It’s an excellent location - - right on Plaça España, 2 min walk from the metro station and from Aerobus bus stop to/from airport and a large shopping center in 4-5 min walking distance. The area seems quite safe as there’s a police station right next door and the entrance door to the building locks with a key. The apartment itself is located on the top floor of the building and boasts a great view of the National Palace from the terrace. There are 3 small but very cozy bedrooms, a living/dining room, bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen has everything you need - all sorts of pots and pans, dishes, utensils, glasses, a toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle, large fridge, dishwasher, an induction cooker and an oven. I saw a blender in one of the cupboards, too. In a niche on the terrace there’s a washing machine and dryer, which was a real lifesaver because it’s very humid and it would take ages to dry the laundry without it. The sheets and towels are clean and fresh and there are extras in the bedroom cupboard. What’s important to remember is that there is no central heating in most of Barcelona, this building included, so it was quite chilly in February (compared to what we’re used to at home). However, firstly, there are 3 electric heaters in the apartment and the blankets are really warm, which helped and, secondly, you get used to it, but bringing a pair of slippers or warm socks to keep your feet warm on the tile floors is a good idea.
To sum it up, it’s an excellent place, I definitely recommend it. Thanks for the great experience, Javier!
