The good: This apartment’s location is superb, close to everything most important landmarks are about 10-25 min walking which is great, since Barcelona is a huge city. The flat is also steps away from a ton of great restaurants, so no matter the time, you have options to grab a bite, a coffee, drinks, and even several supermarkets like ALDI close by if you prefer to cook. The kitchen is a good size and well equipped to make basic meals, we especially loved making breakfast here, and found the in house washer & dryer great, and easy to use.
The Bad: I don’t see enough reviews or details stating that you have to climb up about 5 floors (63 steps to be exact) to get to the apartment! We were under the impression that there would be an elevator as the apartment looks pretty modern, (our mistake for not checking the amenities) but that is not the case. Be warned that the building is what looks to be an old, historic apartment complex with NO ELEVATOR and a steep climb up very narrow steps. This was especially bad for us because my mom struggled to climb up and down the stairs every time we had to leave the apartment, and let me not even get started on lugging up heavy bags to the apartment.. Thankfully when one of the neighbors saw us struggling with our 50+ lbs bag, he helped us carry it up stairs, but even he was out of breath when we got up there.
Though personally I thought the place could use more light, the apartment is nice and comfortable so if you don’t mind lots of stairs, I definitely recommend it for the location, great communication and amenities, but if you have reduced mobility or are traveling with a senior, kids, or heavy luggage, I’d think twice.
