The apartment was wonderful. It is huge-- besides the three bedrooms and one and a half baths, there is a kitchen, a spacious dining room, and a living area. We had six people and were very comfortable. But the wrap-around balcony is the best-- it couldn't have a better view of the Sagrada Familia. The location is great-- there is a metro station right outside but it is also located on a nice walking street with nearby restaurants and shops. We walked to a number of other places in town as well.
The apartment is well-equipped with kitchenware and with great beds and lots of towels. The kitchen has a full sized refrigerator and nice stove with coffee and tea pots and more. There are some seasonings, oil, coffee, tea and other amenities. The laundry room has good instructions, washing soap, and both inside and outside hanging space for laundry.
Everything was clean and well-decorated.
We didn't meet Alfred, but his wife Pastora couldn't have been kinder or more accommodating. We arrived in Barcelona on Friday at rush hour and got a little turned around-- she waited very patiently for us to arrive late and then showed me all around the apartment. After we left, she realized we had forgotten some laundry in the washing machine; she contacted me and then met me several days later when we returned to Barcelona with nice and folded laundry. She was just so helpful and never acted like we were inconveniencing her!
The wi fi worked well. There is paid parking nearby. Everything was easy and convenient.
I could not recommend this apartment more highly. The view is beautiful, the apartment is beautiful and we had a wonderful time. It is perfect for a family or group of 6 or even 7 people.
