This apartment was quite the score! We commnicated via email that we would be arriving earlier than traditional check in. This was no problem and Marcel welcomed us and let us into the place and gave us a quick tour. This apartment was large and bright giving us plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. Marcel was helpful by suggesting local markets and restaurants for us to visit during our stay. The patio was a wonderful asset as we had lovely weather for Spring Break and were able to enjoy some snacks and drinks outside.
The Metro is two short blocks away. A bus line stops one block away with another bus line stops three blocks away. It is a lovely, safe, family friendly neighborhood filled with small retail shops, taverns and restaraunts. A surprise for us was that It is located one block away from a lesser visited Gaudi home (Casa Vincens).
I highly recommend staying here! When we visit Barcelona again I will definitely look into renting this flat. Thank you Marcel!
