I am your typical 44-year-old male that moans about everything that's wrong in the world, I want everything to be perfect and it just doesn't happen - except this time! This is my all time favourite accommodation from start to finish. It was 100% perfect, it is an amazing apartment inside and out with plenty of space, bedrooms and all of the essentials you need. For me, the kitchen was also a great size with a central island prepare food. They had put nibbles and drinks in the fridge and front room shelf (like a mini bar - chargeable) which was low cost but so so handy when you are peckish or thirsty.
The location was great too, I am a proper foodie and i have to say that local restaurants to the property were great (try Casa Alfonso) and it was a short walk to the Gothic area via PASSATGE SERT which I found the alleyway by chance and the Picasso Museum.
Then walking the opposite direction was a 5 min walk to EL Nacional and the main shopping district for all designer shops on the way to the rather hectic La Rambla...I took a half day cooking class and market tour from the Bear on Bike Cafe/Restaurant/Private chefs.
Worth noting..everyone seems to stay in the city, but there are good restaurants to be found right near the beach such as the rooftop restaurant Blue Spot and then further along the coast such as Bestial.
I hope this helps someone else have as much fun as i did.
