Overall, a nice stay at a truly lovely apartment. Although Danielle was out of town, she kept in contact throughout the stay to ensure we had everything we needed.
Pros:
- Location-wise, there are many restaurants and markets in the area, with a 7 minute walk to the closet metro station. The apartment itself was on a quiet street in a very nice building in a safe and pleasant neighborhood.
- The apartment was as described; good sized living room, smaller bedroom, and larger bedroom - all as expected and lovely decor. No AC, but at the end of August with all the windows open and small fans, it was bearable.
- Danielle stayed in contact even though she was in a different country and time zone. We were able to pick up the key and drop our stuff off early, which was very convenient.
Cons:
- We had previously stayed at an apartment that was on the third floor (4th floor for Americans), so we were expecting something similar here. This felt like closer to 5 or 6 flights of stairs. If you have heavy luggage or have issues climbing stairs, we dreaded this climb at the end of each long day.
- Maybe we're slow walkers, but La Sagrada Familia was a 15-20 minute walk - so a bit farther than we were expecting.
- The wifi cut out halfway through our stay. With time zone differences, it took more than a day to find a solution, which created some issues. Glad Danielle was able to find us a solution despite being away!
