We recently stayed a week at this clean and lovely apartment just outside the Eixample area of Barcelona. The apartment is quiet, secure and quite comfortable with an excellently appointed kitchen and beautiful bathroom. We loved the ability to cook most of our meals and to have such a quiet and private space to retreat to at the end of busy days. Our only complaint is this -- we were alerted prior to arrival of a broken pipe that created a very foul odor in the lobby of the building and all the way up the stairwell for which we were given a partial refund before we even arrived -- an unheard of generous and honest gesture. (Note -- the odor is NOT detectable once inside the apartment) However, we were not apprised that this maintenance problem also necessitated walking up and down five stories of stairs to reach the apartment due to the elevator also being out during this time. Having this information ahead of time likely would not have changed our mind about staying, but it did give us pause each day about many times we were willing to leave and come back in a given day knowing we would have 85 stairs to climb (our 50+ year old knees and backs aren't what they used to be!). So we would recommend, if you have any mobility issues, to inquire with the host about the status of the elevator before booking your stay. Otherwise, it is very conveniently located to several public transportation stops, there are lots of restaurants, grocery stores and other items of convenience nearby -- and overall, was just a cozy and comfortable place to retreat. Thank you for the hospitality and communication!
