Lovely apartment in the perfect location for exploring Barcelona. It's worth highlighting some of the key things I look for in reviews before booking:
- We could drop out bags off at their office which was a two-minute walk away whilst waiting for check-in
- We were able to check-in over an hour early
- Really comfy beds and pillows
- Quiet neighbourhood to allow for a good sleep
- Lift to help get luggage to your room (we stayed on the top floor)
- Email and WhatsApp communication before and during our stay with everything needed to know upfront
Ultimately you're probably ony there to sleep in between sightseeing and heading out for the evening so as it's got comfy beds nothing more you could need. It has a decent hair dryer, big fridge, good iron and ironing board, loads of towel, good water pressure and pretty good wifi so there shouldn't be any suprises.
If you're just exploring the city and not venturing up to Park Guell or Sagrada Familia then you may want to stay a little closer to the centre. It's around 35 minutes to Barceloneta Beach and half that to get into El Born or La Rambla - we didn't mind and ended up walking 10-12 miles a day across the city, both north and south of the apartment.
