Perfect base in a perfect location to explore BCN. Even more spacious than the photos suggest - it felt like two wings of a flat: one for the kids, and one for the parents. Comfortable beds, cold AC in every room, shutters that made the rooms super-dark for sleeping late and adjusting to jetlag, and quiet inside the flat. Not sure when we've all slept better!
Check-in and communication couldn't have been better, both before and during the stay. Fully equipped with washer, dryer, dishwasher and all the stuff you'd need to cook in the apartment if you take a break from the culinary delights of BCN.
Clean, functional furniture and decor - not fancy but exactly what a family needs to feel at home in a new country and city.
Good, hot water in showers - only gripe would be that the small bathroom next to the queen-sized bedroom is really tiny - useful for toilet and sink, but a tight squeeze for showering. The other bathroom is great, though, and 2 bathrooms is a luxury anyway.
Can't praise the location enough - we had fantastic meals within a 3 block radius, and the Diagonal and Provencal Metro stops are 2 blocks away. No need for a car in BCN when you have a spot here. When we come back, this will be our first choice of where to stay!
