This place is AWESOME! There is a tankless hot water heater. That means plenty of hot water for everyone to shower. Another great feature was having 2-bathrooms. This is a necessity for more than 2 people. An air conditioner in each room was another VERY pleasant surprise. The listing said it had AC. And some comments noted it was in living room. So I planned to buy a fan. But when we checked in, EACH bedroom had an AC . . . AWESOME!. It was SOOOO nice after a hot shower and after walking around all day in the heat. There is a dishwasher and clothes washer. No dryer, but there are lines to hang stuff to dry. There was also some laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent. Liquid soaps and shampoo in showers and sinks. Bring a wash cloth or loofah or your own bar soap. Or just buy them on your first supermarket trip (super-mercat) around the corner. The place also had a hair dryer. Leave all the stuff at home.
Great location, around corner of Mercat Nou Metro Station and many great markets and coffee shops to walk to. Also, the bar/restaurant at end of street (Cicelyn BCN) was nice to have so close. Johnathan and Carol were very nice and helpful. Great vermouth and food. Ask for the house-made vermouth and coffee shots.
If you are planning a trip to see Barcelona and want to live with the locals and away from the tourists, this is the place. The proximity to the metro is amazing. Because of the metro, this place is very convenient to all of the tourist locations and even convenient for the FIRA Barcelona Gran Via for a trade show.
Our group shared the 70-trip metro ticket for about 65 Euros. Sharing this ticket was the best deal. One person feeds in the ticket for each person getting on metro. Easy to get ticket at the Mercat Nou station. No crowds.
Cristina checked us in. My wife spoke Spanish and got lots of good tips from her. Cristina went through the map and discussed where the cool places were. She left us 2 sets of keys and we emailed several times during the visit to ask questions. She was fantastic and helpful. Check out was easy. We left a day earlier than planned. We 'sort of' cleaned up, took out trash, left keys on table and pulled door shut. Then emailed to let Cristina know we were able to get on a flight a day early.
For the cab ride back to the airport, we booked it on line. just google taxi cab company in Barcelona. You fill out the web pages and get the confirmation. The apartment had a fast WiFi.
Very nice and I would love to come back again.
