We absolutely loved our stay in this stunning apartment. It was just the perfect base from which to easily experience Barcelona. Literally 5-10 mins walk from the Urgell metro station and just before that is a great supermarket with all you need - we often called in on the walk home to pick something up - and very easy access by taxi to and from the airport. (20 mins; 25 euros). We walked right from the apartment to Plaça Catalunya and down the Ramblas to the port which did not feel too far - took maybe 40 mins - also to the Placa España; 20 mins. It felt extremely spacious for two of us - even luxurious, having and air conditioned bedroom each onto the balcony and a bathroom each; so comfortable, stylish, safe and just a beautiful place to relax in. Agus' easy, friendly check in with all the information was so welcoming and helpful. Some great recommendations for places to eat locally. We especially appreciated the quick responses by WhatsApp by Agus to a couple of questions we had out there, which made us feel very secure and looked after.
A lasting memory will be sitting out on the (cute little) balcony in the morning sun, afternoon shade eating tapas with a glass of Cava or the warm dark evening watching the moon rise over the lovely old apartment blocks in this stylish residential district. It is quite noisy but really not bad for being in a city and just makes you feel like you're in the midst of it all in a good people-watching way; it did not disturb our sleep as the balcony doors are remarkably noise reducing.
The kitchen is small but well supplied with all you need for cooking basic meals and although we didn't use it in the end, the washer dryer is also a real bonus to have.
The entrance is super secure - main door and then an inner glass door which both lock. The apartment itself feels very safe and is really quiet, you would not know you are in an apartment block.
Do not hesitate to book this, you will not be disappointed! We will be back one day we hope..!
Thank you Agus and Eli.
