You will absolutely love this place. I stayed here with three other business travelers. We all had our own private rooms, plus there were two bathrooms to share. One bedroom had a bed for two, two other bedrooms had two single beds each, and the last bedroom had bunk beds. So that means this could easily sleep eight, plus, one of the living room couches has a pull-out bed. Wow! That’s a lot of capacity. Also, the common areas have a spacious living room/dining room/bar/kitchen with all the cooking items you need.
The location is about ten steps off of La Rambla, which in my opinion is THE place to stay while in Barcelona. There are a neverending number of streets/shops/restaurants in the area. It’s also only a 10 minute walk to Plaça de Catalunya where the airport bus drops you. And the metro is 100 feet away from your doorstep. It’s absolutely perfect.
As for the AirBnB experience itself, the plumbing was new, the cleanliness was top notch, everything worked as it was supposed to. There is a terrace with table and chairs for outside dining. It is located in a light well in the middle of the building, so there is no view, but the living room has two balconies which keep you connected to the excitement of the crowds ambling down Las Ramblas.
Also nearby is a 24 hour market that has everything you need. We stocked up on bottled water, Nespresso pods, ham, fruit cheese and bread…ohhhhh, the bread. When the local convenience store had the best tasting, freshest bread you have ever had, then you know you are in for a special experience.
One small bit of confusing information. This AirBnB property has the title of “237 Las Ramblas.” I don’t know what that refers to, but it is NOT the street address. I made the mistake of typing that into Google maps and thought the property was farther down La Rambla towards the water. I am actually glad the property was further up La Rambla and just a few steps onto a side street. Of course once you book, they will give you the address. I arrived in the morning and was able to get in early. As instructed, I called, and they arrived within 30 minutes. The apartment is up a twisty flight of stairs one story upwards. No problem for any able-bodied person. Not a good property for someone who has a problem walking.
My thanks to Jordi and the rental management company. Everything was top notch. I would absolutely stay here again. It’s awesome for groups or large families and there is SO much to do just outside the front door! Very safe location, as well, because of all of the people strolling around.
