We have been to Barcelona several times - it is one of our favorite cities! This is not a new building - none of them in L’Eixample are, but it is a well maintained classic, has a locked entry attended and kept immaculately clean by the doorman, and an elevator. Our host Jorge was very helpful with recommendations via WhatsApp. Euros for the tax.
The apartment is on the 1st Floor (second floor in the US) and is nicely appointed, updated and immaculately clean.
The two additional bedrooms lie along the entry hall to the dining room. There is a small toilet/sink off the second bedroom. The laundry is along the main hall as well. The washer and dryer (you can figure it out - Google Translate can help) were quite welcome during our 8 day visit after our three week cruise.
The main bath off the entry hall is quite large and tiled. Past that is the living room between the kitchen and the MBR with a sizeable closet, all with patio windows.
The kitchen is well appointed with a halogen cook top, microwave, oven and dishwasher. The Euro controls are not familiar to many travelers but can easily be figured out, as well as the cook top espresso maker. Or Google it.
The patio is large and welcoming, though we did not use it due to the cool weather and our daily trips into the city.
The location was perfect for exploring the city, with a 20-25 minute walk to Passeig de Gracia, the Gothic Quarter or La Sagrada Familia. There are plenty of cafés, restaurants and groceries close by.
