What a great apartment! Gloria is a great host, very responsive to my questions and needs. I stayed for three weeks and felt very safe. The apartment was as described, with a fully equipped kitchen as well as a washer and dryer. It was also very clean. The master bedroom is quite large with an attached bath. The smaller bedroom with two bunk beds is located next to the second bathroom. The WiFi was phenomenal which was a blessing. Because my stay was a long one, the cleaning person had to be scheduled mid-stay. There is an extra fee for that cleaning, but she did a great job so I had no complaints. The club across the street was open on Wednesday-Saturday nights, so there was noise during those times as expected. However the wooden doors over the windows did a good job of deadening it. If you are noise sensitive, you might want to use earplugs as well. Getting around with the apartment as home base was very easy. There is a metro stop on each end of the block so it was easy to get around. The apartment is ideally situated in a more residential area but not too far from the action with restaurants, shops, and grocery stores conveniently located nearby. Placa Catalunya is about a 25 minute walk but only 5 minutes by metro (1 stop). Sagrada Familia is a 30-minute walk and about 15 minutes by metro. And two of Gaudi’s buildings, Casa Batllo and La Pedrera are within a 5 minute walk. There wasn’t anything that I didn’t like about the apartment and will definitely book again when I return to Barcelona.
