My husband and I have just returned from a fantastic trip to Barcelona. This was our first visit to the city and I would definitely recommend staying at this apartment.
On arrival, we were welcomed by Ina at the office, which is a just a few doors away from the apartment building. She showed us around the apartment, but also had loads of maps, advice and recommendations depending on what we wanted to do. She also told us the opening hours for the office, which is is open 7 days a weeks and gave us the 24 hour telephone service if we had any problems or questions, which was really helpful.
During the week, we were also able to ask the staff at the office to help with tickets and they also arranged for our taxi to return to the airport.
The apartment is as shown and was very comfortable. It was great to be able to sit out on the terrace. The area is so lovely, mostly families, with lots of little shops, bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk. There is also a supermarket 50m from the building entrance. It was really easy to get about as the bus stop for the hop on hop off tourist bus is 5 min walk away and the metro is 5 min in the opposite direction. We could get into the centre in about 20 min.
Exploring the area, especially in the evenings was lovely, and we felt really safe walking back to the apartment late at night.
All in all we had a great stay and having the office nearby was really helpful. It felt like having all the independence of an airbnb stay with the comfort of a nearby 'concierge' service. I would definitely recommend staying here as you have the best of all worlds.
