Such a great apartment to come back to every day! It was very easy to reach by taxi from the airport and we were met upon arrival by someone to let us in and show us around. A small elevator helped us get the luggage up to the third story. We were very pleased to find that the apartment's windows face a charming courtyard with a small park and a picturesque water tower. All of the noise and pollution from Barcelona's busy streets are replaced by the sound of birds and playing children. On warmer days the double pane windows close tightly and a very quiet and powerful air conditioner keep the whole apartment cool and dry. We stayed with two kids and everyone had their own room with excellent beds, and there was even an extra space with a bed to relax on during the day. The two bathrooms were modern and clean with excellent showers with proper doors that close and keep the water where it belongs. The washing machine served us well and there were options for hanging clothes to dry inside our outside of the windows. We cooked several meals and found the kitchen well equipped with stove, oven, microwave, toaster, water boiler, and nespresso coffee maker.
The location of the apartment is fantastic. Only a few minutes walk to Case Milo and Casa Battlo and still walking distance to the Sagrada Familia and the gothic quarter. Several nearby metro stations are easy to reach for longer trips.
Two blocks away we found a very large covered market and supermarket, and nearer by there are ample bakeries, small supermarkets and restaurants. We rented a car from one of several nearby SIXT auto rental offices and continued our trip and left with very happy memories of our stay in Barcelona. I highly recommend that you rent this flat for your next trip.
