We stayed in this apartment with our 15 years old son and 13 years old daughter August 2nd-5th.The owner Graciela is very responsive. The apartment is nice and quite, very clean, has very comfortable beds, high end sheets and towels, it is bright and gets tones of light in the living area. No views at all, which was totally fine for us as that meant very quite nights and good sleep. kitchen is big and nice and has everything. Location is good, it is a residential area with a lot of shops for groceries, lots of cafes around too, Not very close to the main attractions, 15 min walk to Plaza d Espana and the Magic fountain, 30-35 min to Sagrada Familia, 20 min to la Padrera. Taxis are always around, so whenever we did not feel like walking we used a Taxi.
The reasons That I am giving it 3 stars are, very Small bedrooms with no room to move around or to put the luggage, no side table in one bedroom because it does not fit. the toilet was not flushing properly and the buttons on it were broken, Graciela offered to send someone but we did not want to sit home and wait. When we arrived, I knew Graciela was away on vacation, which is totally fine, and she was sending her assistant, but I did not know her assistant is 17 years old girl! she arrived late, even though I provided our arrival time. she did not have a lot of knowledge about anything, and was not very professional. I don't blame her, I blame the owner of puting someone this young to handle a big responsibility. We did not have toilet papers or any tissues, so my husband had to run to the store while the kids were dying to use the restroom, and that was because the assistant came late and did not have time to buy it!
Over all, The apartment was good and we enjoyed our stay in Barcelona.
