Location was great and the view from the attic terrace is amazing!! The apartment is very close to Segrada Familia , you will never tire looking at this masterpiece up close .
The apartment was very clean and well equipped with basic needs. It is smaller in person than photos , which I expected from past reviews. However the apartment was perfect for my family of 3 and sometime 4 ( when daughter slept over).
The kitchen was well equipped with what you would need. Having a laundry machine with a dryer was a nice perk.
The shower pressure was great and hot water never an issue .
A small trash receptacle added to bathroom would be an easy add on for convenience, but not a big deal at all !
The living room has a
small comfortable sofa, which was fine for 2 pp to enjoy while watching television. Traveling with a teenager, we appreciated the smart tv to watch some Netflix shows while acclimating to time change and after long days out & about.
Not much natural lighting in bedrooms which is too be expected in city apartments .
The beds and pillows are pretty uncomfortable, very firm almost stiff , we all woke up feeling sore each morning and not very rested.
Luckily you are usually pretty tired. The walls are VERY thin which I normally do not mind and understand in older apartments, however a close by neighbor was constantly screaming at someone, who in turn would be weaping loudly for upwards an hour. One night or early am it was pounding loudly on the door for over an hour while yelling & screaming. Not our business but only natural to hope all is ok in this situation that unfortunately we were forced to hear all week.
The metro system is very easy to navigate throughout Barcelona and there are many stations around Segrada Familia.
The immediate area is very touristy , however you can walk any direction to get off “the tourist path” and find lovely local cafes and restaurants .
Josep was wonderful with communication. We arrived earlier than check in and Josep offered options for baggage storage and was able to accommodate an early check in which was vey helpful.
Thank you Josep we will love to stay again when back to Barcelona !
