Went to Barcelona with eight lads aged 21 for a weekend away. Ricardo was very accommodating by meeting us later in the evening in order to check in and even when our flight was delayed this wasn’t a problem at all. Ricardo was very friendly and trusting which was great. His only asks were pretty much don’t break anything, be quiet on the stairs and take out the rubbish when leaving.
The house itself was great and well-furnished to be fair. One large room with a king sized bed and three singles and en suite. It had a balcony overlooking the outside street and was very big. There was a large main bathroom which again was perfect and had a big walk in shower. There were two other single rooms which were nice and another room with a double bed which was perfect. Slept the 8 of us no problem. The living room is big open plan with a large table, sofa and TV. The kitchen is ideal with large fridge, also had other kitchen essentials.
Location is great. The apartment has a 24 hour shop with an off-license literally under it and is very cheap. Taxi from airport was 20 mins (10 euro max between 4). Taxis to clubs were less than a tenner (2 euro each) pretty much. To the beach a taxi is no more than 15 euro.
We often came in early morning, no complaints from neighbours at all and the heavy front door makes it near impossible to hear noise from outside. Renovation works are being carried out in the reception area at the moment so the place should only improve over time as well. We were supposed to check out at 11am Sunday morning however, Ricardo knew we were out night before so allowed us to stay until that evening before our flight.
For any group going away to Barca for a weekend of clubbing etc… This apartment is ideal and value for money. Has everything you need and Ricardo is a top man too. 5 out of 5.
