We highly recommend this apartment: 1) Excellent location: You are in city centre. Front road is busy. But when double- glazed windows are shut (and the bedrooms are all in the back of the apartment), there are no noise issues to disturb your sleep. A simple 5 minute walk to La Pedrera. You are right on Passeig de Ggracia (like 5th Avenue in New York). Lots and lots of restaurants, shops. Continue 5 more minutes walk further to Casa Batlo. 1 metro stop to La Sagrada. Direct line to La Rambla. Metro stop (Verdaguer) is simple 3 minute walk away from apartment. Passeig de Gracia is a Renfe train stop. For 1 euro, you can take the Renfe DIRECTLY to and from the airport. That is incredible. This Passeig de Gracia stop is about a 15 minute walk (with hauling luggage) from the apartment. We did it. Just budget time to walk leisurely. What a money saver. You can change from Passeig de Gracia Renfe stop to metro, to Verdaguer. We decided to walk instead, to avoid the hassle of hauling luggage to change metro stops. Taxi from airport was 41 euros. Small supermarkets on your street. Larger Lidl supermarket with good prices just 5 minute walk. (Ask Camilo or Maria to point you where the are.) Bakeries, burrito place, empanada close by. Very very convenient. 2) Apartment itself is spacious and airy. The bedroom with the single bed does not have windows. Just keep the bedroom door open and you will be fine. In the morning, just open the living room balcony door and fresh air flows through the corridor into all rooms quickly. There is an extra pull-out bed in this bedroom. 3) we especially appreciated the automatic adjustable shutters bringing bedroom to darkness for sleep, if that is what you need. 4) Apartment is on one floor above the street. Elevator for luggage. Caretaker Maria is there all the time for questions. Washing machine in good working order. Dryer is out of order. Just hang dry your clothes and let fresh air in when you are there. They will dry in 24 hours. Lots of lights to keep apartment bright. 5) 2nd bathroom with shower is small with little shelf space, so adjust your routine accordingly. 5) Nothing is perfect and we gave Joaqium some small suggestions to increase comfort level. All in all, the apartment has lots of good points and we highly recommend this to others.
