Beautiful Barcelona apartment

I stayed here with my three kids at the end of July for a week and we LOVED the apartment. The owners are so helpful in advance with communications and the manager who checked us in answered every question we had before we even asked it. They had available all the information we needed to get around the city easily. The apartment itself was clean and well equipped, just beautiful. We all loved it. It had a charming balcony off one of the bedrooms, and the only problem we experienced was that we had an absolute downpour one day and the rain was so intense, it leaked into the apartment through the closed balcony doors! Luckily we had plenty of towels....All part of the adventure! Just a terrific stay and I would not hesitate to recommend their apartments and would certainly stay in any of them if/when we go back to Barcelona.

We stayed here for 3 nights in late December 2010. The apartment was charming and comfortable. We also thought that the location was perfect. It was very close to the metro and buses and within easy walking distance to La Sagrada Familia, Passeig de Gracia, etc. The manager, Marcela, was gracious and helpful. Our communication for arrangements was easy. They even provided helpful hints for parking, dining out, etc. We hope to return to the magical city of Barcelona again someday and stay here again.

Staying at the Valencia A apartments was one of the highlights of our trip to Spain. The apartment exceeded our expectations and I have told my friends and family this will be the place I choose to stay anytime I come to Barcelona. The location was great, the apartment was spacious and I loved having a balcony and rooftop terrace. I want to thank you for all your help with booking and answering my questions. We had an amazing trip and I think having a place to call home for the week greatly contributed to a memorable trip. Hope to make it back to Barcelona soon! Eric, New York, NY

We stayed in this apartment in June 2008 with our 3 kids. It is a great location and has all of the comforts of home. The manager of the unit is very helpful and friendly and it was great to have internet access to keep in touch with our family at home. Charming Barcelona apartment!

We stayed here for 3 nights in May. The apartment was charming and comfortable - exactly as described. The location was perfect - close to metro and buses and within easy walking distance to La Sagrada Familia and Passeig de Gracia. Booking and subsequent communication couldn't have been easier. We were very comfortable here and look forward to coming back for a much longer stay.

Thank you for a home away from home! Barcelona is beautiful city. We loved the apartment, the location and all the great shops nearby. We went to the market everyday just down the block. Love the Iberica ham!!! Took a different route home each day and discovered more restaurants and shops every time.

We spent the month of February 2008 here and had the best time ever! The apartment was perfect, Marcela, our host was wonderful and the city of Barcelona was magical. We hope to return for a longer stay in the near future, I don't see how our stay could have been better...great neighborhood, lovely people, a total winner.

We spent three nights in Barcelona with two young children (under 2 years) and the apartment was a perfect place to call 'home' whilst exploring this fantastic city! Our 'greeter' Monica was wonderful and provided a brilliant service - taking the time to show us through the apartment and its many features, with the rooftop terrace (with views of La Sagrada Familia) being a real highlight. It was also no trouble for our hosts to arrange a baby cot and provide parking directions - little touches that made a big difference. Thanks for providing such a great experience. We will definitely stay again and recommend this apartment to all of our friends.

We just spend a week here and it was amazing. The location was perfect for seeing everything, but not in a touristy section. The metro was superclose. It is very clean and has a lot of amenities including some great DVD's. This was a great apt and I hope to go back soon.

Hello Lauren, Well, we're our fabulous European holidays are officially over as we arrived back in Vancouver this weekend. Just wanted to tell you again how much we appreciated all the helpful information you and your husband provided us which made our stay in Barcelona such a wonderful experience! The apartments were lovely, so comfortable and ideally situated. Another huge thank you again for being able to make that last minute arrangement for us to have two separate units. That worked out really well! It was my (and my family's) very first visit to Spain and Barcelona and I am most definitely putting it in my books for a return visit. Thank you again for making my first spanish experience such a memorable one!

Dear Lauren and Fernando - Thanks for the lovely apartment, which we stayed in twice on our journey through Spain. Barcelona is a fabulous city even in the rain! We really got to know the neighborhood and feel at home. Thanks also for adding the kitchen supplies we recommended - we cooked some great meals here... The DVD player is also a good addition. Have a great holiday season (in America, holiday season starts at Halloween and ends on New Year's Day!) Regards

Barcelona in October has prooved to be very pleasant city to explore for 4 persons from Oslo, Norway. From the beach to Tibidabo, from Sagrada Familia to Sardanas, every day has had its own beauty! The appartment has been a good place to rest our legs, and the surroundings have been more than adequate! To near guests: the roof terrace was a positive surprise, even with no furniture. --Have a good stay in Barcelona, all new guests!! Trunde Pedersen / Lis Pedersen Ase Rellseve / Tom Rellsve

Hello everybody! Thanks to Fernando, Lauren and Ignacio who were very pleasant with us. Ignacio gave us good advice to discover Barcelona. The accomodation is comfortable, well-situated and the air-conditioning very relaxing. All of us enjoyed Barcelona, we will remember of "La Rambla", La Sagrada Famiglia, Barri Gotic, Joan Miro--- Like the other guests, we can only recommend to come here and rent this flat.

We've had a wonderful week here - What an ideal location - such easy access to so many neighborhoods and sights in Barcelona. Thanks to Lauren and Fernando, we felt very welcome! They've been very hospitable and helpful - gone the extra distance to be of assistance. We loved the city and our excursions - Sitges and Girona.

We loved the apartment, the location, and Barcelona! On our arrival, we were greeted with a warm welcome by our hosts (despite the late hour), and were delighted with the standard of accomodation. Our time here was very comfortable and much more relaxing than a hotel. Hope everyone else enjoys it as much as we have, it was great to be the first guests.
