Had a wonderful 6 nights in this apartment. First the most important thing...big thanks to Toni, great service! It gives a good secure feeling right from the first moment when you know you can get help when needed, 24/7.
Apartment:
- very clean
- through house apartment, compact, very functional layout where all space is very effectively used. 2 toilets/showers is a must at this apartment has it. Layout is long and narrow and it gives some extra privacy, living room at the other end and 3 bedrooms at the other end, and small kitchen in between. By opening doors in both ends you can ventilate the whole apartment.
- all amenities available, nothing missing
- aircon functioned well
- beautiful little balcony ( for 2 persons beside the living room) gets morning, day, afternoon sun and opens up to Carrer de la Concordia, which is a silent street with very limited trafic
- french balcony in the main bedroom opens up a cozy view to the inner courtyard
- there is a lift in the house
- as always in apartment buildings you can hear some daily life from other apartments but during the night time it was very silent
Location:
- is not as busy ( which is positive) as the surrounding areas but the location is perfect, 100 m metro, buses, taxi. You can hire a citybike for one month with 9 EUR ( Donkey Republic) and tour the surroundings. Taxi to the Barcelonetta beach will cost you ca 7 eur one way. And it's beside Montjuic,,,from where you can enjoy breathtaking views to the harbour and over the city.
- its worth mentioning that taxi system in Barcelona is very good and reliable, yellow/black taxis are all over easily available, they have std fares so no surprises
- ca 20 min to the Airport by taxi
- good restaurants are all over, I would dare to suggest not to head immediately to the restaurant street ( Carrer de Blai), instead study the tabernas, tapas etc other restaurants that are very local and very near.
Looking forward to our next visit:)
