This was our second stay at a Vokel luxury suite via AirBnB, and I was very glad we didn't try to book another place. The Madrid apartments were such a nice change from the previously drafty apartment in our 1st leg of vacation!
All good things to mention. We were 200m away from the subway which we took very often to get to the Gothic Quarter. Barcelona's subway system was how we managed to get around for the majority of our time during this leg of the journey so we really appreciated how close and easily accessible it was.
Walking around the city was also a treat as we saw a few Gaudi buildings and were able to stumble across small restaurants and bars close by. If you need a COVID test for travel, there's also one conveniently around the corner. In this day, that's a really huge plus!
We had a suite that was facing the Gran Via and at first I was concerned but the glass doors they had installed muffled the street sounds really well! When you open the doors, you can immediately hear the difference, but at that point, you're opting into taking in the bustling thoroughfare.
Would highly recommend!!
