We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It is HUGE and beautiful and in a nice and convenient part of town. If you’re craving a fancy feeling Spanish flat with lots of space this is it.
Pros:
- Classic Spanish apartment, tiled floors, beautiful enclosed terrace where we had coffee each morning and wine each night with the windows open. It’s really beautiful and we felt tres fancy.
- lots of space and natural light
- Great location: safe nice neighborhood, 15-30 minute walk to all the great sights and spots in town
- modern amenities including washing machine and dryer and elevator
- great showers with long hot water and lots of water pressure (rare for Europe)
Cons:
- On a very busy street so it gets pretty noisy. Didn’t bother us too much but don’t recommend for light sleepers
- Extremely slow WiFi
- lots of different level changes & tiny steps. Again, Not a huge deal but wouldn’t recommend for small kids or anyone with vision impairment
- the master bedroom is FAR superior to the smaller one with twin beds. Fine for families, but if you’re traveling with friends be prepared to fight over rooms. (We ended up sharing the main one!)
- there was a lot of construction inside the building each morning that woke us up around 7 (jackhammers on tile loud) This is definitely a temporary thing, and totally understandable, but if you’re staying here soon maybe ask if it’s still going on?
Other notes:
- In one of the less “local” feeling neighborhoods, a little more bougie. Beautiful and accessible, but we preferred Gracia, Born & Poblesec (personal preference though)
