This is a great apartment. Our host Lola was completely responsive, and all aspects of booking, checking in and out went really smoothly. She has a warm personality and made us feel right at home.The apartment is located on a wonderful street in Eixample. The neighborhood could not be better. There is a market around the corner, and any number of cafes to choose from in the morning. The bus stop is just there and Placa Tetuan is right there too for the metro. You are also near a great park for walking.
When we have rented in Barcelona in the past we have found the sitting areas to be somewhat small and not really comfortable. Not so at all in this apartment! The sitting area has very comfortable sofa and chairs in a lovely and spacious room. We were four friends and we loved sitting down and reliving each day. The kitchen is also nicely appointed and we found the washer/dryer worked very well. Beds and baths were also wonderful.
The street where the apartment is located is busy. This would be something to be aware of. There are full length doors in the living area and the bedrooms opening onto small terraces. We kept them open during the day and into the evening to get the cool night air. At night we shut them and it was not too noisy. There is also a ventilation system, fan and AC, and be sure to get the instructions for them at check in.
WiFi could be somewhat weak at times. We weren't sure if it was simply the city location or perhaps the time of day that we were trying to use it. Something again to talk with the host.
We would definitely rent this apartment again. The best aspects of it were the great location, the comfortable common areas, and the hospitality of the host.
