We were group of 5 ladies, 3 were aged over 60 and the apartment was great. Bright, spacious, clean and convenient with the perfect amount of space for us all to be comfortable. About 27 small steps to the apartment - not an issue for my 3 elderly relatives. The beds were really comfortable, nice linen, modern bathrooms, wardrobe space, all cooking utilities there (bottle opener, peeler etc). The gas cooker didn't self light, but there is a chefs lighter in the drawer to solve this. There's central heating too should you need it and free Wifi.

We arrived at 1.30am and late check in was no problem. Everything we needed was at the apartment including the little things like washing up liquid and tea towels which was perfect.

The Sagrada Familia is literally down the road 2 blocks and metro near. You can even see the sagrada familia from the balcony. We walked from the central bus station which took around 20 mins and easy to do. Theres a little bakery down the road, convenient shop and fruit and veg store around the corner which had beautiiful veg and less than half the price of the market in Las Ramblas. Lots of restaurants near too.

To make this stay even better for someone else, I would recommend taking ear plugs just in case your a light sleeper (we did) as the road can sometimes get noisy as it is a main road and also pull out the living room sofa bed when the host is there. (The technique is to lift the base up towards the back to release the hinge, and then flatten it back down to a double bed - we you tubed it in the end to figure it out after not doing it straight away!)

All in all the hosts were great, great communication throughout - just a text or call away. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Barcelona. Just waking up and seeing the Sagrada Familia first thing is awesome and the apartment really makes you feel that you have a home in with a view.
