We had a fantastic time in Barcelona and really enjoyed our stay in this apartment.
We are a family of 2 adults and 3 children (14, 12, 10).
The apartment is in a great location so we could walk to many things with the kids (Port Vell, La Rambla, Gothic Quarter, Font Magica, even the beach.
There are 2 metro stations close by (Parallel and Drassanes) for when the tiredness hit.
It is also really close to the Maritime Museum which is free entry on Sundays late afternoon/evening.
The apartment was clean and tidy and well equipped for our needs. It's on the seventh floor so the 2 lifts came in handy. One day the large lift was not working but it was fixed the same day so there was no inconvenience. Other residents seemed nice and friendly, always saying hello.
Lots of small supermerkats nearby and a Lidl for food/drink supplies.
We had a fantastic meal at a local restaurant called La Frontera - the most amazing steak!
All communications with the host were really helpful. We received timely emails with reminders and information on good places to visit before our trip. We had a welcome text message when we landed to say the apartment was ready early so we could go straight there from the airport (less than 30 mins in the taxi).
We also received emails during our stay - one recommending a local festival that the kids would enjoy, another with check out info and links to luggage storage and taxi companies.
We were sad to leave and the kids are already talking about visiting again.
We would recommend this apartment as a great base for exploring Barcelona.
