Other Things to Note
At check-in, it is mandatory to pay the Catalonia tourist tax. It is currently €6.25 per night*, but starting from May 1st, 2025, it will be €8.50 per adult, on the day of arrival (maximum of 7 nights. Applies to guests over 16 years old). This amount is separate from the booking total and must be paid in cash upon arrival.

Spacious, well equipped, beautiful
We had 8 people, and there was more than enough room. My only complaint is that we didn’t stay long enough. The terraces were absolutely gorgeous. We parked our car in the garage and took the metro around town. There is a lot of up and down in Barcelona, no matter where you stay, so be prepared.

Quaint duplex just outside downtown
Seven family and friends stayed at this duplex just outside downtown Barcelona. It is about a 15-20 min walk (beware...climbing up hill) near Park Guell and an easy 5 min walk to the metro.
Communication with the owner is fantastic and the complimentary bottle of cava was great. Lots of great bakery's around. Views from the top of the roof were fantastic as well.
Getting into the duplex was challenging. We thought it was a main and top floor but it was actually on the top floor of an apartment complex (five floors) and the elevator was very tiny. The house was a little warm and took a bit to cool down but eventually it was good.

Family Wedding
We had a lovely stay in Barcelona before heading to France for our nephew's wedding. The location is convenient to all the best sights and 20 minutes to the beach. The apartment was spacious, with room for us all to enjoy the front porch with dining table, second story balcony for quiet reading and the awesome roof deck to soak up some sun and watch the sunset.
Angela the house host was very helpful and attentive to our needs with immediate responses. The neighbors are wonderful and helpful too as I made the mistake of renting a small bus instead of a mini van and needed help guiding into the garage! Would love to return for a longer stay!

Expensive with LOTS of SHORTCOMINGS
Not very happy with the place as the towels that were provided felt like sandpaper. They had not been dried in the dryer hence were as hard as a rock.
The shower on main floor leaked tons of water onto the floor, every time it was used.
There were only 4 coffee pods left for a family of 10 people and out of the 4, there were 2 that were decaffeinated.
2 out of the 4 electric burners on the stove did not work and the gas stove burner was finicky and had to be lit with a gas lighter.
One A/C unit was not working at all and the other leaked water on the floor and we had to use a kitchen pot to catch the water.
Location is Far from the city center, but was portrayed in the listing as being in the city center.
Very expensive.

Home away from home
Very clean, quiet, accommodating stay. Multiple bedrooms in separate areas to ensure privacy. The many balconies really provided great entertainment options and beautiful views. The neighborhood is calm and not noisy at all. It’s a short walk to restaurants and public transportation. Would definitely stay here again if I traveled with a small group to Barcelona.

Very clean, huge apartment in a quiet area. Has everything you would need. Only disadvantage is it is in an incredibly hilly area and not many cafés or shops close by. Taxi’s are about 10 euros to get to activities. If you like peace and quiet this is an awesome place to stay.

The pictures don’t do this place justice. It is very large, with balconies off every bed room and the living room. Everything you could possibly want is supplied. Air conditioning works extremely well in every room. Very close to Parc Guell. Lots of shopping and restaurants close by. Metro stations very close. 35 minute walk, cheap taxi ride or 4- stop metro to La Rambla area. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Owners Maria and Angela were very attentive, but unobtrusive (no contact/no hassle check in and out). Highly recommended!!!!!!
