This apartment is placed in the perfect spot in Barcelona- it’s right off one of the main streets, a 3 minute walk to Carrer de Blai (a street that is nothing but restaurants and bars), and a 20 minute walk to the Gothic Quarter. If I would go to Barcelona again, I would try to get this apartment or an apartment close to this exact area. The place is almost exactly as pictured. It is a little loud in the “orange” room, as you can hear the bar get a little rowdy downstairs, but it didn’t keep me up. Just keep it in mind if you’re extremely sensitive to noise. The 2nd room was pretty quiet. The apartment is on the 5th floor with no elevator, but honestly, you’re walking everywhere in Barcelona, this is just another thing you gotta conquer. Right across the street is a little market to buy groceries, and a 5 minute walk on the main street leads you to a bigger one. Being really close to a busy street was great, since it made it easy to hail cabs and there was an ATM nearby. Wi-Fi in the apartment works great, there is an iron, and there were all the necessary cooking utensils. Alex was waiting for us when we came to Barcelona, and took us on a little tour of the place. IMPORTANT- make them show you how to unlock the door, and then you try it yourself! Alex explained to us, and then left, and when we tried to come home the next time, we were locked out for 10 minutes, until luckily, a neighbor came home and showed us how to. I would definitely recommend the apartment to my friends and family!
