This apartment is just as described - absolutely stunning! It had absolutely everything you would need for a trip away and the kitchen even came with a Kettle & Toaster (for us tea lovers!). The beds were so comfy, the balcony was so spacious and there wasn't one thing missing from the kitchen in relation to utensils and pots/pans etc!
The area is truly beautiful and we felt so safe here - the nearest metro is "Glores" about a 10 minute walk away & from here we got a 10 trip pass (for zone 1) that Jepis advised us to get - once you have this pass you can hop on the metro/bus and get into Las Ramblas (4 stops away Catylunia) and anywhere else you may wish to go.
The Sagrada Familia is about a 20 minute walk from the apt and you can see it from the metro station - we enjoyed a morning here on a Saturday with the markets on display - we hoped on the metro back and enjoyed some shopping at the very trendy shopping centre at Glores.
The area is so beautiful, the beach is about a 20 minute walk down the main EL POBLENOU that is lined with trees and fantastic places to eat/drink.
We had a vegan friend and we found two vegan restaurants right by the beach - (Blu Bar - Carrer de Fernando Poo, 23, 08005 Barcelona, Spain) and Vrutally across the road from here which she enjoyed.
A recommended Indian restaurant was on the other side of the apartment block - SWAD Carrer de Sancho de Ávila, 167, 08018 Barcelona, Spain - we didn't make it but our friends said it was amazing.
The pool was amazing also - so clean and was lovely and fresh each morning before we headed off for the day.
Jepis could not do enough for us - he was absolutely brilliant - he was on whatsapp for any questions/queries that we had and was so friendly and helpful when we arrived.
A truly spectatular find and an apartment that I can't recommend enough.
We absolutely loved our stay - we will hopefully be back (the kids want to come the next time!)
