As advertised, the place is in a great location. There is a lift to help with bags and Carlos was a very good host so arriving was really easy. The place itself is huge, but centred around a central kitchen area so once the second and third bedrooms are closed off, it’s less flowing. It is fitted out with everything one might want for a stay. We found the beds very uncomfortable and squeaky and the shutters are for keeping out light only as they are too old and broken to be used as security (unlike other locations we have stayed in) without the internal windows also shut. I guess that would only be a height of summer issue though.
As a base, the apartment is lovely and in a great spot, with the Boqueria markets literally at the back of the block and some world class restaurants within a few minutes.
