This apartment exceeded our expectations which were already high due to previous reviews.
Unfortunately the timing of our visit wasn’t great as it coincided with the Catalan demonstrations and general strike. However, our host Maria was fantastic, regularly checking we were ok and we really felt that she cared for our safety.
Maria sent us very comprehensive instructions on how to find the apartment and her taxi recommendation was excellent (Taxi Class Rent - prompt, professional and reliable). Mili, Maria’s assistant, was waiting for us at the apartment and made us feel really welcome, showing us round and available to answer any questions we had. The snacks and staples provided were very much appreciated.
The apartment itself is really spacious and very well equipped. The entrance to the apartment block is very smart and the lifts to the apartment, whilst small, were perfectly fine and in good working order. There are 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms ranging from the huge master suite to a good sized twin/double and a small single. We really appreciated having 3 bathrooms / shower rooms. They did vary quite a lot in size - the one next to the single room was small but it was a fine for our requirements (maybe not so much if you were tall!). The apartment also has a very large balcony running along the front - might not suit those of a nervous disposition because it’s quite high up above a busy junction but we loved it.
Maria also provided us with lots of really helpful information about the local area and the main attractions of Barcelona. The apartment itself is just 5 minutes walk from the Sagrada Familia, 2 metro stations and a tourist bus stop.
Overall, we had an excellent stay and hope to be able to return to Barcelona in less troubled times.
