We loved staying in this apartment which is reminiscent of a New York loft with very high ceilings, a stunning contemporary (and sexy) bathroom and an industrial style kitchen which was superbly well equipped and great to cook in. My partner is a chef and he couldn’t fault the kitchen. The apartment is stylishly decorated with a mixture of contemporary and mid century modern pieces. The light fittings are particularly cool and we also loved the original tiled floors. The location is perfect, within minutes of La Ramblas and within walking distance of the Sagrada Familia and the beach. There are hundreds of bars and restaurants on the doorstep. Other reviews have commented that the street below is noisy. It is but then the apartment is bang in the centre the city so this is to be expected. When the doors onto the balcony are closed the apartment is as quiet as a church. Before arriving we were a bit apprehensive about the bedroom at the back of the apartment but it is lovely with a large comfortable bed, masses of storage and a very high ceilings, and a large obscured window and air conditioning to keep it cool. An interesting feature is the viewing window between the bedroom. and the shower in the bathroom! We loved eating on the balcony watching the world go by and we slept really well. Check-in and check-out couldn’t have been easier and Juan Carlos was a great host. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us on our arrival and the kitchen and bathroom were equipped with all the necessaries and more, including sun tan lotion (very necessary because last weekend sweltered). All in all I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely apartment. We hope to make a return visit for a long weekend very soon.
