We couldn't have chosen a better place than Sidney's appartment for our first time in Barcelona. The appartement is very central- easy access to and from the airport, close to a metro line and bus line: it was the ideal location for our first visit to Barcelona. You can easily access the main touristic sites, and the beach (15 minutes by metro, a little more by bus depending on the traffic). If you want to go out at night, you are 5 minutes walk away from Place Catalunya where shuttles bring you to the different night clubs. Taxis back to the flat are not very expensive either (we paid 10€ max each time we took a taxi back, for a 15 minutes ride)
We had rented only the bedroom for 3 and had enough space of our stuff (we were 3 girls, each with enough clothes for at least a week!). My friends had the king size bed and i slept on the sofa bed which was very comfortable. The room is very spacious and clean, with a chest of drawers and a fan (which was much appreciated). The flat has a main bathroom with a toilet and a second seperate toilet which is very convenient.
We shared the flat with Sidney, but he was very discreet and at the same time available when needed (sorry again for flooding your bathroom:p) and very polite. We had access to all parts of the flat and felt very at ease. Breakfast every morning on the terrace was just heaven!
We also really appreciated the cleanliness of the flat: during our 4 days there no one would have guessed that 4 people were living under the same roof!
The flat is very nicely decorated, and always smells good inside!
I would without hesitation recommend Sidney's flat. Our stay there was among the good thing that contributed to the wonderful experience we had in Barcelona.
Thanks again to Sidney for having been so helpful especially before the trip, answering to my several email... and despite our flight delay, for having arranged for us to get the keys (thanks again to Sam as well, despite his bad sense of orientation ;)).
I fell in love with Barcelona and can't wait to go back soon- and stay at Sidney's place of course!
