Wow.

That is the one word review that perfectly captures what Anna (architect/ interior designer) and Albert (construction engineer) have on offer for those lucky enough to find this property. The photos do not capture just how amazing this flat is.

The apartment is self-contained on the second floor of a two story home with absolutely stunning views of Tibidabo. From the master bedroom you can even catch a view of the port. The two large terraces, windows, amount of natural light in the home, and modern furnishings (kitchen appliances are especially impressive) are an incredible value for Barcelona.

Quiet is probably important to you if you are looking to get away from the city center, where it is usually impossible to get a decent nights sleep. The entire flat is outfitted with soundproof windows and automatic blinds. This in a part of the city that is already very quiet. However, there is still great access to the city center with a green line station being only a minutes walk away, putting passeig de gracia, plaza catalunya, and diagonal shopping at your front door.

The neighborhood itself is not only more secure than the city center, but the home also has impressive alarm system, cameras and changing key codes for access.

The green hills of collserola park with its great views, running and mountain biking, are ten minutes walk. Albert, also a runner, was very helpful in identifying the best bits of the park and some of his favorite routes.

Being locals, Albert and Anna are great hosts and I would recommend their place for an extended stay, long weekend, romantic getaway or a large family. We will return!
