We loved staying in this flat during our time in Barcelona. The recent renovations were great and despite being a studio, the space felt open & airy-my husband and I never felt like we were tripping over each other even with all of our luggage. We didn't use the kitchen much (except for the Nespresso machine, that was a big hit), but it was very well stocked and we easily could have done some cooking. I communicated with Juan Carlos who was so kind, so helpful throughout our stay. He took care of everything and, though we didn't have any issues, I know he would have easily taken care of it if we had. He provided a booklet with recommendations that was awesome-it was incredibly helpful in guiding our trip and finding places to eat and things to do. We always felt safe in the neighborhood-lots of restaurants and little stores for anything you might need. The six flights of stairs is no joke--but you'll just feel like you earned your tapas :) Quiet yet in the middle of things, only a couple of metro stops from both the beach & the Gothic quarter. Not to mention the incredible view from the balcony-it really will make those stairs worth it! We would absolutely come back here if we return to Barcelona!!
