It was in an ok location about 20 mins from central barcelona. Air conditioner was inadequate. One in lounge didnât work properly. Oven didnât work either.Overall the property was adequate for our needs
This a beautiful property well located near Barcelona. The metro and bus stops are just 3 minutes away.I loved how clean the apartment was. I highly recommend it.
This is an amazing top floor space where families can spread out. It has beautiful views and is outside the city center but very accessible to everything. Carmen was so easy to work with and was very kind to accommodate all of our travel plans. It was wonderful!!
This place is perfect this place is near to bus stop, subway station, and restaurants. The apartment is impeccable and spacious. Carmen is super friendly and helpful, she gave us good advice how to navigate the city, we would stay here again. Highly recommended
Apartment was VERY clean with great views of the city. The sunrises were spectacular! Very close to metro, grocery store and restaurants. Carmen was fabulous and kept us completely informed before our arrival.

Beautiful apartment and excellent hostess. The apartment is in a wonderful location with all amenities and tastefully decorated. Carmen is an excellent communicator and helpful in every way.
It is really a pleasure to stay here. Very big appartement and very clean.
It is near the metrostation which brings you in 15 minutes to for example Sagrada Familia.
The supermarket is also very close and a nice typical Spanish restaurant just around the corner. Thanks fot the tip Felicia!
We had a great stay at Carmenâs VRBO. The property was what we were looking for situated very close to the metro which allowed easy access to the various points we visited in the city. The two areas in the property were perfect for 2 couples. We lost communication with our host after our check in, had no response to our inquiries. The place was clean and it was in a quiet neighbourhood. Only 2 elements worked on stove. Penthouse suite was sweet.
Apartment located in very good spot, close to public transport and stores. Really well prepared and equipped, everything was working as supposed.
Also view in the night was amazing.
I recommend, 10/10. Hopefully, I will come back one day in future.
Property manager went out of her way to ensure we had a smooth check in. Even though we were an hour later than planned, she adjusted her schedule to accommodate our check in.

Carmen in Barcelona
The hist carmen was not patient on explaining the information about the apartment. When we adked bia email about how to adjusting temperature since the AC didn't work, she never responded to our email. We could sleep much due hit temperature
.
The condo is very spacious and the floor plan with bedrooms separated by the main living area provided a lot of privacy for two couples. The condo is well outfitted with everything including shampoo, body wash, hand soap and coffee pods that were provided by Carmen. We enjoyed the large terrace when the weather was warmer. Location is great with just a short walk to shopping and restaurants. We were able to find parking for our rental car down the street from the condo. Carmen was very responsive to our many questions and offered to come over to show us how to operate the oven when we couldnât get the oven to work. It would be helpful to have written instructions for oven operation. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend staying here.
The property was great and exactly as described! This was a very spacious unit for our party of 4 and seems to be able to fit up to 6 comfortably. Our host Carmen was amazing since the day we booked the unit! She reached out to introduce herself and provided local restaurant options upon our request. She made herself available during our stay in case we needed anything and was very patient when we got lost and checked in an hour late. We really enjoyed the location since it was a couple blocks away from one of the metro stops and a variety of restaurants. Since this location is outside of the city center, it allowed us to rub elbows with the locals but was a quick metro ride into the main city center. We will definitely stay here again!

Beware Host is Money Hungry
We stayed at Carmenâs apartment for a 3 nights stay prior to a cruise from Barcelona. The apartment looks just like it shows in the pictures. However some of the appliances didnât work. For example, the stove had several broken knobs, two burners and the oven didnât turn on. There are cameras all over the apartment. We felt a lock of privacy.
The linen and towels were received in very bad conditions with holes and discoloration. I was surprised to receive an added fee from Carmen for stained towels. This woman is trying to find a way to charge additional fees. Very dishonest!!
Stay away!! DO NOT RENT this place.
Let's start with the positives, and there are many positives to mention. First, the neighborhood is delightful, filled with pubs bakeries, coffee houses, and restaurants, with wonderful Spaniards (but not so many tourists) enjoying themselves well into the night. But central Barcelona is only a couple of metro stops away from the very convenient local station. The apartment itself reminds me of so many middle-class, nicely appointed abodes I've been to, and lived in, around Europe. All the rooms can be shut off by doors, allowing for wonderful privacy. And the terraces are amazing, off of almost every room, with views across Barcelona.
The only problem was with check-in. We secured this property for five of us, with two others opting for a hotel in town. The two others had their own car, so we put all our luggage into the car, and we flew on Vueling without baggage fees. Then Vueling delayed the flight, so the two in the car would arrive first, drop the luggage, and be with friends for dinner. We would arrive later. Absolutely not, said Carmen, without offering some alternative, like leaving the key with a neighbor or a friendly local shop. I understand that receiving two groups at two different times is burdensome, but at those prices, I certainly would have expected more flexibility on her part. Her husband, who received us, BTW, was delightful.
For 3 single people this apartment was amazing. I think really its two apartments in one so we had a huge amount of space. Itâs basically the entire top floor with a huge terrace and a balcony on the other side giving you amazing views of Barcelona, Badalona and the surrounding hills. the kitchen and dining area are perfect and the three bedrooms are spacious and very pleasant. An extra friend of ours decided last minute to come and join us and the host kindly didnât have a problem with us doing this but made it quite clear that he wasnât to sleep on the couch. There was some form of camp bed cushion in the wardrobe which he used on the lounge floor but it wasnât great, thatâs why I say its good for three people but not four. The Wi-Fiâs good and it even has an electric massage chair which was nice after a days cycling around the city.
The only reason this doesnât get 5 stars is that upon arrival we were confronted by a note on the door informing us of cctv cameras inside the apartment. This wasnât declared beforehand and had it been we might have found somewhere else as we did not like the idea of being watched. There were two, one in the entrance hall and one in the lounge/dining area and at night there was a light on them letting us know that they were recording. My mate sleeping in the lounge was a bit put off by this, understandably. I can appreciate that with such a nice apartment you want to protect yourself against bad tenants but cameras are a bit extreme.
