My family of five had a great stay at the apartment. Had everything we needed. Nice building. Safe neighborhood. Convenience store and bakeries right there. We loved the location right outside the beautiful Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (be sure to take a tour!) and just a few minutes walk to La Sagrada Familia (Prebook), straight down the Passeig de Gràcia with many lovely restaurants. The first night, we arrived about 8:30 pm and were met by Daniel who was helpful and friendly. We had dinner downstairs, around the corner at Insòlita Gea, affordable and nice tapas for first dinner with a beautiful view of the Hospital. We also ate just a few steps down Passeig de Gràcia at El Petit Firo. Fantastic! It was also nice to be able to have dinner near La Sagrada the last night as well and then stroll back to the apartment, enjoying gelato on the way. The apartment was two blocks from the metro line, so very convenient to get all over the city. We also took a taxi to Park Guell one afternoon (pre-book your ticket) and that was about 10 euro. We took a taxi to and from the airport and that was about 40 euro. We needed the larger size taxi for our family of five so regular size is cheaper. Download the mytaxi app to call for a taxi. Had no issue with apt wifi, beds or heating system... it was February and about 58 each day. All in all, it was a great stay. In addition to all the sites in Barcelona, definitely go to Montserrat and do the Freixenet Winery Tour if you can!
We were only there Thursday night to Monday morning but we packed in o much fun, beauty & delicious food! Quick trip but packed in La Sagrada Familia, Gothic Quarter (Free Runnerbean Tour), Paella at the Beach (Can Majo), Casa Milà, Casa Batlló, Las Ramblas, La Boqueria Market, Hospital de Sant Pau, Montserrat, the Basilica & The Virgin of Montserrat, 125 y/o Granja Viader for Churros y Chocolate, Black Squid Ink Rice & Seafood, Jamon, The Palau de la Música Catalana, Freixenet Winery Tour, Park Güell & lots of Vino & Tapas!!
