The apartment is a beautiful space in a fantastic location that was perfect for a couple to spend a few days in Barcelona.
Location is perfect, a block away from Fontana Metro station and from Carrer Gran de Gracia, with close access to a fantastic cheese shop and several bakeries and a large public market. Apartment was still very quiet however, as it faces into a small and quiet street off the main busy thoroughfare.
Apartment was furnished very well, and had plenty of usable living space for two. Two AC/heating units quickly warmed the space during the winter, and the shutter/curtain system kept in heat overnight and let in light during the day. Washing machine worked well.
Sofia was very hospitable, explaining Barcelona to us first-timers and recommending a number of excellent shops and dining locations nearby.
Only minor quibbles:
- WiFi was rather weak in the dining/living area, though worked okay in the bedroom
- Could have used some sharper knives and more kitchen cooking essentials like oil and pepper
- No toaster, though for our purposes the panini maker worked just fine for toasting bread
Overall, a fantastic place to stay in Barcelona that I would recommend to others. Thanks Sofia!
