If you’re pouring over reviews trying to decide where to stay, don’t hesitate to book Summertime.
The pictures are all accurate. The garden is a lovely oasis. The apartment is big - we slept two adults, one 18 yr old, and 2 kids age 10 and 8. We could have easily had 2 more.
The apartment is well equipped. There are several markets within blocks and we enjoyed making breakfast each day and dinner a couple of times.
Teresa has lived in the area for a long time. She has great recommendations for local eateries, bakeries, and markets. She lives right upstairs and she won’t intrude on you but is available.
It’s an apartment in the city, so there is some noise. If you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs or a sound machine. The two bedrooms on the street are quieter than the ones on the garden. The black put shades are fantastic.
The apartment has a juicer. You can get 2 kg of Oranges for less than 3 euros! What a treat.
As far as location, the neighborhood is great. Easy walk to the metro and Park Güell. We used the mytaxi app a lot to start our day and all rides were $9-20.
We stayed for 7 nights and had such a lovely time.
