This was an excellent apartment for my friend and I to stay in for our whirlwind tour of Barcelona. It's close to Parc du Montjuic (it took us 15 minutes to stroll down through the park from the top funicular station to the flat) and 5 minutes walk from the nearest Metro. There are lots of bars, cafes and restaurants in the area, which is more local and less touristy.
Our host Juan Carlos was very helpful. He met us, carried up our luggage and gave us a detailed tour of the property.
The apartment is freshly renovated. There is a clever conversion which has divided what I guess was formerly a single front room into two bedrooms. There is a partial wall and then a sliding partition so you can open up the space to make a living area during the day and then close it to make two bedrooms at night. Despite some previous comments, the slider does fully close - just give it a good tug. There is a good size dining area to hang out with some wine and snacks and a full kitchen. It's not a big flat but the space is optimised and there is plenty of storage space in the two bedrooms.
The shower had good pressure and there was plenty of hot water for two back to back reasonable length, hair washing showers. It's great there is a washing machine and we made use of it.
There are a couple of negatives but these could be easily remedied. There is only one mirror in the whole apartment and that is in the bathroom -NOT convenient for two people getting ready. The hairdryer is housed in the bathroom, presumably for use in there with that mirror, along with a socket, which is very surprising for a European bathroom. I do not want to use a hairdryer in a bathroom in a country with 230 voltage! Another mirror in another part of the flat near a socket would be great. The other thing, although the kitchen is well stocked with utensils and cookware, there are no cooking basics - salt and pepper, cooking oil, creamer, tea (there were 4 coffee pods for the machine). These are things a lot of people would like but don't want the hassle and expense of buying for a few days. It makes sense to provide them.
Overall though, the apartment is a great value for money, comfortable and convenient, and I would certainly stay there again.
