My two teenage sons and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Gaudi Suites III! We would stay here again. Mauro met us at the apartment the evening we landed, even though we were held up at the airport by a lost bag. He speaks passable English and was able to describe all the features of the apartment with me in a 10-15 minute walk around. We ended up spending more time than we had expected at the apartment due to Swiss Air's lack of communication around baggage delivery, and we were always comfortable. The two ceiling-level Mitsubishi A/C units were more than adequate in keeping the unit at a comfortable level despite the 30 Celsius August heat. The beds were very comfortable and even the middle room that has two beds was cool enough for one of my son's to sleep through the night. Both the dishwasher and the clothes washing machines worked well and were easy to navigate. There is a Keurig-like Bosch coffee machine that takes Tassimo coffee discs, but we did not use it, in favor of the Nescafé instant. The neighborhood felt very safe and there were plenty of restaurants and "supermercados" close by, with one GIANT Whole Foods-like market within two blocks. I My sons and I walked to the Sagrada Familia in 14 minutes, so the location is ideal! Mauro checked in with us by email to make sure everything was going well about half way through our stay. Overall, we really felt like we were authentic apartment dwellers in Barcelona for a few days!
