Our trip to Spain started by having the airline cancel our flight to Madrid due to a snowstorm 24 hours before our scheduled departure. As a result, our anticipated arrival time changed no less than 5 times. Despite this incredible difficulty, our contact worked with us and was able to have someone waiting at the flat when we finally did arrive almost a full day later than anticipated.
The flat is charming. It is located right on the Passeig de Gracia, between picturesque buildings filled with shops. The downside of this is that the street is quite noisy at night. It didn't bother me, but if noise is a problem for you, bring some earplugs! We enjoyed this neighborhood very much. The architecture is wonderful! The closest metro stop is directly in front of La Pedrera, which we got to walk past every day on our way out and about town.
Do note that the flat is not well-equipped for extensive cooking, there being no oven and just two small cooktop burners.
The terraces are at the rear of the flat and are delightful.
