This apartment was the perfect spot for my husband and I to stay during our week in Barcelona. The apartment is perfect for two people (or maybe two adults and two children). The apartment has a small kitchen, and a beautiful, sunny, large terrace. You can see La Sagrada Familia and the ocean from the terrace. The apartment is light and bright. It has everything you need, and who is spending all their time at the apartment anyway? This apartment is not downtown in the smack of all the touristy areas. It is more of a residential area but there are lot of little bars and restaurants nearby so no worries there. There are also several grocery stores in the area. If you want to travel around the city, there is a bus stop pretty much out front, and there are two metro stations within a few blocks. The public transportation was very cheap and easy to use.
The hosts Frederic and Bernardo were fabulous. They were so kind and friendly. Their office is on the ground floor of the building, so they were there to greet us when we arrived. Frederic gave us a map and highlighted several areas and attractions to look at. Don’t miss his recommendation to check out Hospital Sant Pau! We had one issue with the shutter to the terrace not opening, and they immediately came up to check it out and had the maintenance man there within a few hours to fix it. We had a late flight out of Barcelona and Frederic let us check out a little later while the other apartments were being cleaned first. When we checked out, Bernardo was kind enough to let us leave our luggage in the office while we enjoyed our last few hours in the city. Once we were ready, he even called a cab for us.
Overall, the space was clean, comfortable, quiet, and everything that we needed. The hosts were fabulous and I would stay here or at any other property that they manage again.
