If you are traveling to Barcelona and there are 4 or less of you book this apartment now! We stayed 8 days at Angel's wonderful apartment and it was absolutely perfect for my family (11 year old son, wife, and I).
The apartment:
First of all the photos do not do the place justice. It is far larger than we were expecting and it is appointed very tastefully and thoughtfully, Super comfortable beds and a lovely layout that is completely private between the 2 bedrooms. The apartment was impeccably clean and the kitchen had everything we could have ever needed. The baths and showers were premium with excellent water pressure and amenities. The terrace was nice and quiet a nice bonus. No noise at all from the street and nice to be able to survey the block from the balconies. Also the radiant heating in the floors was a nice surprise and kept the place very comfortable. Nice high ceilings too.
The Location:
It's really perfect. It's literally right in the middle of everything. Short walks to many of the sights, restaurants, and shopping that Barcelona has to offer. There is a small super market in the building that had everything we needed for our stay (couldn't be any more convenient). The block has several bakeries and coffee shops as well as a few good restaurants (the pizza next door was excellent) as well as a Starbucks if you are into that. It's literally a block to the Plaça Catalunya that is the hub of the shopping district and a major transportation hub as well. The Gothic Quarter is a short walk as is the Ramblas and (if you are there for Skateboarding as we were) so is MACBA. Gaudi's La Pedrera and Casa Battlo are several short blocks away.
Host:
Angel was a pleasure to deal with leading up to and during our stay. Communication was pleasant, clear, and easy. He arranged an early check in for us as our flight arrived early in the morning from NY. He provided great recomendations for restaurants and sights. Couldn't ask for more.
Ten stars out of ten stars! We couldn't have been happier with our accommodations and had a lovely stay! Amazing apartment in a perfect location!
