OVERVIEW: We loved it! A great location in a place that felt like home for a few days. The only downside was that we only had 3 nights and wish we'd stayed longer! Highly recommended!
PROS: We wanted to be near to Sagrada Familia and the apartment was barely a 10-minute walk away! We were delighted to be so near and spent our first night sat outside a great little Spanish/Italian Restaurant (Tuscania - highly recommend) over the road from the incredible site. The check-in was seamless, co-host Moonhee had been great at communicating and Rosa (who checked us into the apartment) was extremely helpful. We settled in quickly and felt right at home. The kitchen was fitted with all the appliances we needed and the living space had a rack full of maps and guidebooks which were really helpful. The bathroom though small, was perfectly adequate for us and the bedroom was spacious with a wonderfully comfortable bed - we slept so well! We were able to do laundry there easily and there was a supermarket right around the corner. The apartment is near to the Metro line so getting around was easy enough if we wanted to go further afield. The apartment is on the 4th floor (which in Barcelona is actually 6th - ground, pre-1st, 1, 2, 3, 4!) - there is a lift but we took the stairs to try and work off paella and delicious cava we enjoyed!
CONS: Not many, more constructive criticism than anything. A little welcome book with instructions would have been helpful. We weren't sure if we needed to take the trash out at the end and it took a while to figure out the stove top (you need to hold down the power button before it comes on). If a little welcome book was available then perhaps these things could be in it. Otherwise really no cons at all!
We loved it and wish we'd had longer. Would we stay again? ABSOLUTELY!
