A beautiful property that was perfect for our group. The living room, dining and breakfast areas are in completely separate areas from the bedrooms, meaning we had enough areas for multiple groups to prepare meals and relax, while others were sleeping.
Reaching the property was extremely straight-forward - getting off the Renfe train at Plaça de Catalunya, it was less than 5 minutes walk down one road. Leyla met me at the door and was extremely accommodating of our trip - she spoke to us about Primavera Sound as well as other festivals in the area, and explained places to go etc.
The property was perfectly clean when we arrived - it was easily accessible by lift, with a buzzer intercom outside too for easy communication. All of the bedrooms were a good size, and were very spacious - there weren't 5 beds crammed into each room, which we appreciated. The property had air-conditioning, and wi-fi, although it was a bit slow (one of my group had to hotspot his laptop to his phone to make an essential video call).
Both kitchens were fully stocked enough for multiple people in each area to prepare meals easily. It had both a washer AND drier. The shower was massive, not cramped! All rooms were also supplied with towels, hand towels and cloths, as well as extra blankets and pillows. The bedrooms facing the street & the living room all had small balconies too which were good for relaxing.
The local area is great - immediately downstairs you have Avinguda del Portal de l'Àngel - a busy local street with plenty of shops to visit. During the day, there was always some calming, ambient music coming from somewhere: sometimes opera singers, a jazz band, and a piano player. At night, it was whisper quiet, which we appreciated. Nearby there were lots more supermarkets, restaurants, and fast food places, as well as La Rambla 5 minutes away - we had everything we needed.
As well as Plaça de Catalunya, there were countless bus routes which are adjacent to the flat, which made it so simple for travelling around. We found access to the Estadio de Montjuic as well as Parc del Forum very straightforward.
Leyla kept in constant communication throughout the whole trip and helped us with checking out too. She brought us a clothes drying horse on the first day which we really appreciated, and she was very nice to talk to. She also added us to a house WhatsApp group with the flats downstairs, in case of any problems. We didn't need to use it but it was great to feel included.
The only downside was that during the stay, one of the fridges didn't work. However, we fit our food into one fridge, and this wasn't a problem at all for us. Also, the lift stopped working on one of the days, and Leyla had it fixed by an engineer in a matter of minutes.
I absolutely loved staying here and would love to come back again some day.
