Hello!
My mom and I really enjoyed our stay and made good use of the books available on Barcelona. That really helped us identify some options for our trip and navigate the city.
The location is great and most places we went to were within a 30- 40 minute walking distance and of eating isn’t your thing, you can purchase a 2,3,4 or 5 day metro ticket that will allow you to get around the city very well by various methods. This pass will also get you to and from the airport so I’d highly recommend it.
The view is really nice from the terrace. This is why I chose the place! I wanted to spend as much time just relaxing with coffee in the morning and wine or cava at night. We were there in early February so it was a little chillier and windy so we didn’t spend as much time as I hoped out there.
A couple of thoughts for your consideration to ensure all have a great stay. The coffee machine available is a Nespresso and only two capsules were provided for our 5 night stay. I was told that I could buy another brand as long as it was the right size, but I’m not familiar with the options and I did t want to buy the wrong size. There are coffee places all around but I was disappointed that I couldn’t make coffee right at home.
We did use the second room which is not very sound proof. I would highly recommend bringing earplugs for your stay. The neighbor had quite loud snoring and slept with the tv on during some nights.
Lastly, there was a very horrible smell in the apartment. The smell was very strong and unpleasant. We tried purchasing some spray and opening the windows every day but it never went away. I shared this with the owner so hopefully that will be remedied and you won’t have to worry about it for your stay.
I hope you find this information helpful for your stay!
