Firstly, we cannot say enough about the service and attention we received from 1840 Apartments, it was superb: quick, friendly, and efficient.
Secondly, the flat was perfect. In our party, there were four adults, and two young boys (5 and 7)…they loved the middle bedroom ! The kitchen, bathrooms, washing and drying machines were clean, well laid out, and in great working order. The two larger bedrooms had plenty of storage, and the beds were very comfortable. There was lots of room for all of us to relax in the living room. The TV and internet worked well, no issues at all.
Thirdly, the location was also perfect for us. It was our first time in Barcelona, so we wanted to be somewhere close to the more popular areas (namely, Born, the Gothic, and the Old quarters, all within a minute or two). The beach was a 15 minute walk, la Rambla was 10 mins, and we even walked to Sagrada Familia…not close, but a doable 40 minutes. We walked everywhere, so we just kept walking…there and back!
The surrounding bars are all popular, and you can occasionally hear the music from the outside. When the windows are closed, the noise from the street is virtually shut out. It was not an issue for us, we all slept very well.
None of us would hesitate to recommend this apartment, and we would gladly stay here again !
