This Airbnb is perfectly situated on Passeig De Gracia with a balcony view of one of Gaudi’s magnificent creations. All the shopping you could think of is walking distance away, and everything else is either a walk, a tram or a cab (download the app FreeNow) away.
There’s 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms as well as 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms. There’s 2 balconies as well, one through the lounge and one accessible via the front bedroom.
The ACs worked great for a hot day in BCN and kept us cool throughout. The WiFi was good (if you’re thinking of WFH) you definitely could.
The host and his assistant Guille were easy to communicate with through Airbnb and WhatsApp. Check in was a breeze (don’t forget the BCN city tax, we paid by card upon arrival).
There’s plenty of restaurants within walking distance and plenty of options to eat in should you want something delivered via the glovo app, it was great for basic groceries too.
The host provided shampoos and soap for the bathroom too something that isn’t very common for airbnb, so that was extremely helpful!
The unit is on the 2nd floor, accessible via stairs or elevator.
If you need a COVID test, prior to departure for your next destination, I’d recommend Laboratoria Echevarne which is about a 7-10 minute walk away. They had both PCR (€?)and antigen (€40) tests available at a quick turnaround time, with results available online and printed out if you went back to them.
