This apartment is all we needed. The location is just a short walk to the Sagrada Familia. Beds were comfortable. The twin bedroom is a tight fit but it worked for us. If you have assessability issues, there is a small step up and down to get in. The elevator is in good working order.
Everything we could need was in 2 square blocks of the apartment.
I was delighted to find a gluten free mini grocery with fresh baked goods only a block and a half away. I can’t get chocolate dipped croissants at home anywhere. Guess what I ate for breakfast for the few days we were there?!
There is a boulevard in the middle of the very quiet street the apartment is on and the restaurants and bakeries had tables there. The food and atmosphere was fabulous. We ate outside on the boulevard day and night in October.
The apartment has most amenities you could want including a washing machine. There is no dryer or dishwasher. We didn’t need a dishwasher. There is a drying rack which worked fine.
From the Juliette balcony, we could see the Sagrada Familia. Make sure you book a tour. It’s well worth it. On the weekend there was a market that started at the Sagrada Familia and went on for blocks. It’s not on the apartment street.
To our surprise one night there was a gathering and what unfolded was a parade celebrating the neighborhood. It’s a close knit community. They were all having fun dancing down the street in costume, some with giant spinning sparklers.
We did the hop on hop off bus to know where things were in the city. We fell in love with Barcelona and the location and surroundings of the apartment was a big part of that.
