We recently stayed at Vicente’s apartment for 4 nights. After we were provided with details of the best way to get to the apartment from the airport, we were greeted by one of Vicente’s friends who made us feel more than welcome and was very helpful in giving us tips and recommendations on the local area.
The apartment itself was simplistic yet perfect and had everything we needed and more. We were most blown away by the location of the apartment, with the balcony looking over a bustling square filled with tapas bars and coffee shops. The only thing we would mention is that the square can be a little noisy at times, as there is a restaurant situated directly below the apartment. Each of the 4 nights we were in Barcelona, we made use of the fabulous independently run restaurants the local area had to offer. Furthermore, the apartment was situated between Catalunya Square, and Barceloneta Beach (both being approximately a 20 minute walk).
Vicente was an excellent host, who was respectful of our privacy, and fast to reply to any questions. He kindly allowed us to leave our suitcases at the apartment after our 11am checkout which allowed us to have another day of exploring Barcelona before our late flight back.
Overall, we would highly recommend Vicente’s apartment, as the apartment itself and the location were perfect, as was the host.
