We stayed here for a week. We loved the location, with the supermarket directly across the street and the cafés, restaurants and bars nearby. The metro station Rocafort is about 5 minutes walk (exit Calabria) but you can walk into the old centre of Barcelona, if you like walking. You are about a 15 minute walk away from Senor Vermut, which we recommend. Eixample is an excellent quiet district in which to stay.
Based on earlier reviews, we expected that the apartment might be a little worse for wear: some furnishings and the paintwork are very tired but I understand that a renovation is due soon. It does not take away from your experience of the apartment. It is really comfortable and a pleasure to be in.
We slept in the bedroom away from the street to avoid noise and the bed is a proper bed. The other one looks like it folds up and seemed to have a dip in it. I am a light sleeper and found it very quiet. We slept quite soundly. The automatic shutters fitted all over the apartment block all light. The balcony is very large and a wonderful asset to the listing. The air-conditioning works very well.
Previous guests had left oil, salt, detergent etc and we left non-perishables for the next guests. most utensils are provided but it seems to be a bit of a hotchpotch. In particular we noticed there were no other binbags or an explanation of how the bins worked, although you can figure out out from the city website. Also no ice-cube tray. We sometimes ate our three meals there so would have noticed these more than others!
Jordan and Christian were quick to respond to us and Christian took the time to sit with us on arrival and go though a map of the city.
We would definitely rent the apartment again if visiting the Barcelona. I hope this is all helpful!
