Studio-Ferienwohnung im Zentrum von Barcelona, mit Terrasse

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The apartment was clean, functional, and quiet. The patio was lovely. The only negative for us was the size. We don’t usually book studios because unless you go to bed at the same time, it’s impossible to have private space. That was our mistake for booking a studio. No complaints with the apartment at all.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It’s an easy walk to the metro and grocery store, and not too far from downtown. The highlight for us was the top floor patio and the large open windows- it was a great place for breakfast and evenings of drinking wine overlooking the city and Sagrada Familia (it’s a bit obstructed by other buildings, but still really cool to be able to see it from the studio). The kitchen was also a nice size, and the manager was very friendly and helpful with giving us maps and suggestions for our visit. Overall it was very clean and exactly what we needed for our visit to Barcelona. The only things I would note similar to others on here- the elevator does not go to the top floor so you’ll have to walk one flight, there is minimal room in the bathroom for toiletries and the shower is pretty shallow so it overflowed a few times for us leaving the bathroom floor wet, and there are no suitcase racks but you can get creative to find space. The main reason we took one start off of our review is because we had difficulty coordinating time with the manager to pay our balance, which impacted our plans for the little time we had in Barcelona.

Very bright, clean, quiet and modern studio located at a 10-minute walk to the Sagrada Familia, and a 2-minute walk to 2 subway stations. The large comfortable terrace offers a beautiful view of the towers of the Sagrada Familia. Although an arrival on a Sunday afternoon, we were warmly welcomed and provided with very useful information about the city. We enjoy walking and Plaza Catalunya as well as the beach are at more or less 45 minutes away from the studio. Otherwise, the very close subway stations will get you wherever you want to go. We truly recommend it.

The property was as beautiful as it appeared on line. The lication was great. A short walk to two metro lines and to the Sagrada and Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site ( which has to be Barcelona's best kept secret. Our hosts were very helpful and gave us many brochures and maps. I would definately recommend this Home Away.

The apartment was clean and bright, as pictured. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals, and we appreciated having the basics provided: salt and pepper, paper towels, trash bags, dish-washing detergent.

There were a few negatives. The most inconvenient was the lack of a place for our clothes. The wardrobe was well supplied with hangers, but there were no drawers or shelves for folded things. I suppose many people like to live out of their suitcases, but we enjoy unpacking for a week's stay. That was not an option here. There was also no place in the bathroom for toiletries. When I mentioned this to Jean-Marie, the very nice staff person, he kindly brought us a small table to put under the bathroom sink.

Jean-Marie also offered to bring a small heater for the bathroom. We declined, because the bathroom was so small, and at the time of our check-in we didn't think we would need it.

As it turned out, the weather was very cold and wet on two days of our stay, and we found the heating system in the apartment inadequate. After several hours of running the heater we were comfortable, but it took quite a long time.

The terrace is lovely and was one reason we chose this apartment. In good weather, the terrace could be used as an outdoor living room. That just wasn't possible for us.

I should also mention that the elevator for the building stops one floor below the apartment. We knew this before booking because of a comment in a previous review. It was not a problem for us, but I do think the description needs to be very clear about the single flight of stairs.

We loved the neighborhood. There were bakeries, grocery stores, and restaurants nearby. Bus and metro lines were super convenient. In addition, we enjoyed the beautiful promenade Avenida (?) de Gaudi that runs from the Sagrada Familia to the former Hospital Sant Pau, a beautiful modernista complex nearby.

Barcelona is a wonderful city, and we enjoyed our stay.
