Charming duplex Artistic Heritage of the XVth Century Catalan Gothic Style.

We were here for a girls trip and it worked perfect for the three of us, we all had our own space. Perfect location for all of our activities, sightseeing, beach, and shopping. It was fun to open the doors and watch all the street activity during the day and evenings.

Alex was very welcoming and helped us out with getting settled. He made sure we had all that we needed.

Thank you for "our home" for the week!

Charming well appointed apartment perfectly located at the base of the Gothic quarter allowing easy access to the sights and scen s Of Barca.Hosts couldn’t have been more accomadating and helpful during our recent six night stay.Highly recommend this gem of an apartment .

The apartment looks exactly like the pictures! It is so charming, with an historic ambiance, and is quite spacious and comfortable.

Prior to arrival, Rebeca answered all our questions promptly and thoroughly, and upon arrival, we were welcomed by her brother, Alex. Alex gave us a thorough tour of the apartment, explaining how to operate the air conditioning (which worked perfectly throughout or 3 day stay in mid-July) and security system. The rooms were all very clean, neat, and tastefully decorated.

My husband and I stayed in the downstairs bedroom, and put our 11 year old in the upstairs room. Street noise and an occasional loud conversation late at night could be heard from the downstairs bedroom, but using foam earplugs all but cancelled that out. The upstairs bedroom is very quiet, and our daughter slept soundly without disturbance.

The showers had great water pressure and excellent hot/cold control. The washer and dryer also worked perfectly, and though there was no instruction manual, I was able to go online and find the English versions for both. As mentioned before, the AC kept the entire apartment at a comfortable temperature, but there were also 3 portable room fans to keep the cool air circulating, so we had no need to lower the temperature from its preset reading.

The loose floor tiles mentioned by another reviewer were still there, but they didn't seem to pose any risk for us, and we actually thought it added to the charm of the apartment.

The location of the apartment was ideal for our needs, and walking distance from all our points of interest. Though located off a busy street, we felt perfectly safe at all times.

The check out procedure was very simple, and though our travels in Europe lasted only 4 days after we left this apartment, the security deposit had already been processed by the time we arrived home. Thank you Rebeca and Alex for a lovely stay! We would book this apartment again in a heartbeat.

The location of this property is great, but it leads to issues...the downstairs master bedroom is so noisy we had to move the bed into the living room to be able to sleep. There is an alley outside that amplifies the sound and folks like to hang out there, drink, party and smoke dope.

Aside from the noise, the floor tiles are coming up on the whole downstairs, so they rattle when you walk across them. The fabric on the sofas are threadbare and it needs a paint job as the walls are filthy in the kitchen. The whole unit just feels kind of grubby. There were small ants in the living room only and the front door handle broke one day locking us INSIDE the building, making us late for a tour of Sagrada Familia and costing us another $60EUR. Small things like having to buy our own toilet paper, not being able to get the AC to work or the dryer to dry became a pain when added to everything else.

This place was probably fine in the past and the design is cool, but they are NOT keeping it up. Go somewhere else!!

We were quite pleased with this apartment. The location was perfect for us, where the Barri Gotic, Barcelonetta, and the Born meet and a bus stop right out front. We didn't cook, but the kitchen is well appointed. I'm sure Cervantes enjoyed his stay as well.
