This apartment was one of the greatest places I’ve ever stayed. It’s a nice size, with two equally bright cheery bedrooms. The living/dining/kitchen areas were also perfect. The location couldn’t have been better. A very short walk to the Metro; a large and excellent grocery store even closer (try a can of the lemon stuffed olives...to die for), and about a 15 minute walk from the incredible Magic Fountain (DON’T miss seeing this in the evening) and one of the major art museums.
One of our favorite things was the large rooftop deck, looking out over a park and a large Joan Miro sculpture. It was a lovely place to have morning coffee and an evening glass of wine.
We really couldn’t believe our good luck in finding a place that was not only quite wonderful but amazingly conveniently located. Also, we had great communication with our hosts, who made sure to get in touch prior to our arrival with all the information we needed. Awesome all the way around!
A word of advice one seeing Barcelona sights: we were very glad to have gotten tickets for La Sagrada Familia and the Picasso Museum before we left the U.S., but figured we would be able to get into Park Güell. After the trek up there, we found that tickets were sold out for the day. The parts of the Park we saw were beautiful, but as Gaudi enthusiasts we were disappointed not to see the buildings there. Get all your tickets in advance!
I couldn’t recommend M&J’s place any more highly. Thanks again for making our stay in Barcelona so easy, comfortable, and enjoyable!!
