Simply the best!
From the start when I booked Flor’s apartment until we left, Flor and Santi made us feel welcomed and relaxed. Their communication was fast and attentive. We arrived hours before check-in time and were extremely fortunate to have the apartment ready early! Santi was waiting for is at the apartment when we arrived to welcome us in person and tell us about the neighbourhood.
We were a family of 5 adults, space was more than big enough for all of us. Apartment is old (but that’s basically all of Barcelona) but clean and up to date. They had thoughtful items such as water, soft drinks, and beer in the fridge, coffee, tea and milk provided, and the kitchen had most necessities needed for cooking decent meals.
Beds were comfortable and clean. 2 towels per guest were provided. Different types of pillows for different sleeping styles.
Pleasant surprise was the huge terrace which is still in the works but had a large dining table which we sat and had our coffees every morning.
Location is about 10mins walk from Sagrada Familia, 15min from Placa de Catalunya. We walked all the way to Barceloneta beach. Perfect for walking everywhere or if you can’t walk far, many metro stops, and abundance of available taxis. Many great restaurants are nearby as well.
The only tiny thing that could’ve been better is that there weren’t shampoos or conditioners provided which we didn’t mind since we had our own. They had plenty of hotel-like one time use shower gel packets and mini bar soaps so one could use them instead if you aren’t fussy.
Overall, this apartment is amazing in terms of location, safety, space, and cleanliness. I’ve stayed at many AirBnBs and can definitely say this was one of the best, you can tell it is very well run. I would most certainly be using this place again if I come back to Barcelona.
Muchas Gracias Flor and Santi!!
