I had been trying to get to Barcelona and stay in Marc's flat since the spring of 2020. I finally got there, and neither the city nor the flat disappointed.
I was met by Marc's flat manager, who was simply lovely.
The flat is amazing. It's in a neoclassical building that also houses the Qatar Consulate. So you get 24 hour security/door service. It's on the 4th floor facing the street. There are two really well run lifts.
It's oldy worldly and ornate, which I love. I lived in London and Europe, so I was use to that.
You could not ask for a better location. Major brands, restaurants and coffee shoppes all steps away. A large department store, with a Whole Foods styled supermarket on the other side of the street. 24 hour Supermarkets everywhere.
The Gothic Quarter begins 200m away.
I used a cab once in 16 days. Everything that I wanted to see and do seemed to be a 15-30 minute walk away,
The flat is large and comfortable and quiet. Perfect for a solo traveler. I am.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and would definitely want to stay again on another Barcelona a trip.
