The Central Townhouse in Barcelona was even better than we had expected, the hosts were excellent in every way and also very accommodating. The property has great elegance to it, huge spacious rooms and a location you can't beat in L'eixample, Barcelona, Spain.

When you enter the town home you are greeted by Joy, the caretaker. She is caring, kind and thoughtful. Joy keeps the property literally spotless! In fact, the property is one of the cleanest we have ever stayed in. Since Joy lives in a different part of the property you barely notice when she is in. She was truly pleasant to interact with and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Her breakfasts were also great.

The host, Pau, was very helpful throughout our stay. The checked with us through email and stopped by the house to meet, speak with us and ensure our stay was comfortable. He was pleasant and sincere in his desire to ensure our stay was fantastic.

The house itself was amazing. The first floor of the house is filled with large rooms. The dinning room has nice views to the garden and the quiet street. The great room is very large with high ceilings and has a library along the back wall. The library is filled with DVD movies you can enjoy in the great room with the home theater. There is also a half bath on the first floor.

There are 3 bedrooms in the lower floor, all well appointed with ample closet space. You can tell the owners went to extensive lengths to consider the needs of the guest in selecting such roomy and well appointed closets and furniture. In the master bedroom, the bathroom has two sinks and an extremely large jetted tub. The second bedroom has it’s own spacious bathroom and there is a half bath in the hallway. The Kitchen, with everything you need to cook and dine, is also located in this lower floor. We did not use the fourth bedroom in the basement.

If you need a reprieve from being inside there is a large rooftop deck and patio that extends from the front to the back of the house. The rooftop provides nice views of the neighborhood. The patio also offers upscale furniture to sit and enjoy an evening drink. Evenings up in the rooftop were a nice way to end our days after all the activities in Barcelona.

The neighborhood surrounding the house was filled with some of the best restaurants and shopping in Barcelona. It was also only blocks from the main square, from where many tour buses depart. Finally, there are many supermarkets including two (2) amazing organic stores within blocks.

In summary, we found the property to be one of the best we have stayed in and the service to be superior. Combined with the outstanding location, this was one of the best experiences we have had traveling. We would highly recommend this property to anyone.
