This apartment is in an amazing location, really close to lots of bars, cafes and restaurants.
The balcony is wonderful. It is tiny but great to sit and have a morning coffee. Very ‘Barcelona’.
The building is a great example of 1900s architecture and the lift is quite an experience!
The apartment served us well for a 12 day city stay. It is a little tired, with furniture, fixtures and fittings feeling a little tired. We lacked some good bed pillows, or enough of them. For us, good bedding is a must.
We also had some French champagne and there was one appropriate glass in the whole apartment. The kitchen could benefit from a set of wine glasses and perhaps champagne flutes. It really isn’t the same from a chunky water glass.
The Nespresso coffee machine is handy, if you drink it, bring capsules.
The kitchen has random things left from other guests, though I would not consider that ‘well stocked’. There is a few delis, supermarkets and other small shops to get provisions very close to the apartment, so you can stock up yourself.
If you want a genuine city experience this apartment is a good way to feel like you live in Barcelona. It’s is simple but meets most needs and is in a great location.
Pilar and her husband are polite and helpful. Communication was generally prompt.
