Gracious, Spacious, Well Situated, and Stylish!
From our initial contact when booking the flat, to our last minute request for help booking a taxi for our large family, Enric was an accommodating and gracious host. We were particularly impressed with him personally greeting us upon our arrival, giving us a tour of the flat, orienting us to the neighbourhood and city, and providing useful tips and recommendations to Barcelona's sites, activities, stores and restaurants. It was also a pleasant surprise to have the fridge and pantry well stocked with essentials and treats. Thank you Enric!
The apartment is clean, well kept, designed well, and very stylish. The view from the living room is spectacular! It sits directly across the street from the masterpiece Sacrada Famiglia.
The apartment is very spacious. We are a family of six. We have rented many other flats in the past that were 'tight' for us. Not so with this flat. The bedrooms were large enough and comfortable for us. The living area is huge and provided alot of room for our boys to spawl around after a day filled with activities. The dining table easily accommodated the six of us. The kitchen is well equipped, beautiful and provides ample room for meal preparation.
The apartment is well situated in the city. It is located directly across the street from Sagrada Famiglia, a Metro Station with two lines running through it, and a Hop On/Hop Off bus stop. From here, you can easily access other neighbourhoods and sites in the city quickly and cheaply. We walked to the Casa Mila (Pedrera) in about 20 minutes. The neighbourhood was lively and felt safe. There are many 'touristy' restaurants, fast food restaurants, and coffee shops. There is a good grocery store and wine store only two minute walk away.
Overall, I strongly recommend this apartment. We had a wonderful time in Barcelona, and the accommodation greatly added to our enjoyment. I hope to return to Barcelona soon, and would rent Enric's apartment without hesitation.
