We had such a wonderful stay at Eloy and Maria’s apartment. The apartment itself was incredibly clean, well-decorated and felt instantly like home. Eloy was very communicative and met us promptly upon our arrival, helping us get our bags upstairs and get us situated. He took the time to not only walk us through everything in the apartment, but he also walked us through the map of the city, helped us figure out the metro system and gave us a ton of recommendations for what to see during our stay.
The location of the apartment was perfect. We were in Barcelona during the taxi strike, which also made getting Ubers very difficult. In a lot of cities or other apartments, this might have really complicated our stay, but we found that we were able to walk pretty much everywhere we wanted to go (and for the couple instances where we didn’t walk, several metro lines are within a few blocks).
Eloy also goes above and beyond with the amenities in his apartment. From the toiletries to the fact that there are FOUR different types of coffee makers, he really does give you everything you could possibly need to feel at home. He even left us some treats and a bottle of champagne, as he knew that we were celebrating our anniversary.
If you’re thinking about booking this apartment, just do it. The neighborhood is full of amazing restaurants, you’re right next to a wonderful market and all of Barcelona’s must-see attractions are a max 20 minute walk away (with many being much closer).
