I’m not sure you could possibly get a better location, five minutes to the water and an easy walk to lots of the main sights and the awesome Santa Catarina food market where you should eat at the restaurant for lunch as it is delicious. This is not a perfect boring box, It’s a cool, relaxed, old school apartment with character on a narrow alley that couldn’t be anywhere else in the world than Barcelona. The roof terrace is fun for a workout in the morning or a cocktail once the sun starts to go down (it’s hot!) . The fact the apt had a washer and drier was so useful and while the AC is a bit rickety and there’s no Sonos the Wi-Fi worked really well and Manuel was a welcoming communicative host. We would stay here again in a second. If you do stay the cocktail bar and restaurant downstairs are both so good you will honestly will be missing out if you don’t try them and then enjoy the luxury of taking 10 steps to your front door.
