I'll start off by saying we loved our stay at this property, although there were a few hiccups. First the bad news, when we checked in we were told the exterior window shade on the balcony did not work and a part was being ordered. It would've been nice to have that as after 8am it was just too hot to enjoy the balcony, The owner did try to help us out with a patio umbrella, but it wasn't very functional. The first time we tried to use the laundry washer it broke and although we were there for 15 days that became a bit of a problem not doing laundry. Again the owner tried her best to help us out by allowing us to use the facilities in two other apartments for a day at a time. Other than two little glitches the stay was amazing. The owner was always quick to answer any questions or try to work around any issues stated above. One word of advice to any potential renters. Be prepared for stairs, there are a lot of them. The apartment is on the 4th floor and theres stairs leading to the entrance door. Also if you have children, the beach (not just this one, but it seemed most beaches) are very steep. 3 steps into the water and your up to your neck. Like I said, we were there for 15 days, and everything else was as stated in the add. Transit (rail) is a 5-10 minute walk and another 25mins to get into downtown Barcelona. You could have a busy day in the city with all the hustle and bustle then come back to your peaceful apartment where the sound of the waves put you to sleep each night. Kirstein, the owner, was very helpful and did everything in her power to help us enjoy the stay. She even arranged our car to the airport when we had to leave. Would I go back and rent this property again? In a heartbeat ! I can't explain how I miss my morning coffee on the balcony watching the sunrise, the fresh bread from the local bakery, and the relaxing days just hanging out on the beach. I would highly recommend this property to those interested in the area.
