We loved our weeks stay here in September 2017 as a family with four children. The apartment is in a very central location. One end of the street is the famous La Rambla and then this continues on to Rambla De Catalunya which is the much more chic end of town. So you are walking distance from all the action but in a cleaner, more spacious and much quieter area.
The apartment is on the 2nd floor at the back of the building in a block of 6 floors assessed in between all the shops below. It has a small old fashioned lift you can use if you don't want to walk the stairs. You don't overlook the street rather a huge internal courtyard all the apartments back onto, including Gaudis Casa Batllo. There is actually a bakery next door so each morning when you open the doors to your balcony, you get the amazing smells of the bakery wafting up. It opens at 9am and we often grabbed breakfast on the run from here.
While we were staying at the apartment there were different rooftop concerts at Casa Batllo each night which we ended up buying tickets to. I'd recommend doing this if they are on while you are staying there.
The apartment is fantastic. It's been recently completely renovated and is sparkling clean. We had access to all three bedrooms. There is a main bedroom with French doors to the balcony and a great ensuite inc a bath so this is the pick of the bedrooms in my opinion. Then there is a large bedroom off the corridor with a clever bathroom incorporated into the actual room, also with a huge bath. The draw back of this room is the window is to an air shaft so no view and you can hear the neighbours more. The third room is a stylish bunk room- two beds on the ground and one as a loft and the bathroom this room would use is off the corridor, not attached. Perfect for kids though. The window in this room opens to the shaft the lift is in so a bit noisy if you leave the window open at night.
Three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two baths and a open plan kitchen, lounge area. The interiors are very stylish and contemporary. Someone had some real style and talent putting the apartment together. They have thought of everything including a coffee machine that takes Nespresso pods if you want to pack some.
We asked for the house keeper Aleida to come each day to make the beds and tidy up and she was amazing. She would do a load of washing or fold what was dry too. A real gem. Overall we felt like locals staying here and would highly recommend this apartment to others.
