This charming little apartment has everything you need for a terrific short break in Barcelona. With two singles on a mezzanine floor and and a separate double bedroom, dining and lounging space for four, a well equipped kitchen, and a good warm shower, it was absolutely ideal for our family of four.
It is on the top floor of what must be a 4-5 story, purpose built 19the century apartment, sandwiched between similar buildings on relatively quiet side street. It's a good climb up, well worth the shortness of breath but bearers of large bags or dodgy knees beware.
Otherwise, the apartment is super conveniently located within yards of La Rambla and Güell Palace, there's an amazing bakery over the road, countless convenient stores and the city is alive with restaurants. Flavio's man, Ivan, gave us loads of great tips and there is a folder of recommendations in the welcome pack. There are books and cards and games and there's even a Rough Guide to Barcelona.
Barcelona itself is the most wonderful city and utterly worth a visit. Our four day trip was barely enough to scratch the surface but just right for a beautiful family break. Good accommodation can really make or break a short trip and this place "In the heart of Barcelona" really made our trip special.
Flavio himself, we didn't meet, but his communication was second to none and he was a great host.
