This apartment is a great home base in Barcelona for small families! We found the location to be terrific, with many restaurants, cafes, bakeries. and grocery stores close by. The neighbourhood it is in, called Eixample, is such a welcoming place and we always felt very safe and comfortable there, and it is well situated to visit many of the biggest attractions in Barcelona, with Sagrada Família a short walk away, and the Touristic Bus able to be caught just a few blocks from your front door at Santa Creu i Sant Pau.
The apartment itself was perfect for us: a clean, comfortable space to start our days and pass by time resting between adventures. The kitchen was outfitted well for our family, and the whole apartment had all of the amenities we needed to make our vacation successful. One drawback we found is that the apartment was quite warm generally. Using the fans that were included with the apartment we were able to get good airflow through the different windows, but the air conditioner that is in the apartment was not able to keep pace with the heat we experienced during our week in Barcelona.
On the whole, I am happy to recommend this apartment to anyone travelling to Barcelona and who wants a less touristy experience, particularly anyone travelling with young children who are independent enough to share their own bedroom. Thank you for hosting us!
