I’ve just come back from our short stay in Barcelona. The apartment was easy to find it wasn’t so tucked away in the little windy alley ways. Check in was easy as they left the key in a lock box (we arrived late), and instructions were clear to follow. When we got in we had to go up a narrow windy stair case which wasn’t too bad for us as we stayed in the studio with the terrace and that is on the first floor. We would’ve found it difficult to get up the stairs with large luggage but luckily we didn’t (we had to bend over to get down because it was so small)!! Which was quite a cute touch, gave the building character!
Everything in the apartment was there for basic needs, the bed was comfy and the duvet kept you warm in the stone walls. The view is pretty!
Two things I would say are kind of negative but didn’t bother us that much to complain, we stayed Saturday and Sunday night. Wouldn’t recommend if you had young children or are a light sleeper as you can hear the hustle and bustle until early hours of Sunday morning (I’m talking around 4am).. luckily i can sleep through it the majority of the time. The other thing to note (which Deco made us aware of when we mentioned it) is that the water system is quite old, my boyfriend made the mistake of running the shower for a while before he got in there, when he wanted to get in there the water was stone cold!! Which isn’t what you want in the cold months! No fault of deco apartments it is the fact they run off an old system, so if you have a larger family do cut shower time as the last person could be in with a shock!!
It was soooo pretty, area is good with a lot of transport links which helped us with the taxi strike, there’s lots of super markets around in the born area as well as some lovely restaurants and boutiques!
I would recommend for the price!
