Our stay in this apartment was absolutely phenomenal. Firstly, the apartment itself is really nicely decorated with beautiful original features, and modern furniture. The bathroom practically feels like a tropical spa! The apartment really does feel like a home, and we just loved spending time here. Being high up in the building the little balcony has classic views of the gothic area of Barcelona.
Even more importantly, the location of the apartment is brilliant; just two minutes from Las Ramblas but still in a quiet street - so the city noise doesn't affect people in the apartment much. We found cute bakeries and cafés very close; as well as great pubs, bars and restaurants. It's very easy to walk to fantastic areas such as El Raval, El Born, Gracia and Eixample - and the sunset in Port Vell is amazing, as well as being within walking distance to the beach.
For us, the best part of our stay was our hosts; they are both so friendly, welcoming and very helpful, and made our time in Barcelona easy and very memorable.
All in all, we would recommend this airbnb to all of our friends and family; the perfect way to experience Barcelona!
