Great location!
We were able to walk everywhere including Port Vell! Because we had two small babies, we would catch a taxi at the end of the day instead of walking home.
-5 to 10 minutes walk to Sagrada Familia
-20 to 30 minutes walk to Las Ramblas (La Boqueria), Casa Mila, Barri Gotic
-Quick cab ride to Park Guell, Picasso Museum
There is a fruit stand/store (milk, water, snacks, soda) across the street.
A few convenience stores next door for any needed essentials. So many restaurants close by in the neighborhood.
We opted for the airport transfer recommended by them ($70 USD) since it was our first time in the area and we didn’t want the hassle of finding a taxi and we were met upon exit from customs to help us with bags to the van. For our return to the airport, we decided to go with a van taxi ($40 Euros) since we had a ton of luggage, stroller and carseats.
Check-in was smooth and Juan Carlos met us in the garage to help us bring all our luggage up. He showed us around the apartment and and even provided maps, city guides and restaurant recommendations!
The apartment is super spacious and very clean! Towels were provided and the kitchen was stocked with cookware and a full-sized fridge. The washer/dryer takes a long time to do a load, but I think that’s because the dryer kept turning off (sensor issue). We emptied the water that was collected in the dryer and it helped some.
We would definitely recommend this place as the location and hosts were great!
