Sofia’s apartment is exactly as the pictures show. My adult daughter and I were traveling. We are frequent travelers. We were willing to pay a bit more for fresh furnishings and a kitchen that wasn’t sitting at one corner of the living room. We had a separate living and dining area with that nice balcony with the view of Montjuic. The kitchen had everything that anyone would need, although we only used the tea kettle and the nice wine glasses.
We like having two bathrooms. The beds, for Europe, were comfortable, relatively soft. Often, beds in Europe are too hard for American tastes, like sleeping on a bed of rock. These beds were fine.
We liked the building, which was quiet and secure. This is not a building for partiers. It was perfect for us. The neighborhood is upscale and, as in many areas of Barcelona, we felt safe walking around at night. We walked virtually everywhere, 20-30 minutes to Gracia, Gothic quarter, a bit further to Barceloneta. There is a taxi stop a block away at the hospital. We took taxis twice.
Sofia answered any questions we had promptly and thoroughly. Checkin was easy. The apartment is well maintained. She is an excellent host. We loved Barcelona and this apartment and would gladly stay there again.
