We spent an enjoyable three weeks in the apartment during August.

The location is very convenient, a short walk from two metro stations and the Sagrada Familia. We also used the 55 bus from Passeig de Sant Joan to get to Plaza de Catalunya and Montjuic. We shopped at several nearby markets (Abaceria, Concepcio and Libertat). It was a great base to explore the Gracia neighbourhood, which was particularly lively in mid-August during the Festa Major.

The apartment itself is comfortable with an original layout, in a building with character (although the entrance hall and stairway could do with renovating). We found that it was not quite as bright as in the photos, although in the summer heat this meant that the rooms stayed reasonably cool and we did not have to use the air conditioning. As other guests have mentioned, the terrace is one of the best features and we frequently relaxed and ate outside to the sound of the bells chiming from the Sagrada Familia. Angel and his colleagues were welcoming and responsive before and during our stay.
