The apartment is in a perfect location if you're looking for the ideal base to discover the city, as it is just minutes from Placa Catalunya and Passeig de Gracia . The apartment is clean and well appointed with everything you need for your stay, even English teabags in the cupboard.! We were suspicious that some clever photography tricks might have been used for the rooftop swimming pool shots, but I'm pleased to say it's genuinely a proper swimming pool, with a good size deck where there are 4 sun loungers plus extra space to put a towel down on the ground. This area gets the sun all day, so ideal if you want to top up your tan. There is also additional terrace space on the opposite side of the building where there is a table and chairs - it's a nice quiet spot if you want to read or eat outside. The apartment itself doesn't unfortunately have any outdoor space so this rooftop terrace is probably good if you're a smoker or want to eat al fresco. All in all, a great first time AirBnB experience! Emanuele is a great host who shared some great tips when we checked in, and is very accessible throughout the stay. Highly recommended.
