Edu’s place is wonderful.
The location/neighborhood is quiet and calm, despite being in the midst of a large city. We were grateful that he allowed us to drop our luggage off early and to refresh after the last guests checked out and before check-in. It gave us a quick moment to refresh after our flight and get started on our day. Edu was traveling, but we were met by Sergio who was so very, very kind and helpful when we met him.
The highlight of the entire apartment was the terrace! Totally worth every penny for that view and space. The beds were comfortable and we were grateful for the A/C one afternoon when we returned and it was a rather warm day.
There is a wonderful little local coffee shop called Glop that is located on the other side of the block. We went to every morning for pastry and the most delicious cappuccino. There are also two very nice restaurants- Tickets- across the street is world renown. It’s smaller less expensive little brother, Bodega 1900 is next door to the entry of the apartment. You are walking distance to the magic fountain (with nightly light show) and the shopping mall- a former stadium for bull fighting. Walking West down Ave del Parallel will take you there or walking East will take you to the Beach. You are also walking distance to the Boqueria Market when heading North or the Olympic stadium if you head South. Be sure to look down as you enter/exit the apartment the entire sidewalk is the infamous “Flor de Barcelona” tile introduced in 1926 and primarily seen in the L’Eixample area.
