We were a family of four (2 adults 2 teenagers) traveling during Christmas. The location was perfect, short walk to Las Ramblas and Plaça de Catalunya. From the balcony we could see the water fountains in Plaça de Catalunya. Restaurants and small markets were close by. We appreciated having a small washing machine available to us. Beds were comfortable, the bathroom was newly remodeled and overall the apartment was clean. Communication with Angel prior and during our stay was great, as he was very responsive. The apartment is so close to the major sights, yet the street it is on felt safe. We found the apartment complex itself to be quiet and the shutters kept the rooms quiet too. The kitchen had everything we needed if we had chosen to cook. We did use the microwave, toaster, coffee maker and fridge. Coffee maker uses #2 coffee filters. Highly recommend the Crepe Restaurant right across the street. Short walk to La Boqueria, public market, where you can find lots of great selections of food and goods. The location of Angel’s place was ideal for travelers wanting to be close to all of the action, but a mere block away having a nice apartment to retreat to. Would highly recommend this apartment and would stay again ourselves.
