This two bedroom, fourth floor apartment is superbly located 15 minutes walk from both Las Ramblas and Sagrada Famila and just 200 meters from the fancy shopping street, Passeig de Gracia. There is a small lift which is essential unless you are very fit.
The apartment looks great in the photos but we were slightly disappointed on arrival as it did not look as good in reality. It is painted throughout in dark green which makes it feel quite dark during the day but it’s cosy at night and quite stylish.
There were a few issues too ie very dark master bath as the shower lights had been disconnected for safety reason apparently. There was a cupboard door hanging off the kitchen unit and the master bedroom is extremely noisy until the early hours as the apartment is located on a very busy road. Ear plugs are advisable.
There are many extremely good restaurants nearby and we loved 9Nine which was delicious and great value €34 fixed menu. We also loved Cerveseria Catalana on Carrer De Mallorca.....long queue but well worth the wait. There is a bakery directly across the road that serves coffee and delicious pastries.
Paul checked us in early and was fantastic throughout our stay.
Overall we had a wonderful time and with a bit of attention this would be 5 star all the way.
We paid £943 for three nights, which I thought was a bit too much for this property, although it was UK half term (February).
