Great welcoming by Montse, who was very charming and super-efficient at arrival and departure.
The apartment is very comfortable, it has everything one may need for both short-term and long-term stays. The dining-living room is spacious and very comfortable, with great sofas and a big dining table.
The beds in the two rooms are very comfortable.
Between the balcony and the many windows in the apartment there is always a nice air stream, so that, even in very hot days, the apartment is kept cool. The AC works wonderfully: it is powerfull and cools down both living room and bedrooms. In the middle of a heat wave, we only had to use it a few times between 2pm and 7pm.
The small bedroom does not have a window but there is a big window just across the small hallway which cools and ventilates the room.
The bathroom is perfect and the kitchen, although small, has space and everything needed to cook and store food.
The nighborhood, San Antoni, is one of the most interesting nowadays in Barcelona, with dozens of supermarkets, grocery stores, bakeries, restaurants, bars, etc.
Its location is perfect, you can almost walk everywhere in the city center from the apartment but there are also two different subway stops (L1 and L3) as well as many buses a few blocks away.
On weekedays during the summer, with the balcony windows open, be prepared to listen the sound of joyful children playing on the grounds of a school and of adults playing at an outdoors football court belonging to a gym below the balcony. Much better than the sound of traffic or noisy neighbors.
All and all, it is a very nice apartment and neighborhood to stay in Barcelona. Highly recommended!
Thank you, Marta and Montse!
