Fantastically authentic central Barcelona apartment with great location just a few minutes from all the vibrancy of La Ramblas and the Gothic quarter. Plenty of local amenties for supplies (supermarket, baker and cafes galour). We took a night bus tour of the city which really provides you with an overview of how much there is to explore in Barcelona. The nearby foodhall, La Boqueria, is a must for breakfast or lunch and the Placa Real served well for evening meals, all within 15 minutes from the apartment.
The apartment was clean and the beds comfortable, in fact much better that those we had in our villa the following week! The fridge is really useful for cold water/ snacks. The rooms have fans, one that also doubles as an A/C, which is great and if you remember to close all the shutters before you go out for the day the rooms stay quite comfortable in 32C + temperatures. Note, Spanish second floor sort of means third floorand a bit, so if you are carrying large baggage be prepared, no lift.
Communication with our Hosts was great. Unfortunately, we did not get to meet them as they were on vacation but cousin Maya stepped in and did them proud. She kept in touch with us on a regular basis and helped with directions, tips and transport.
Myself, my wife and two teens thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to those looking for an authentic Barcelona city experience.
