This is a cute and cosy apartment in a fantastic location. The view from the rooftop terrace was breathtaking both in the day and night with spectacular views of the sprawling city and Montjuic. Roberto communicated very well with us and was flexible in allowing us to check in a lot earlier than his guests usually arrive which helped us out considerably. The apartment was professionally cleaned and well stocked for all needs; cleaning, cooking, bathing, laundry etc. We visited in January and the air con heated the flat well. The bed made for a good night's sleep and there was plenty of space for storing clothes. There are a good few flights of stairs up to the apartment but we got used to them and the rooftop terrace is definitely worth the effort.
The location of the flat was really handy for getting around. It is accessible from the airport via a cheap bus to Plaza Espanya and then a short walk or quick metro. The Placa da Sants Metro is right around the corner from the apartment so we were able to get to places like Placa Catalunya, La Rambla and Camp Nou in a short time without spending much money due to fantastic metro links.
The local area itself was really charming with plenty of places to eat and shop. There was a grocers right next door selling delicious fruit, lots of trendy bars and plenty of fine local restaurants that seemed to be very popular with the locals.There was a warm and welcoming atmosphere and we felt really safe there.
Finally, we had a really early flight on our last day and Roberto arranged a lift for us. The driver arrived well in time, was friendly and polite and got us to the airport well on time.
Would definitely recommend the flat to a friend and will hope to visit there again some day.
