Loved the apartment. Loved the location. Manu was super nice. Sadly, we would not return because the chaos of the construction (8am until after 5:30 pm) made it less than relaxing for us. The noise, debris, and yelling of the workers was not worth it for us.

Excellent location for a 3 night stay. Tons of restaurants and a great place to walk and reach highlights. Fabulous stay!

Great location, very close to metro and trains, shopping, restaurants everywhere. Apartment is beautiful.

The entire building is under construction. There is no elevator despite it being advertised. We had to carry very heavy bags 4 stories up. The second bedroom off the living room has zero privacy, since the door is sliding glass door and has very sheer curtains. The other bedroom’s shower has completely lose tiles all the way across the shower. The dirty laundry from the guests before us sat in the hallway all weekend long. The workers for the building were drilling and welding promptly at 8 am on Monday morning. The condo otherwise is clean and nicely decorated, but frankly, that does not make up for the rest of it. Very disappointing. The location is good, but again, not worth it. There are plenty other places to stay on this street. Will not be back and will not recommend.

We had a wonderful stay here. We had 5 people and it was very spacious right in the heart of the action! A great location within walking distance to many amazing restaurants and shops and museums!

The apartment is just great and its location is fabulous! The apartment is open and spacious, with great light and view. We rapidly got used to climbing three floors. Noise from the ongoing renovation was minimal, almost non-existent. I would love to go back!

I had read the reviews months ago regarding the construction but assumed it would be completed before our arrival. Sadly that was not the case. The construction was a surprise and the lack of elevators made the 4 flights of stairs exhausting in the humidity. But, once we got over that realization, the apartment is lovely! Everything in the description was accurate. It was comfortable, the AC was great and the views of Casa Batllo was a highlight. There were rooftop concerts each night and we enjoyed the music.

Our family of five (2 adults and 3 children - 8, 11, and 13) stayed at this stunning place for 4 nights to end our 4 week vacation through France and Catalonia. Communication/Check-In: Ingrid and Manu were easily reachable and responsive to all of our inquiries. They reached out to us prior to our arrival and provided clear instructions. Manu met us and showed us into the apartment and how everything worked. Construction: Yes the building is undergoing a reno. There is some minor dust in the outer stairs. There is a double door to the apartment entry and the place is immaculate with no signs of anything once inside. There is noise M to F that starts around 8:30. It’s most audible from the bedroom with the bunk beds but not bad at all throughout the remainder of the apartment. However, we were on vacation and were up before they started. It did not bother us one bit and we were out of the building most of the day anyway (why travel to sit inside all day). Stairs: Yes there are stairs but it’s Europe and to be expected if you are not staying in hotels. Minor thing compared to all the walking required to explore the amazing city! Apartment: Absolutely stunning and well maintained with central AC. Better than the photos. The balcony overlooks the back of Casa Batllo and perfect for an evening cocktail. Close to shopping, restaurants, subway lines, etc. Overall I would rate it higher than a 5 if I could. Amazing apartment in a perfect location with fantastic hosts!

Pros: •Location •Clean •Nice decorations Cons: •Stairs - 4 flights of stairs - with luggage, it makes it difficult. •Maybe some room darkening shades would be good in the bedrooms since the sheer curtains don’t block out much light. •Maybe a couple of portable fans to have to keep the air circulating would be good. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and Barcelona.

Beautiful apartment, quiet, close to everything. Would definitely return!

We had a great stay. The apartment was super clean and gorgeous! It was located in walking distance to good food, sites, and shopping. The owner was lovely and even brought us more Nespresso cups. I would give this property a 10/10. Highly recommend.

I read the previous reviews that mentioned problems with communication, so I just want to say that communicating with the host was not a problem for me. The host contacted me days before my arrival and was very helpful in allowing me to store my luggage early before check-in time. The location is great- within walking distance to lots of shopping and you can easily find a taxi nearby. It is a great apartment and I would recommend to others.

Location was great and we enjoyed ourselves.

Beautiful apartment on the inside and we enjoyed the balconies. Beds were very comfortable. Communication was good with property manager. Couple concerns…no elevators due to construction. Was quite a hike up and down with luggage. Construction was going on inside corridor and outside the building. They did stop each evening at 6pm, but start up early in the morning. Also, washer/dryer had a musty order as it would wash clothes, but dryer portion did not heat up. We had to air dry our clothes.

The place was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. Location was perfect, we walked everywhere. I highly recommend this apartment.

We are traveling as 2 couples. Had a lovely stay. Took us a little bit of time trying to find the place. It's a beautiful apartment with a view of a Gaudi masterpiece.

The flat is fantastic, beautiful and well stocked with everything you need. The location is great. The big issue is that the building is under renovation. The lift is out of order and the flat is up 6 flights of stairs which was extremely difficult for my mother to do daily at 77 years. Also every morning at exactly 8am the entire flat buzzes and shakes as construction begins right outside the bedroom window. That was a brutal wake up. Luckily, we were tourists so we just tried to get up early and leave the flat during the day. I feel like we should have been warned about both these things. Lastly, the floors could use a better clean. Aside from that, we had an excellent time and I would return once construction is completed.

Igrid and Manu were great hosts. Apartment was clean and tidy and up market in perfect central neighbourhood. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, large and well-equipped flat. Centrally located. Very comfortable beds. We would book this flat again on another trip to barcelona

Our family loves this apartment! The location was perfect. The apartment was clean and hip. Construction was present in the entryway, but that didn’t affect our stay. Thank you!

I would like to start by saying that we are seasoned travelers who have stayed in countless rental properties, including two others in Spain. I have never encountered such a rude and inhospitable host with the worst communication. I had sporadic communication with Ingrid before our arrival, and she had told me that she would meet us at the apartment upon our arrival. She knew the time of our arrival because she assisted in coordinating van transportation from the rail station (which we did appreciate, but was also done by all of our other VRBO hosts.) Upon arrival, no one was there to meet us, and I could not reach Ingrid through the VRBO platform or her cell number. It was only through the generosity of our driver who contacted several people who through a different number contacted Ingrid and stated she forgot to send someone, but that she would arrive within 15 minutes. After some time, the housekeeper came down and let us in. She then informed us the building was under construction so the elevators were not operating, so we had to drag 6, 50 pound bags of luggage up three flights of stairs (not an easy feat!) We were woken every morning at 7am to jackhammering, pounding, and workers talking loudly. I later tried to contact Ingrid for other issues, and she simply did not respond for a couple of days. When she finally did, she was so incredibly snarky and rude, calling us ungrateful and inhumane. The apartment itself is quite nice, spacious and clean. However, the grief of working with such a rude host does not make up for it. I would not recommend staying here based solely on our interactions with Ingrid.
