If you’re lucky enough to go to Barcelona…you’re lucky enough! But of course, you need someplace to stay, and this spot was our go-to for 6 weeks. This apartment has a great location just minutes walking to Parallel Metro stop, Parallel Vila Vila Bus stop, Dia and Lidl grocery stores, and more cafes and restaurants than you can count! We loved the keyless entry and the very secure and modern front door locking system. The kitchen is so roomy and has so many pots, pans, dishes etc. The dishwasher, stovetop and oven all look brand new as well as the washer and dryer. We had hoped there was a working coffee maker available, but it appears that a previous tenant had broken it, and being American, coffee matters 😉
The bedrooms are a little tight on space, but there is an amazing amount of closet space, which one usually does not find in Europe! Tons of hangers and drawers. The second bedroom would be great for a children as it has a loft that could be an adventure.
Great smart tvs which were easily set up for Netflix etc. The living room couch is a pull-out sofa bed, and is about as comfortable as most. Amazing wifi and worked great for zoom.
The one thing we noticed is the absence of natural light. There’s not a lot our host could do to improve that, because in a first floor apartment in a city, you don’t want every passer by to be able to look in the windows. The windows are frosted for privacy which would only bug you if you are in the flat a lot to work. But the good news is that there are two great choices for co-working space about a 15 minute walk away.
We loved Barcelona and really enjoyed our stay! We would highly recommend!
