I spent 9 nights in Finn’s apartment and it is a fantastic place to base yourself in Barcelona! Before we arrived, Finn was in touch with any information we could need, and the whole check-in process was very smooth.

Regarding the area, there is plenty going on around the Sagrada Familia. We found some very tasty places to eat for lunch which were around the corner from the apartment (El Tastet de L’Artur was lovely and we also had beautiful fish in Maris&Co which was excellent value). I’d also recommend Il Forno for great pastries and coffee. Those places are literally on your doorstep, but it’s also a very easy and pleasant 20 minute walk to Gracia where there are plenty of excellent restaurants. Of course, there’s easy access to the centre of Barcelona. The metro is very close by, or a taxi is around €7. We also walked in and out when it wasn’t very hot.

The apartment itself has everything you would need - comfortable beds (although the bedrooms are small), a good shower and plenty of light and space in the living room. There is a fully fitted and functioning kitchen with a nespresso machine which was a nice touch. To top it all off, the terrace is fantastic!! It really makes the apartment. We had beautiful weather so we were able to lie out on the sun loungers for a little while before starting the day. It made the holiday very relaxing.

Hopefully we’ll get to use Finn’s apartment again. I’d highly recommend it!
