Great location and amenities

Just a 10 min walk to Sagrada Familia or Casa Batlló, very spacious apartment equipped with a washer, stove, fridge, bathtub and shower. Host met us at the place and provided us with all information in a binder on how to use items/where to go. Overall great experience and would stay again if returning.

Very nice stay in a fantastic area of Barcelona

We stayed 1 week in the apartment. Everything was clean and nice, and we had all we needed in the kitchen. There is a indoor balcony in continuation of the livingroom to the south, which gives a lot of light to the room but also heating it up in the sommermonths. The only problem was the air-condition in the bedroom, which gave us so much noise that we couldn't get any sleep. So we ended up sleeping in the living room. There is a metro station nearby and super connections to the rest of the city. We can really recommend this apartment. Especially if you come during winter months. Thanks to Carlos for being a really nice host.

Perfect apartment - just as described

Great stay, easy coordination with the property manager, on a high floor with a small elevator, no issue for our group but something to know before you stay. Would definitely stay there again!

Great apartment in centrally located, quiet Barcelona neighborhood

We were here for nearly a month. Close to shops, a big market, a zillion restaurants and grocery stores. Large and airy with a cozy bay-window area for morning coffee. Lots of storage for clothes. AC (though we never used it). Bedroom is quiet with a good bed—very good sleeping here. The kitchen is well-appointed with good-sized fridge and stove/oven. Also a washer! EZ to quickly dry clothes from courtyard windows. The second bedroom is small but perfect for a child or separate nap time. Nice to have the second bathroom as well. On the 3rd floor (which is really the 6th floor) but there is a tiny elevator that works 95% of the time. If it goes out, it is quickly fixed. Carlos was very easy to work with. Again, you can’t beat the neighborhood. Metro 2 blocks away and cabs to hail right in front of the apartment.

Não gostei da maneira que o Alugue temporada me conduziu. Endereço errado gerou desconforto aos participantes. A sorte foi que o administrador teve paciência de nos encotrar. Se tiver de contratar para nova viagem a note é de 1 em 10.

Away from the crowds

This property was almost perfect for my husband and I, our daughter and granddaughter. Re the check-in-our daughter's flight was delayed, which caused her and us to miss the check-in deadline, so we were charged a penalty (which we knew before hand). What with having to send passport, flight info, etc. and call from the airport upon arrival, I felt it was a fairly complicated check-in. In addition to going over all of the apartment amenities and rules, Carlos also made a very nice booklet of restaurants to sample, which we used to good advantage. There were a few cons- one was the lack of air conditioning in the tiny second bedroom. It had some shelves that could not hold a suitcase - no closet - and a huge window into the apartment well. which when opened, carried all of the apartment dweller's conversations up to the room. Two beds filled this room, which was really only big enough to have had one bed. It was fine for my daughter and granddaughter to snuggle in and visit and dress out of luggage laid out in the hall and in the second bathroom, but would not have been OK for my son-in-law, who would have wanted room for his luggage and to dress in this second bedroom.- and to not have to keep the door open in order to keep the room cool. The ensuite bathroom has a treacherous tub, with no grab bars or mat, and the step-in and out was perilous. The queen bed filled the masterbed room with so little room on the sides that my husband immediately injured his toe on the frame, trying to hug the wall, getting to the bathroom. We were asked to turn off the air conditioning during the day, which was a mistake, as the one day we did, it took a whole evening and overnight for the apartment to cool down! The elevator did not work one day, which meant a six flight hike down the steps. The super fixed it before we came back, as we had been given his phone number, thanks to Carlos. We enjoyed being able to eat breakfast and a couple of light dinners and evening snacks, and to fix a picnic for our Montserrat excursion in the well-equipped kitchen. Having a wash machine and a rack to hang clothes as well as lines outside the window was a real plus during the super hot month of August. Best of all, after the crowds of the day, we so appreciated returning to good neighborhood restaurants and a quiet, cool place to recuperate. The TV was too complicated to use. We streamed on our smart phones.

Needs improvement

Apartment is in a great area. Walking distance to La Sagrada Familia.Metro and buses close by. Apartment itself is in need of much attention. Living room furniture is old, uncomfortable and covered up by cheap furniture throws. "Patio" furniture is old, shaky and uncomfortable . Window coverings on the patio are filthy, threadbare and tattered. Dining room chairs have the padding coming out of all the cushions and have been covered up with cheap cushions. Air conditioner in the main bedroom doesn't work, main bathroom glass shower door doesn't fit, leaks, needs replacing. Cracked and chipped dishes in the kitchen. Three frying pans are in absolutely disgraceful condition and need to be thrown out and replaced. Second shower room is so small it's almost useless, we refused to use the shower it is so cramped. Second bedroom is very small and has only one single bed in it (not two as shown in the pictures), we used it just for storing suitcases etc. as there's just the two of us. A family with children would have difficulty. It could be a wonderful apartment if the owner(s) paid attention to it. Carlos, the manager, is superb. All our dealings with him were first class, and he's a really nice man too. We don't think he is the owner though. We're sure if he were this place would be way better. Pictures on the listing are very flattering to say the least. Having said all that, Barcelona is wonderful and we had a great time there. The apartment area is great, good grocery stores around the corner (we recommend the organic one). Good restaurants nearby. Highly recommend the Ferrum Restaurant (reservations are a good idea) just down Carrer de Corsega, 10 minute walk from the apartment.

Good value for a great location

The apartment was very spacious and comfortable. Carlos met us and explained everything we needed to know about the apartment for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect for sightseeing. It is within walking distance of the Sagrada Familia and many other sites such as La Pedrera and Casa Battlo. Metro stops are nearby and the system is very easy to use. Great restaurants are nearby so there is no need to venture over to Passeig De Gracia where prices can be higher. Our favorite, La Ramona, was right around the corner. The apartment was generally quiet since it is toward the back of the building, however if you are in the smaller bedroom, you can easily hear noises next door and in the hallway. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. All in all though, we had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this apartment. You will definitely feel like a local!

Comfortable apartment, great location.

We spent a week in this apartment with its great location; walking distance to Sagrada Familia, many restaurants and bars. Two good grocery stores nearby. The apartment was comfortable, the large closet in the master bedroom was a great place to store luggage. The second bedroom was VERY small, only space for the two single beds and a small shelf unit. The two bathrooms were convenient, one on the small side but the one in the master bedroom was very adequate. Kitchen was very well equipped and the supply of household products (towels, bathroom tissue, cleaning supplies, dish and washing powder) came in handy. The TV has lots of English speaking channels and was a welcome addition to the apartment as we were able to keep up with current events. Lavinia met us upon our arrival and toured the apartment with us, making sure we were comfortable and had no questions. The little sun room off the living room was a nice place to rest with a glass of wine after a day of city touring. The quirky elevator was an adventure but very welcome as the apartment is on the 4th floor. We would stay here again should we return to Barcelona.

Très bien situé

Très bien placé à proximite de deux lignes de métro qui permettent de rayonner sur la Ville : à trois stations du quartier Ghotic, de la place de Catalogne, 5 ou 6 du Camp Nou, 1 de la Sagrada Familia ou l'on peut se rendre à pieds ( 10 -15 min). L'appartement en lui même est situé côté cours donc préserve des bruits de la rue par contre l'isolation intérieure est quasi inexistante et l'on entend très bien les voisins lorsqu'ils parlent ou leur télévision ( celle de notre voisin de palier était allumee du matin au soir jusqu'à plus de 23 heures... a tel point que nous devions nous meme allumer celle de l'appartement pour couvrir le son des voisins...) Nous n'avons utilisé qu'une salle de bains car il y avait de fortes odeurs dans la seconde. Pour le reste pas de problème nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cet appartement que nous recommanderions. Cordialement

lovely property in a quiet location,

Lovely property in a quiet location, but within easy reach of many tourist spots. Carlos was informative and helpful, a good place to stay as a family or a couple, we didn't find any fault. Fab bakery across the road and a goodish supermarket around the corner. Nice to have a traditional place to stay rather than a standard holiday let, we would go back to this charming old building..

About the host

Hosted by Carlos Cortés

I am an architect with 20 years of experience renting my property and friends in the most central location of Barcelona. Besides I occupy my free time in alternative activities such as yoga or tai chi, to enjoy the outdoors and long trips, I get quite conscience and experience what a good service and hospitality of a private apartment, like I want each of my guests enjoy the most authentic of Barcelona.

Why they chose this property

A large interior AC apartment located next one of the most beautiful avenues of the city, like is Paseo San Juan, as also in one of the most traditional district of the city "Gracia" and yet close to the noisy and fun Historic city and Las Ramblas, that is to say centrally located and isolated from noise, as well as very short distance of the main main monument of the city, Sagrada Familia church, as also shops, bars and restaurants around.

What makes this property unique

A renovated interior apartment in a modernist first XX century building in a safe and central neighbournd next the beautiful Paseo Sant Juan Avenue, the funny Gracia neighbournd and with easy access to many places, by foot or car.
