We did a day trip to Girona and Jepis gave helpful suggestions for that as well.
We would like to recommend some of our favorite places and experiences:
Walking distance from the apartment, we discovered the BEST bread at:
Baluard Barceloneta bakery. The baguette was amazing.
Vinitus tapas (just next door) was excellent.
Incredible gelato at Anita in Gracia
Hofmann’s in El Born for croissants!! Off the charts!
Fargo Cafe close to Sagrada Familia (10-min walk) - the avocado toast!!
Tapas at Bodega Biarritz - great ambiance and delicious, in the Gothic Quarter
Musta Kabob - the best shawarma pitas!!!
Experiences:
