This flat was a perfect home for our week in Barcelona. The hosts have thought of everything--from cutlery and cups to dish soap and laundry detergent. The terrace areas were lovely and provided great views of the city! Alex met us on our early arrival and let us stow our luggage while the apartment was finished being cleaned and shared some recommendations for food and drinks.
We found the location of the flat to be ideal--close to many of the major sites, a short walk to the metro line and with a supermarket and 24-hour convenient store steps away. The neighborhood doesn't have the touristy feel of the Gothic Quarter, which suited us just fine, and we easily walked to amazing shopping and food within just 1-2 blocks.
The hosts provided plenty of linens, pillows, etc. and the showers had great water pressure. As we have found for most of our European stays, the apartment is more compact than we are used to state-side, but space was used so efficiently and elegantly that we did not feel cramped at all. The outside living spaces were a fantastic bonus, and gave us the opportunity to let fresh air into the apartment and also go outside and enjoy the cool air while in Barcelona.
In short, we had a wonderful experience both in Barcelona and in this flat. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to the city.
