Great location for our sightseeing. Tons of restaurants and shops nearby (and Aldi for groceries). Kids loved sitting at the windows and people-watching.
We stayed 4 nights. The location is perfect, literally right next to Sagrada Familia and Metro. The apartment is small but very efficient and clean. Mar was a pleasure to deal with.
My friend and I spent 5 nights in this comfortable apartment very near Sagrada Familia. The beds are great, with plenty of towels and bed linens. The bathroom is a bit small but quite functional. The kitchen is also functional, although I would recommend that a new coffee pot be added - the old one is quite old and I would not drink anything made in it. We loved looking out the window at Sagrada Familia from the table in the living room area, and the proximity to public transportation makes it perfect. I would also recommend that the owners leave a list of recommended restaurants and their locations, as well as some maps and materials pertaining to sites to visit.
We were unsure what would be the best area of Barcelona to be based in, but weâre very happy to have chosen Marâs apartment just 300 m from Sagrada Familia. Every day of our 4 day stay ended on the promenade outside the basilica, enjoying the soloist violin playing with other tourists and locals congregated there. It was quite magical.
The apartment is well appointed for 4 ppl, plenty of cookery to prepare a meal or enjoy a visit after a busy day touring the endless sites of the city.
The beds were comfortable, good Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
There was definitely street noise late into the evening and early hours,but once we purchased silicon earplugs, our sleep was uninterrupted.
Lots of restaurants, wine shops, grocery stores steps away.
Highly recommended
It would have helped tremendously if there were instructions on how to operate coffee maker and washing machine. No information for trash disposal nor recycling. We had to hunt for wifi information. The WiFi was not working then we realized it was disconnected. I sent message to management and they never responded. There was no check out instructions, so we just sent a message letting them know we were departing at 7:30. No response.
The apt. is very nice, the neighborhood has everything you need, but the view of the cathedral is priceless. Easy to find and easy to check in. Thank you so much
We have rented many VRBOâs around the world. Unfortunately this was the worst. The apartment was not as advertised. Apartment has been hard used not newly renovated. The black mold with smell on the bathroom ceiling and inside the shower were unacceptable. As well, the smell of sewer coming out of the sink made the bathroom relatively unusable so we used the coffee shop across the street. We contacted the owner with explanation of concerns but no response. She was however excellent at booking process and entry. We left disappointed.
Thank you Mar for a very nice stay. Mar was very patient as our international flight was delayed. Kept on good communicate with me as we needed to rearrange travel. Laura was waiting patiently for us when we arrived. Comfortable beds and pillows. Great location to many of the sights we wanted to see. Easy check out as well. View of Sagrada Familia was extra special.
We were initially reluctant to stay out of the main historic area, but wound up loving this location. Wonderful to see Sagrada Familia every time you step outside, exceptionally quiet, and only a few steps from the Metro, which will take you anywhere. (Well, except for Park Guell.) A nearby pedestrian street lined with cafes, right in line with the Sagrada Familia, so you can see it while you eat. No shower soap or shampoo in the bathroom - bring your own.
Location - great if you plan to visit the Sagrada Familia, Park Guell or use the hop on/off bus. Minutes to restaurants and taxis right outside door.
WiFi/Cable TV - fast wifi and there were English channels on the tube.
A/C in each bedroom and living room as well, which came in real handy
Host was gracious and friendly.
Minus 1.5 star for lack of what I consider a couple basics such as salt and pepper or oil or paper towels. Bathroom door knob was broken and fell off repeatedly, closet had a slight musty smell (possibly due to humidity) so we did not hang clothes there, and the walls could use a coat of paint and the shower a deep clean. Address these simple issues and rating goes to 5 stars.
Waking up and going to sleep to this magnificent architectural masterpiece was without question, fabulous! The beds were very comfortable, and it was so much nicer than staying at a hotel. There were so many local shops nearby which gave us a glimpse into Spain's culture. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful. Around the corner was a city tour bus line which was well worth the cost. It stops at all of the best sites in Barcelona.
I would advise anyone who is staying here to go on-line and book a visit at the La Sagrada Familia. It is the best way to ensure you will be able to take tour. It is a must see! I would definitely recommend this accommodation for its price, comfort, and location.
The apartment was clean and just as described. We greatly appreciated Mar allowing us to drop off our luggage early so we could go explore the area. Every thing you will need and more is within walking distance. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.
