What a fantastic find this apartment was! Located so close to all the best parts of the city and a perfect base for those wanting to experience the authentic Barcelona. 20mins walk to Sagrada Familia, 20mins to the Gothic Quarter and Las Ramblas, 15mins from the beachfront promenade and, for those like us that prefer to walk everywhere, a good 60 min walk to Parc Guell. In 3 days we clocked up over 25miles (40km)...Barcelona is a great walking city!
The apartment was perfect, decorated with lots of lovely personal touches for that truly homely vibe. We only used the master bedroom and this was very nice. The kitchen had everything needed for a short or extended stay, with everything spotlessly clean and easy to find. The bathroom has a nice shower and the living rooms and balcony are lovely places to occupy when you're not out seeing the city.
Downstairs, beneath the apartment is a great little local espresso bar & cafe. Ideal for a shot before you go out to explore. The lady who runs it has limited English but she is lovely and friendly and makes a pretty good espresso!
The hosts were also fantastic with great communication. Eduardo met us at the apartment on time and was really welcoming and friendly. A nice guy with a good sense of humour who was happy to assist us with a few things as required. A pleasure to have met him and stayed at this wonderful apartment. A highly recommended place.
