This gorgeous apartment is in a wonderful location just steps away from La Sagrada Familia and a couple of blocks from the metro. It is located on the top floor of the building with excellent security and a small elevator.
The terrace is huge and a perfect place to lounge after a busy day. The living/dining area is beautifully furnished and has a large flat-screen TV as well as a wall-mounted computer with many travel sites and applications.
The bathroom is beautiful with a fun mood lighting feature for a relaxing soak in the tub. Shampoo, soap, hair dryer and first aid items are supplied. The towels are toasty warm from the heated towel rack.
The kitchen has everything needed to prepare meals - two burners, a microwave, a dishwasher and pod coffee machine. Nice dishes, pots and pans and all kinds of glasses. There were a few drinks in the refrigerator and another lovely touch was the chilled champagne and flutes. Simple breakfast items are provided for your first morning and also a few snacks (candy, biscuits, toast).
There is a small laundry room and the washer/dryer combination machine works very well.
The exterior sliders in both the living room and bedroom have remote controlled shutters that can be closed to completely block the light from outside. This feature, plus the super comfortable bed gave us the best night's sleep ever. There is a huge closet and a large dresser in the bedroom which provide enough room to put away everything you have packed.
There are restaurants and markets within steps of the apartment.
The entire apartment was beautifully arranged and meticulously clean.
Paco and Enric are delightful hosts who really go out of their way to ensure that all of your needs are met and your questions are answered. It is obvious that they care deeply that your time in Barcelona is as enjoyable as it can possibly be.
An extra nice benefit is a cellphone that is provided for your use. It has unlimited data and was a great help getting us around the city with interactive maps and other travel features.
I recommend this apartment very enthusiastically. Not only is it perfect in every possible way - it is extremely good value for money.
We will definitely return to this lovely spot.
