Everything was great! The metro and bus was about a five minute walk which will take you to the beach, town, arc de triomf, sagrada familia and most touristy spots! The balcony is a bit small you could have breakfast on it but not quite big enough for dinner as the table is small and round. The location is absolutely great with some bars around the corner- they’re perfect for cheap drinks but wouldn’t recommend the food. There are lots of 24hr supermarkets within 5 minutes of the apartment except lots of shops aren’t open on sundays so prepare for that.
The apartment was clean and tidy, we met the cleaner as Andrea let us in to drop our bags in the morning which was handy. Cooking wise it was fine however if you are cooking separate meals at once it is tricky. There is also no oven or toaster, there is a microwave kettle and hob. The fridge didn’t seem to be that cold for the first few days but it did start working properly. I would recommend putting your water in the freezer so it’s always cold!
The bathroom and bedroom were perfect, hot water and spacious. The bed was comfy however the pullout couch bed in the kitchen is a bit dodgy as the ‘pull out’ part of it is broken and is fully separated from the couch itself so would be a bit difficult to sleep on if you wanted to.
Everything else was absolutely perfect, also there are lots and lots of vegan and gluten free restaurants in the city so if you require that then don’t worry! The food is absolutely delicious.
