Charming 2 bedroom apartment in the neighbourhood of Gracia. Please note that the apartment is on the 2nd floor and like many charming old buildings in Barcelona, thereâs no elevator and the staircase is narrow.

I chose to stay in a more local side of town for this trip to Barcelona and this place did not disappoint. Photos match the unit. Bedrooms are nice size AND has a beautiful terrace outback. About a seven minute walk to the metro, which is only two stops from P.de Gracia. Air-conditioning did not blow ice cold, but it did keep the unit cool. Situated in a quiet local side of town no loud tourist or anything like that to worry about.. some mild construction was going on right on the street in front of my unit, but it was always wrapped up by normal business hours overall would definitely choose this place again lovely apartment.

No meals included. First stay in Barcelona and loved it. Appartement small but perfect for 4 people, simple decor and really appreciated the 2 small balconies.
This property was clean, roomy, and just a short walk away from the Joanic metro station. International cuisine abounds in this neighborhood. Great communication with hosts.
Beautiful large, quiet clean apartment in safe, non-tourist neighborhood. Check-in was remote via Whatsapp and then we were independent which is what we love. Highly recommended.
The condo was in a great neighborhood and location! Nice restaurant just up the street and a market right across the street. The patio was the real delight - very large and provate! The check-in process was a little difficult, and the 2nd bedroom is a little tight - but, overall, the place was good... I'd stay there again...
We liked this apartment and loved its location! Great area for walking and so easy to reach public transportation. The issues we experienced were: The registration/payment process was much harder than it should have been. The AC was not working (during a heatwave!) and it took a few days for the management to address it properly; once they did, it was much better. And while the manager was responsive during office hours, a word of caution: make sure that any problem you have with the apartment occurs b/t 9a and 6:30p lol; otherwise you will have to wait until the next day
Mark was super helpful to work with; very communicative and even helped me order a taxi to the train station on my final day. The apartment is in central Barcelona so you can easily walk to La Sagrada, metro, Park Guell, and Paseo de Gracia (Casa Mila, Casa Batllo, etc). There are local cafes, shops and restaurants outside so you will not go hungry. The backyard was great to eat out in the morning while having breakfast or for breaks. My mom and I loved the space and would happily book it again.
Property was perfect size for my daughter and I. The neighborhood had everything you need but you will be traveling to other areas of the city for shopping and sites with exception of Sagrada Familia. Subway was close. The apartment was well equipped and we enjoyed having the deck. My only suggestions for improvement would be better mattresses and pillows and cooler AC.
Agent met us in arrival and had arranged taxi for pick up and back to airport. Quiet neighborhood with groceries and small restaurants. We walked to Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell. $10 taxi to most places and safe,easy to find. Large patio weather permitting. Took train along coast to see friends. I had problem getting my card to pay ahead of time so Anne met us at check in to receive cc payment.

Mireia and Maria were really helpful hosts - great communication and also helped us with airport transfers which was beyond helpful! Everything was accurate with the apartment. Great location, easy to metros and shops! It had everything we needed! Perfect for a few nights. Only problem we had was 2 of the nights the above neighbours were very very noisy which did disturb us from sleeping but this is the only concern we had with the apartment . Thank you!!
This apartment was in a good neighborhood, had good Wi-Fi, but chemical odor diffusers were very distressing as well as the chemical smell on the sheets! Yuk
Before we left the U.S., we thought we had paid for our stay. However, 2 days before, we were contacted by owner (?) that it was not and the link sent to us didnât work. Several days before our stay, I asked where check-in info was and was told we had not completed info about us. We completed info, but still no check-in info. Got to apt at night and had no way to get on! Taxi driver stayed with us to help us figure out how to get in (which we paid him for). After calling VRBO multiple times, they unable to assist. Finally after about 2 hours, the mgr or owner unlocked the door remotely. We were exhausted, hungry and very frustrated, but didnât know neighborhood. Several residents of this apt. complex told us that this happened frequently to the VRBO guests (they couldnât figure out how to get in). And, as a last comment, we got pick-pocketed in this neighborhood.PSâŠwe tried to contact mgr/owner the night before to find out what we were to do with our key on leaving. We had to leave before she responded. Not a happy experience!
Property was very good, check in and payment process not.
The property was well equipped and comfortable. After requesting my reservation with VRBO, I got confusing emails which eventually wound up in me not paying with VRBO but with a Barcelona travel agency. That agency would not give me the address of my rental nor instructions on how to access the key. That was done by the taxi driver that the agency hired to take us from the the airport to the rental location. The description of the property noted it had a washer and dryer. Not true. No dryer, only an outside clothing line to hang wet clothes. The travel agency was responsive to solving a few minor issues with the rental.
The apartment is lovely and had a nice terrace. It's in a lively neighborhood with many restaurants, families, and elementary schools. It is not full of tourists. Most of the time it was quiet, except on Saturday when there was a street festival. We walked to Sagrada Familia, Picasso Museum, Casa Vincens, Palau de Musica, distances varied from 10 minutes to 45 minutes on foot. There was a washing machine but no dryer; you can hang clothes on the terrace. Kitchen well equipped. Listing says bidet; there is none. Smoking not allowed. Attempted digital check-in but service in the lobby was spotty and we ended up being let into the lobby by a tenant who was leaving and then having to call the agency, which was able to open the apartment door remotely.
The second bedroom was disappointing- there was a lack of fresh air , no air conditioning and the bed was very creaky - you could hear when a person moved even a little. My friend ended up sleeping on the sofa bed which defeated the purpose of renting a 2 bed flat.
Apart from that the apartment was lovely ! The terrace was great , spacious and airy . The kitchen was fully equipped and very clean. It was mostly very quiet and a handy location for sight seeing and transport.
We were a little anxious about getting entry to the apartment as communication by text and phone wasnât too clear but after a wait outside we eventually got access and later were greeted by a pleasant rep with a complimentary pack of toiletries and cleaning supplies.
Good: close to important sites (La Sagrada Familia, Park GrĂŒell, metro within 600m). Great apartment with its own private terrace! Comfortable and well-stocked (with one odd exception, see below). Super easy check-in and attentive staff. Great value for the cost!
Less good: No microwave? Really? Does no one eat take-away in Barcelona? Oddly noisy building, seemingly at all hours. Some of that was other transients, they took their 2am party with them. But other noises were more permanent (like the auto shop downstairs that thankfully closed around 6pm). Problem easily resolved with some white noise (and the apt could use a fan--we would've used that instead of the A/C).
Possible problems for others: Set up of building not conducive to anyone in a motorized personal mobility device but it seems that's true of every Spanish building I've been in. The shower is also only 2x3ft in diameter. I'm not sure a larger person would comfortably fit.
Overall though, for me, 4+ stars out of 5 (it needs a microwave).
