This is a superb apartment. The photos are accurate and give an impression, but they cannot really represent the location which is almost next to the Mandarin Oriental hotel on Passeig de Gracia. As the loft apartment, the view from the balcony and the large windows is comprehensive. But with full shutters, all noise and light can be excluded - and the skylights in the bedroom are excellent too.
There is a totally separate kitchen with all the necessary tools - and it's big!
Txell communicated promptly and well. We never met her as her father gave us access - again promptly and efficiently.
All the furnishings are top quality. The TV has basic cable and is also connected to the internet.
The building is modern and has nighttime security. Taxis are available at the door as is the metro.
Really you could not get an equivalent hotel for twice the price.
This is on my list of apartments to which I will certainly return.
