Firstly have to say I feel sad writing this knowing that 12hrs after our departure this lovely city was placed under lockdown. I sincerely hope things get back to normal soon and the visitors return!
Barcelona is wonderful and this apartment is a great base to explore it from, either on foot (most of the Gaudi sites are very close and the beach is 30mins Walk ) or by taking the Metro. The Girona stop is only a few hundred yards away. Barbara was really helpful providing great recommendations and guidance, as well as prompt support when we needed it.
The apartment is in a lovely old building and whilst furnished minimally, it is comfortable. The bedding in particular has to be mentioned- memory foam mattress with good quality linen. We slept very well, as did our 7month old who slept through 4 out of 5 nights which is unheard of usually! There is quite a lot of road noise / street sounds but this didn’t disturb us.
It would be useful if there was a bit more cooking equipment provided but we got by. The bathroom is very well stocked with toiletries etc. Good shower but hairdryer not very powerful; bring your own if you have thick hair!
The supermarket is very close and has everything you need. Desigual outlet store just around the corner!
We had a great stay and would certainly recommend. Thank you to Barbara and best wishes xx
