Unbelievably great location! We had the upper level completely to ourselves—small bedroom with a double bed, private bath, and sitting room. Everything was very clean! Although we arrived well before check-in, Concha arranged to have a friend let us in and we were able to drop our luggage and rest.
After a very long day of flying, my husband and I were tired and just decided to wander for a bit with no express purpose. With less than five minutes walking, we had stumbled upon the remnants of Barcelona’s Roman city walls, picturesque medieval squares, the Mares Museum, Barcelona Cathedral, the History Museum of Barcelona, and numerous shops and restaurants. Located almost directly behind Grand Hotel City Bar, there is a super convenient taxi stand less than two minutes from the flat (We only used a taxi for the Sagrada Familia and to get to the airport and train station.) Other nearby attractions such as the Santa Catarina Market and the Picasso Museum are only a 5-7 minute walk while Las Ramblas and the Barcelonetta beach area are 10-15 minutes on foot. We felt very safe in the area. I cannot stress enough what a fantastic and convenient location Concha is offering. We would definitely stay with Concha again!
