Unbeatable location.
We walked to sagrada familia, Gaudi’s Battlo, Placa de Catalunya, City hall (for watching Flamenco show) and many other must see places.
Took a taxi from the Sants train station to the flat, cost €15 approximately.
Taxi to Barcelona Nord bus station cost €10 approx.
As for the flat:
It has a well equipped kitchen with microwave, kettle , electric hob which you can make basic meals.
Family of 4 can stay easily as it has a one double bed in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the lounge.
Nice little balcony where we had our coffee and breakfast in the morning.
Bathroom can do with some hooks for hanging towels but otherwise big enough.
You need to enter the building with two doors downstairs.
Than there’s another door upstairs which you’ll get a code to enter.
Than there’s the door to the apartment.
It seems a bit confusing at first, so make sure to take notes of the codes.
We felt safe at all times with the kids even when we came late at night from the flamenco show.
Wi-Fi is fast.
Even though there few complications at first, management took care of us and resolved any issues we had.
Little world of warning though; make sure you have Wi-Fi to download the app to get the codes (which in return will release the keys to enter the flat) and make sure to check in online for payment for the city tax.
I made the payment online for Airbnb easily, however my credit card did not work for some reason to pay the city tax, which needs to be paid in advance. We paid €4.40 per night per adult.
Our kids were 11, so they were exempt from this.
There’s many supermarkets, nice places to eat and boutiques nearby within walking distance.
So with kids especially it is a very good location to stay for a few days in Barcelona to see the top sights.
This is my second time in Barcelona and I’d stay here again if I return .
Barcelona is a beautiful city and 3 days were enough for us.
So if you want to save on taxis and metro tickets etc and if you like walking it is the top location to stay.
Happy travels:)))
