Fab little apartment in a great area

Loved our stay in this cute, clean apartment. Our host was out of town when we arrived but had arranged for us to be greeted by someone else which was perfect. We found the location was just terrific…easy walks for our nice coffees in the am, easy access via Ave Parallel to La Rambla and some activities we had lined up, pretty terraces for prosecco in the early eve, and nice bistros in the Parlement area. We also walked all the way to the Sagrada from the apartment too which is entirely possible for those who enjoy a good walk..

Quiet neighbourhood within 30 mins walk of most tourist destinations

Very functional and convenient. Walking through main bedroom to get to shower and toilet a bit disappointing if a friend is using the small 2nd bedroom. The 2-3 storey walk up should be noted - but overall a pleasant place and cost-effective.

Beautiful historic apartment with updates

This apartment is a lovely blend of old and new— beautiful old tile floors, antiques, then a modern bath and well stocked kitchen. We loved the neighborhood as it is near but not directly in the tourist areas. It is about one block from the PobleSec metro and bus line directly downtown, there are groceries, restaurants and bars just steps from the apartment. One caveat, there are a lot of narrow stairs to reach the third floor so it is not a good option for anyone who has mobility issues. Frederic met us right at arrival and helped with bags, he was excellent with communication and overall a very gracious and helpful host!

Great place

Fantastic and authentic apartment with a great location, close to shopping, public transport, and plenty of restaurants and bars. The apartment is well-equipped and has a lovely little balcony. Frederic greeted us on time and gave us great tips for our stay. If you’re into football, it’s close to FC Barcelona’s temporary home stadium, and only a 45-minute walk to Camp Nou. We’d love to come back!

Excellent location!

The property is well maintained and was clean when we got there. The best thing about it is its location. It is a short walk to the metro station (5 mins) and there is lots of eating establishments right nearby. Across the street are several small grocery stores and a slightly larger one in the nearby square. The apartment had plenty of room for our group of four and it’s nice that the bathroom was separate from the shower as it allowed us to multitask. The only thing to be aware of is that it is two flights up and there are no elevators. We love the view and would recommend this property to others. Additionally shout out to Frederick as he was able to help us with the request on short notice.

Great location, gracious old apartment

We really appreciated Fanny who was so understanding about out delayed flight and late check in. She gave us some good eating recommendations for the locale. The apartment was really generous in size and a relaxed, if slightly dated place. Great location and quiet area.

Nice place for a (short) stay in Barcelona

Great apartment in a convenient location. Apartment is equipped with all you need. There was quite some noise in the building complex and on the street, but that was for us not an issue. The owner is very kind and helpful. If you want to have the feeling that you are living in Barcelona we can definitely recommend this place.

Beautiful apartment

Overall the stay was great. We enjoyed how close the apartment was to attractions and local restaurants. Only complaint was we ran out of toilet paper on the last night and the shower light wasn’t functioning. Regardless of the small mishap, we loved the stay and would do it again

Perfect space for 2-3 in Barcelona

Absolute perfect location for two friends or a small family. We loved the neighborhood and quick walking or transit access to all Barcelona has to offer. We had a small miscommunication on our checkout, but the way the host handled it makes me recommend the space even more. I would absolutely stay again on a return to Barcelona.

I'm french but fluent in English ;) and live in Barcelona for years now where I run a company dedicated in importing furniture and antiques from India. I will be happy to share my enthusiasm and knowledge about this great city.

Why they chose this property

I started with touristic rental 8 years ago while I was living in Amsterdam. I discovered then a real enjoyment to welcome travelers travelers and to share with them my local places and to help them to discover the unusually seen in touristic trips. I know for having traveled quite a lot how important is to have the right contacts in a city !!

What makes this property unique

Great Neighbourhood central and well communicated.
Neighbourhood authentically spanish, quiet and... in the last years becoming the bohemian place to be, attracting more and more artists, musicians and self employed young entrepreneurs.
Apartment spacious, comfortable et totally equipped.
