We (2 adults and 2 kids 3 and 5 years old) stayed here for one month, Mid July-Mid August 2022.
The location is great. Two minutes walk to the beach. After the beach we usually either walked around the city (15 mins walk to Gothic Quarter, 20 mins -La Rambla) or took bus to go somewhere further (like Park Guell, Sagrada Familia). There are two bus stops less than 5 mins walk from apartment. Public transportation is very convenient (good schedule, special room for a stroller in a bus).
There are two large super markets nearby and a fruits/meat market. Kids playground. Many restaurants (Salamanca is the one we liked very much). Many cozy small coffee shops (Home Made IceCream is amazing).
The apartment itself has two bedrooms (master bedroom with queen size bed and second bedroom with twin size bed), bathroom, laundry machine, microwave, TV, AC. All necessary utensils in the kitchen, even waffle maker. Clean bedding, towels, beach umbrella, etc.
The neighbors are very friendly. They shared sweets and popsicles with our kids.
Silvia is very nice and supportive as well. We had no issues during our stay, so we didn’t interact much, but she explained everything when we arrived, and all worked well.
Cons-it’s loud in the evening when people are leaving the beach, singing, arguing, laughing. I personally was ok with the noise. I like the city vibe)
Overall we had amazing time in Barcelona. For my family there is no better location than Silvia’s place: beach and city center in walking distance.
Highly recommend this place to stay in Barcelona.
