The description of the best terrace view of the Sagrada is not a lie. The view is stunning. The terrace is up one flight of stairs and offers wonderful views of the city as well as the incredible Sagrada rising before you. The apartment is great as well, 3 bedrooms slept 5 (3 adults, 2 teenagers), 1 bedroom contains a daybed (pull out) which leaves little additional space to move around but the other 2 rooms are fine. There is a small balcony that looks into the interior space of the apartment block offering a nice area to enjoy the outdoors for coffee, wine or...
The apt was clean & well furnished, including towels, sheets, pillows, blankets, plates, glasses, a coffee maker, toaster and oven. 1 Bathroom with a spacious shower, a typical European apartment kitchen that packs in the refrigerator, dishwasher and combo washer/dryer. Having a clothes washer was key & worked fine, as you would expect in this type of combo unit the dryer wasn't as good. But the breezes available allowed us to put out the clothes like the rest of the neighbors. Large screen TV with many channels allowed us to watch the world cup games, wifi was fast, even with 5 uploading pictures all the time. The location is fantastic, right at a metro stop and as noted in another review a wonderful park with swings right in front of the building. We also noted a very safe feeling in and around the area, also getting back quite late. Convenient market and other stores nearby as well as some tapas bars. Communication with Enrique was easy thru airbnb and he was quick to respond to questions and offer assistance. It was easy getting into the apartment even though we arrived around 6 pm. He had someone (thanks Illya) meet us and show us around the apt and offer sightseeing tips. We could go on forever but would absolutely come back here. Enrique also had nice bottle of wine waiting for us to toast our arrival. After a long day of travel it was a wonderful surprise and started our visit off perfectly. This was our first airbnb experience and it couldn't have been better. Hopefully all will be this good. Thanks Enrique.
