I cannot recommend Gaudi's Mansard highly enough. My mother and I stayed there for 5 nights and we were very happy & comfortable. The apartment is very modern and clean. Enric & Packo were very welcoming and only one call away if we required anything & even provided a mobile to contact them on. They provided breakfast for our first morning, which was a lovely touch. The ceiling in the bedroom is low but please do not let this put you off as the bed itself is very comfortable with a wonderful view of the Segrada Familia from the skylight and there is ample living space everywhere else in the apartment. There is also plenty of storage space. The building may not have a lift but if my mother who is 77 can make the journey up the stairs without any trouble anyone fit & healthy can do the same. The apartment was very quiet which trust me can be quite unusual for Barcelona. The neighbourhood is very centrally located. The metro is just around the corner, you can be in the centre of Barcelona within 15 minutes, there are bus routes nearby which will bring you to the cities main beaches. When you are leaving you have the choice of either getting the one metro to Sants to catch the train to the airport or getting the one metro to Place Catalunya were you can catch the airport bus, both of which are very easy journeys. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby and also a supermarket on the corner which stocks all that you would need for your stay. We really enjoyed our stay in Gaudi's Mansard are in no doubt anyone would. Thank you again Enric & Packo.
