Our family stayed in this apartment for a week during Thanksgiving week. Six adults, five bedrooms/baths. This was a very clean and large apartment perfect for a family to spread out. Could easily accommodate 5 couples. Check in was easy and the host was quick to respond to every message/phone call.
This is an amazing location. We were able to walk to several surrounding neighborhoods to explore, eat, drink, visit museums, etc. The apartment is steps away from the underground, bus station, shopping, etc. Passeig de Gracia is just around the corner as well.
There is a market next door as well, very convenient.
We stopped at the local bar (Cervecería Ogham) right next door to the apartment each night for a pint and a snack before we went to dinner. If you are into craft beer, this is the place. You wont be disappointed.
La Rambla is very close walk which we walked through several times to go to Mercat de la Boqueria. We also walked to the Gothic quarter several times to explore museums, bars, sites, Basilica, etc.
We used public transportation to visit Botanical gardens, La Sagrada Familia, Park Guell and other neighborhoods. We had Barcelona Passes that gave us unlimited access to all the public transportation. Taxis are everywhere as well.
In response to prior reviewer comments on the graffiti - this is part of the culture Not a sign of "bad area"
We had a great vacation & would stay here again. We would recommend to anyone looking to visit Barcelona.
