The apartment is exactly as detailed on Airbnb, and is perfectly situated for walking around the city. There is everything you need provided and the washing machine is useful, particularly if you’re only taking carry on luggage and dribble your food. For the person who complained about “99 steps” up to the apartment I would say that there are actually 95 steps, and we had no issues with the climb, and I’ll be 60 years old later this year.
We travelled to and from the airport using the airport bus which takes you to Plaça Catalunya which is a 10min stroll down La Rambla, and we could walk to most major sites in the city. For those places further afield we purchased a two day hop-on hop-off bus ticket from Barcelona City Tours, tickets for which we got cheaper on the bus.
I can’t praise Flavio and Ivan enough for their helpfulness and friendliness and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the apartment to anyone planning to visit Barcelona.
