Fabienne was kind enough to accept my request for her apartment since she doesn’t usually lent the space to groups of youngsters (early 20s) - and I came to Barcelona with a group of friends- .
Her apartment provides the general amenities you need : bedding, fridge, shower and of course.. AC on a hot day 😉
The space is quite small so we do tend to bump into each other a few times per day but it was a very cosy space and we were practically always out and about !
As for the location, it was a nice small walk to Las Ramblas (I’d say 20mins or less) as well as all the tourist attractions around ! Although for the park Guell you need to take the tube (40mins ride, it’s quite isolated place). You have supermarkets all around as well as scooter locations or nice restaurants, everything is at a walking distance !
The apartment however has no lift so watch out if you have a big suitcase (or big grocery bags), you’ll be panting by the time you reach the door ! 😉
On another note, Fabienne was very helpful and always quick to respond whenever we thought we faced a few difficulties.
Overall, it’s been a great experience in Barcelona and in Fabienne’s apartment. If I ever come back to Barcelona I think I’ll know where I’ll want to stay ! 😉
