The apartment was typical of many other older apartment buildings you would find in the center of Barcelona. Therefore, be aware ahead of time that it is cozy, with two large bedrooms, and one smaller one, and one very large bathroom, and one smaller one. The kitchen, also, “city-sized”, was fully stocked, with the appliances, dishes, silverware, etc. that one might need to easily prepare meals. That said, our family of six fit quite comfortably, without tripping over one another; our two sons, for example, both over 6’ tall shared the smallest bedroom without any issues.
Though there is no air conditioning, two large doors in the living room, open onto a balcony, and provided enough cool air to the apartment to keep things comfortable. Two identical doors are found in the front bedroom. All rooms also contain electric fans to keep air circulating.
While the balcony does overlook a busy street, the noise was not obnoxious, and we had no trouble sleeping at night with the doors open.
You will find many sites, grocery stores, and restaurants were located within easy walking distance. This alone made the apartment worth the cost.
Finally, Michelle was quite responsive to all messages/questions sent her way. Though she was not available to check us in, the person who stepped in for her was also very accommodating and helpful.
We will definitely stay with Michelle on our next visit to Barcelona!
