The location of this apartment is fantastic - easy walking distance or a short cab/subway ride to the sights of Barcelona, lots of great restaurants nearby (Phil and Fiona’s Barcelona guidebook recos are great!). Out of the cozy sun room in the back of the apartment, you can see the beautiful rooftop of the Mercat de la Concepció and a pretty music school building. We heard violins playing softly in the late afternoon - it was so lovely.
The space was clean and well stocked. The building and neighborhood were generally very quiet, and the building is on a smaller street. You will hear the neighbors occasionally - it’s an apartment building in a city - but nothing out of the ordinary.
The apartment was comfortable for me, my husband, and my parents. I think it would also work very well for a family with kids. Three bedrooms are clustered close together (one is connected to another), so it may not work as well for multiple couples or for friends who are not as comfortable sharing space.
Great home base for a memorable trip to Barcelona!
