We met with Tony, the apartment manager, and were well received and made very welcome. He answered all of our questions and took the time to show us any nuance from how to operate the stove to the window/door latches, operating the heaters, etc.

The unit well matched the pictures and was very cozy and clean. Its location was also well described as being just a bit removed in a calmer neighborhood (Eixample) but very convenient and accessible to the central Placa de Catalunya of Barcelona (about 25 minutes by foot or a 5-10 minute walk to Hospital Clinic or Urgell subway stops and another 10 minute ride from there). Being so close to bus/subway stations, we found the T-10 pass very useful.

Even though we had colder weather for our Barcelona week (from 3 to 11 on average) the heater in the bedroom and downstairs worked well. Furthermore, the unit seemed to retain the heat especially well upon returning in the evening even after unplugging each heater during the day. I think from reading other reviews we were prepared for about 20-25 minutes of what we considered "hot" water in the shower (slightly less than we ourselves are used to) but not a problem if you anticipate and plan for it.

Overall, thank you for a lovely stay and a great place to explore a beautiful city!
