It is practically right on the beach and close to everything. Double locked entry. Elevator to room. We loved our stay there. And there is even a mall underground in the courtyard out back. and a park just outside the front door. My only suggestio9n would be to provide a booklet withy instructions on how to operate the washer/dryer in English and maybe other languages for the guests who stay there.

Apartments with a view
This property was perfect for our group of six. It had a beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea. Its location was perfect. Close to Barceloneta Beach. Close to the Casino which had a Hop On Hop Off stop. Large grocery store right next door. The apartment was well equipped and comfortable. Communication with owner was easy. Responses to questions were immediate. Highly recommend this property.

March 2012
We stayed here for four nights in March 2012 with two families of three adults and five kids. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The apartment is ideally located. Easy access to the metro, great views of the city and the ocean and lots of restaurants to choose from along the water. The apartment is comfortable and you'll find just about everything you need for a pleasant stay. We would love to stay here again. We've been to Barcelona several times and found this place to be the most memorable.

Great place, location, value and owner!
The view from the apartment and its location are excellent. Great beach across the street and plenty of nearby restaurants. Apartment is spacious, clean and well-kept. The owner is very attentive and is quick to respond to any questions. Elevator lets you out at the door to the apartment on the 6th floor and the loft on the seventh floor is gigantic. Finally, the price per night we thought to be a great value. Ours was a family vacation with my wife, two daughters in their 20's and a boyfriend and we all had plenty of privacy within the apartment and cannot wait to go back.

Our stay at the olympic Blue House
We arrived 7 mai and stayed till 9 mai. Ignacio was very friendly as we arrived. He gave us some good adresses. It was a clean appartment, super for 7 guys who wanted to explore Barcelona... The appartment was super, with a great view and a super location near Port Olympic. I would recommend this appartment to everybody... When one of us goes back to Barcelona, we will certainly stay in the blue house of Ignacio and his wife... THX

Barcelona stay
Great location close to the beach, several restaurants and a supermarket. It was easy to get taxi rides right in front of the building. The space was nice with 6 twins and a queen so fit our party of 8 perfectly. The staircase to the upper room is a small spiral staircase so be aware of that. Wasn’t an issue for us other than getting the suitcases up there. It would have been nice to have more towels, but we just ran them down to the laundromat right by the apartment and got them washed. There is a balcony that looks out over the marina and the beach. Great place to hang out and have a coffee or beer! Overall a great place!

Problème de communication et non respect de la demande
Je serai brève! Odeur HORRIBLE d’égout et d’amoniaque provenant des salles de bains… je me suis dit que cela disparaîtrait après 1j d’utilisation des salle de bain/douche et évier … ça empirait! Finalement j’ai du ajuster ma dure de séjour d’une journée suite à un changement. J’ai prévenu l’hôte plusieurs mois d’avance et m’a dit que je devait payer comptant. J’étais en désaccord mais après j’avais pas envie de m’obstiner donc j’ai accepter. Mon conjoint a fait l’arrivé à l’appartement car jetait à mon travail (raison du voyage) la jeune fille qui a remis les clés n’a rien dit à part déconseillé d’utiliser l’air climatisé. Il n’a donc pas oser lui remettre 400 euros cash en se disant que l’hôte allait venir les chercher… bref j’ai appris à moins de 24h de préavis que je devais déplacer mes deux jeunes enfants et ma belle famille pour la dernière nuit! Mettons l’explication sur un erreur de communication commune entre l’hôte et moi mais tout de même frauduleux de réclamer en argent comptant pour éviter les frais VRBO! D’autant plus que de mon côté j’ai besoin d’un justificatif pour mon entreprise vue que c’était un déplacement professionnel!

Accomodable and big (but aging) apartment in a nice zone
A decaying apartment that shows its age, but well-fitted and big enough for a large family or a group of friends. The host is very nice and answers all questions. The best particularity is the location, close to the beach in a quiet zone (except during sunny week-ends when people come partying under the windows, six stages below). The neighborhood is very well deserved by bus and metro and allows exploration throughout the city. There is a very accomodable subterranean mall in the very same block. All in all, we had a good experience, but below the expected level for the demanded price.

Très bon séjour, à refaire !
L'appartement est très bien situé, le logement est grand et la vue est juste magnifique ! Les métros et bus sont à proximités et permettent de visiter Barcelone tout en logeant plus au calme à la mer. Pas besoin de voiture, tout se fait à pied ou en transport. Le gérant réponds très vite à toutes les questions c'est très appréciable. Le logement mériterait juste un rafraîchissement.

Great time in Barcelona
Our stay in the Blue House was great. It's an excellent location close to the beach, waterfront restaurants, and the casino. For day trips out of the city, a major train station is nearby. The views from the balcony were stunning. If you're an earybird, the sunrises in the morning over the Mediterranean were spectacular! The apartment itself is a great size for a larger family or group given that there are 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. However, only one bedroom has a double bed. The 3 others have single beds (2 per room). My only real negative is that the apartment needs a good cleaning (especially the bathrooms). The building was built during the Barcelona olympics (I believe) and could use some modern upgrades. It wasn't that the apartment was filthy or disgusting. It could just use a really good cleaning.

Great place I would definitely stay there again
The Blue House was wonderful. We had a beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea from the balcony. The website does not do the view justice! There was plenty of room for 7 of us to relax comfortably. The place was nicely equipped. We were a 4-5 minute walk to the metro which we used frequently. Taxis were also easily hailed on the street in front if needed! There is a subterranean mall located in the next building. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again!!

Excellent location within Barcelona
The property has wonderful views over the Olympic Port and is within easy walking distance of the city centre, beaches and many tourist locations. Five of us stayed for twelve days, including my 92 year old physically disabled father. The apartment is fantastic for disabled visitors. The lift is right outside the front door and the apartment is easy to move around in a wheel chair. My father loved the view. I was going to give the apartment five stars, but I am going to fine Ignacio one star, as on arrival at the apartment he fined us fifty Euros for arriving after 21.00, even though we HAD NOT been told about this in the contract sent before our arrival. This punishment we found to be unfair as we had struggled to get me father onto and off the plane at Gatwick after a near two hour delay that was out of our control. Therefore by the time we arrived at the apartment we were exhausted, to be fined was not the welcome we expected. Additionally I do not think that you would expect to find nine lightbulbs missing, no plug in the kitchen sink, two beds with no bed linen, no clocks working and the hairdryer missing on arrival at a luxury apartment. These should have been checked before our arrival. Overall, the apartment was suitable for our needs but perhaps Ignacio needs to work on his customer care.

Great stay in this lovely apartment
Our group of 7 people had a fantastic stay in the Blue House. Spacious and comfortable with a spectacular view of the sea from the balcony. The kitchen was fully equipped and there is a large supermarket located in the square at the entrance to the block which is very convenient. The beach is a 3 minute walk away! Ignacio, the host, was very quick to respond to any of our queries and was most accommodating. We would very happily return to this property :) I have stayed in many holiday apartments in Barcelona and this has been my favourite!

Spacious, clean, well maintained, good location
We were 3 single adults and one couple so we used all the bedrooms on both floors. One guest was in a wheelchair and we can confirm that the flat is wheelchair friendly on the main floor. We found the flat clean and the kitchen well equipped. We chose the Blue House because of it's location and the accommodation it offered. We were not disappointed in any way with our choice. The view from the balcony is great and we often sat outside til Midnight. Although there is traffic on the main road it is a nice, cool place to sit. The traffic noise was no problem for us. The location of the Blue House is great, near the sea and the Olympic Marina is nearby where we ate most evenings - plenty of restaurants to choose from. The supermarket is next door which was great. The bus Stop is a few minutes away. All the buses are wheelchair accessible. Ignacio was great and very helpful, especially on the last day as he helped us with the Taxi arrangements - or rather with the problem with no Taxis being available due to them being on strike in the whole of Barcelona. But as it was at the end of our holiday we got to know the bus routes and so no problems taking the bus to the airport. We would book a holiday in the Blue House again on our next trip to Barcelona. Thank you Ignacio, we had a memorable stay in your apartment. George, Elisabeth, Heidi, Ruth, Dannique
