Wonderful stay at a central location in Barcelona
The apartment was clean and spacious. We were 5 guests and there was comfortably room for 7. The beds were comfortable. TheMediterranean & Columbus monument were visible from the balcony. The neighborhood was relatively quiet apart from some street noise (busy intersection).
We did many things in comfortable walking distance, including the Gothic Quarter, La Rambla, markets, Cathedral, Picasso Museum, Palau de la Música Catalana and walking to the harbor.
Taxi service was quick just by hailing them from the front door. Travel tips: 1) avoid Uber which was consistently late, unreliable, and expensive. 2) Map out the direction you’re going to choose which side of the street to hail a cab. Many one-way streets in Barcelona can add time and expense to your trip, otherwise. 3) The Metro is clean, fast, and reliable and costs about 1/2 or less than cab fare.
The apartment is convenient for people with disabilities with elevators and one-level floor plan.
We used the clothes washer and it worked great. A small instruction sheet could have been helpful. Alonso, the person who met and checked us in was timely and clear with communications. The only small inconveniences were 1) some bedside lights lacked lightbulbs. We traded lights from the unoccupied room. 2) it would have been helpful to have trash cans in bathrooms. Guests should take trash to receptacles on street on departure. I missed WhatsApp note to do that. Could be helpful to have note in apartment with checkout info.
