Marcello's apartment was such a wonderful place the stay! The apartment is spacious, homely and well equipped for everything you might need. Both the terrace and the balcony are lovely to sit on morning, afternoon and night.
The location of the apartment is fantastic too. It is in the Gracia area, which feels like a small town in itself. There are plenty of shops nearby for the essentials, as well as bakeries and a gelato shop. Just around the corner is a gorgeous little square with a selection of bars, offering great food and drink. We spent several evenings here surrounded by locals and lovely staff! The apartment is just a 15 minute walk to Park Güell, a 20 minute walk to La Sagrada Familia and a walk of about 50 minutes to the Gothic Quarter.
Marcello was easy to get in contact with regarding any queries or questions and was a great help!
If you are a light sleeper or not used to the noise of the city then I recommend bringing ear plugs along. I did so due to another review suggesting it and was so glad it did, it helped my sleep through the usual rumble of cities which I am far from used to!
Staying here will be an absolute treat and I highly recommend it. If I come to Barcelona again, I will return to this apartment 😊
