We traveled for the first time -as a family of 4- to Barcelona. Found the description of this condo on Vrbo to be accurate or to even exceed our expectations. Location of building is excellent, safe and convenient for a family, in the Eixample neighborhood. Only a 5-minute walk to La Sagrada Familia, 1 min away from the metro or a 15min bike ride to El Born or Gothic areas or to the beach! Also many great options for dining nearby either around the corner or down a 2-minute walk to a strip of restaurants with outside seating. A small convenience store is at the bottom of building to buy water, fruits, snacks, laundry detergent etc…there is an elevator to take you to the 5th floor where the flat is located.
The inside of the apartment is spotless!! The owners have thought of almost everything to make our stay as a family convenient and comfortable. The apartment is very bright with a balcony and designed as a hallway with 3 rooms to your left: main bedroom with a Full/Queen size bed, bathroom and kitchen as you walk from the entrance door. The other smaller bedroom is located to the right of the living room and had bunk beds, perfect for our 12 and 14-year old boys. Small table outside the kitchen by the living room, comfortable sofas, TV, Netflix, internet. There are 2 AC units for hot days, one in the larger bedroom and the second just outside of the smaller bedroom within the living area. A clean bathroom/shower and a well-equipped kitchen with plates, cups, glasses (including wine glasses), wine opener, dish washing liquid, tea, coffee maker, toaster, large fridge/freezer and washing machine (which we used for 3 loads for our teens!). We line-dried all clothes on the balcony outside and on a rack provided in the kitchen that we placed on the balcony. The sunny hot weather and drying lines made it easier for us given that most Europeans do not use drying machines. All clothes were dry overnight. Communication with the owners was fast and easy. We used WhatsApp to inform them of our arrival at the airport and to meet up at the building for checkin at 2-3pm. Also easy to ask them for recommendations for reserving taxis or going around the city. There is a bike rental place about a 5-minute walk from the apartment. We rented bikes throughout our stay and biked all of Barcelona!! To Sagrada Familia, to the Center, to Picasso museum, and to the beach! Loved it and would definitely stay there again next time we visit!! Thank you Jorge & Daniel!!
