I was a bit sceptical of all of the 5 star reviews Andres got but having stayed there for 6 weeks I now see why
I worked remotely from the apartment and I honestly couldn't have had a better place to do this - work wise it had a desk, comfortable kitchen chair for seat, wifi was even better than my wifi at home! Such a great place for a long term stay
The apartment is even nicer than the pictures - so spacious and bright which is something that's really hard to come by in BCN and felt really new, you could really see that Andres looked after and cared about the apartment since he had lived there for years himself!
Andres was so so quick at responding any time i messaged him about anything and he even greeted me on arrival on a Sunday night which was so nice and comforting since I was travelling alone and arriving to a new city! He really made me feel at home and welcomed there
The apartment has everything you would possibly need, lovely bathroom, living space, nice decor, washing machine and all the small things like towels, pegs for hanging out your laundry etc - the terrace is also so nice to have some breakfast or do some yoga on and it also has a little balcony, being on the top floor of the block also means that there is no one else above you which is great. The apartment was really quiet in the living area and in the main bedroom, my brother stayed in the second bedroom that has a pull out double bed who said he could sometimes hear the neighbours due to where the room was located but overall a very quiet apartment
Travelling as a girl alone I wanted to make sure the area was safe and it was honestly perfect - very quiet as well but only 10/15 mins walk from la sagrada/arc de triomf where all the madness is! I cycled everywhere but there are great public transport options near - 5 mins to metro/tram and busses also very near, it was a perfect area and as I said felt very safe. Also a really great shopping centre 10 mins walk with a carrefour, and also a Lidl down the road! All the amenities you need
I couldn't recommend this apartment more - I looked at probably a hundred airbnbs and was so delighted I found this hidden gem - it ticked all of the boxes! If I ever return to Barcelona I will stay at Andres' place. If you are considering booking this apartment - do not hesitate and book it :)
