We stayed in this property during the last leg of our 12 day trip to Barcelona and Sevilla. We stayed 4 days and it was wonderful! The rep met us at exactly the time they stated they would (although we arrived about 30 min. early and had to wait outside with our luggage, but it was fine) and he took us up to do paperwork and show us around. The apartment is huge, plenty of space for 4 people, although there were only 2 of us, so we had even more room. The balconies in the living room overlooking the city corner are amazing. Before dinner we'd pull up the chairs and sit in front of the balcony with the doors opened and just enjoy the view and people watching. The bedrooms were nicely sized, not cramped at all, and you had plenty of space for your things. Having 2 bathrooms also made things nice. Staying in this property really makes you feel like a local. I imagined myself living in Barcelona many times while staying here, it was just so lovely. Cabs are super easy to catch from this location, just walk to any of the corners right outside. A pharmacy right next door, a market just down the street, and plenty of places to eat and drink all along the street. The reason I deducted a star was only due to the fact that for the price I would think there would be some extras included. This was the last property out of 3 that we stayed in during our trip and the most expensive of the 3 and it had the least amount of amenities. No extra towels, no paper towels or napkins, no cooking staples (oil, vinegar, spices, etc.), no binder of helpful information or recommendations for restaurants as the other properties had, no English TV stations (although I only turned on the TV once when I couldn't sleep). Little things, but still, for the price they could include a few more amenities for their guests. It does get quite noisy there, especially when you are in the front bedroom trying to sleep, so bring earplugs if noise bothers you. One night there were loud people partying till 6:30am. More power to them, but it makes it difficult when trying to sleep, so just bring earplugs and you'll be fine. Napping or sleeping in the back bedroom is recommended as it's super quiet back there. You'll find a clothing line for line drying your clothes off that back bedroom balcony or there is a drying rack in the laundry room for you to use. Overall a great property that I would definitely recommend in a wonderful building in a great location. Thank you Habitat!
