This large apartment is centrally located and within easy walking distance of many popular attractions- across the street from Casa Batlló, a few blocks north of Plaça de Catalunya and the top of the Ramblas, 20 minute walk to the Picasso Museum and all that the Gothic Quarter has to offer. The numerous balconies provide views over Passeig de Gràcia and light into the living area- the sizable dining table being a plus for anyone traveling as a family who may want to cook dinner in the well appointed kitchen (We were a bit short on wine glasses, but if that is a real concern for anyone I am sure that more could be arranged).
Check in was smooth- we paid an additional fee to be allowed in the apartment on Christmas Eve morning after landing from a redeye, and everyone was responsive and on time to let us in. We had an issue with the water in the apartment building during our stay- no fault of the owners, but it did put two of the four bathrooms out of commission temporarily. The owners and property managers were very helpful in trying to get the problem resolved as quickly as possible, and when it proved impossible to do so by the time we left, they arranged a private chef to cook dinner on New Year's Eve to help compensate. While missing the two bathrooms made the apartment a bit tight, the gesture was greatly appreciated.
