My girlfriend and I loved the apartment, which is a loft-like space on the ground floor and has plenty of light with a small patio, should you want to take your coffee outside in the mornings. The area is residential and away from the buzz of the higher-priced central area. The Mercat Nou Metro station is literally steps away from the building and grocery stores (chain and mom/pop), fruit stands, and more abound and the locals’ plaza has cute tapa bar, cafe and pizzeria...a Peruvian cebiceria is not far either and it’s walking distance to Parc Mujic and the spectacular Catalan museum at the top of the hill overlooking the Magic Fountain and Plaza de Espana.
Angeles and her sister Carmen are wonderful hosts and everything is “just so” and they are very responsive, especially when I locked us out of the apartment and they arranged for a locksmith to open the door late on a Saturday night and didn’t break a sweat when I admitted my mistake leaving the key in the door, which makes opening the lock more challenging.
The laundry room is adjacent to the apartment and made our lives so much easier to do laundry every couple of days. The kitchen is fully-equipped and it’s nice that the shower is in a separate room to the WC so that two people can simultaneously get ready or use the facilities without taking turns.
Absolutely loved everything about this fantastic place - location, hosts, amenities and the welcome gift of pastries and wine.
