Apartment description - Bright and pretty 3.5 bedroom apartment (like a 4 bedroom, except access to one of the rooms is through another room) with 2 bathrooms one with bathtub, the other with shower, on the 4th floor (with elevator). This apartment has a glass-enclosed balcony, as well as a small balcony off the main bedroom.

Complete kitchen including oven, microwave oven and full-size refrigerator.

42' flat screen TV in living room. DVD player and DVD collection.

For maximum comfort this apartment has central air-conditioning - and it also has got central gas heating.

Location - The apartment is in the historical part of the Eixample area, at a short distance and midway from the Sagrada Familia temple and Passeig de Gracia shopping.

Transportation - Near Verdaguer metro station (on yellow and blue lines) and several bus lines. Very easy to get to by taxi.

Bathrooms!!!
Nicely sized apartment consisting of 2 bedrooms with twin beds, and 2 bedrooms with double beds. Excellent location with walking distance to all main attractions including Sagrada Familia. However the biggest let down is was the bathrooms which were appalling unfortunately. There are 2 bathrooms - 1 with a bidet and bath tub and another one with a shower square, toilet and sink. The one with the bathtub and bidet had a terrible smell and there were no windows in there to let it ventilate. The one with the shower room was so tiny and the shower square and sink is full of mould and dirt. I just didn’t want to shower in either but had to as fast as I could. Both bathrooms wouldn’t drain as you shower so you’re standing in your own dirty water. Apart from that, all went well. Please do something about the bathrooms.

Property was beautiful, spacious, and had gorgeous views. Easy access to groceries, restaurants, metro, and bus stops. Walking distance to many of the tourist sites. Only thing that could be better is the wifi - signal is spotty at best.

Practical , well located yet needs a little love
The managers are very efficient and they have a modern way of check in, they were flexible and welcoming. However, the flat looks much better in the pictures. The bathrooms need updating and some real cleaning, there was mold in one of them. The floors of the flat also need some deep refurbishing. We had an extra guest, a little mouse who we named Mickey who we suspect came from the whole in the ceiling of the hallway. The kitchen is well equipped and clean. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was adequate. There is a need for bigger newer towels if they are to offer them. I think this property has a lot of potential but it needs a bit of deep cleaning and updating of the bathrooms. That being said water pressure was good and water was hot and plenty . The location was great . There was a lot of noise from the street and from some of the neighbors who decided to have a fight around 6 am on a Sunday ... thin walls. We were a very quiet group and we like to sleep in so this was a bit disappointing.

Great Location / Nice Apartment / Marginal WiFi Service
There aren't many places that can comfortably accommodate a family of 8 so we were VERY happy to find this property. We had two problems during our stay, however, which were unresolved. The first is one of the two toilets did not flush properly and the flush valve seemed to be partially broken. Our morning email advising them of the problem was not responded to by that evening when the flush valve broke completely and the toilet became unusable. That's a problem when you have eight family members sharing a single toilet! To their credit, they sent a maintenance man immediately, but he did not have the correct replacement part and had to jury-rig a solution that only worked for a short while. We had to make do with a single toilet for all of us to share the last two days of our stay while they waited for the correct replacement part to arrive. The other problem is that the listing advertises WiFi availability, but only one or two of us was ever able to connect to any of the SSIDs they offered and then only for a short while before the connection was lost. You'd be surprised how much you rely on connectivity nowadays to book excursions, look up restaurants, plan the day's activities, etc.. and the grandparents and kids wanted to update their social media sites. I was unable to check-in with work and had to purchase an alternative form of Internet Connectivity. They claimed to have tried "resetting the routers" and that they sometimes had problems with iPhones, but admitted that there was some equipment missing from our apartment (a "Tower"?) that wouldn't be replaced until the day after our departure. My advice to future guests is not to rely on their claims about the WiFi service and to secure an alternative means of connectivity if that's important to you. I wish I could have rated them 5 Stars. As an owner of a VRBO property myself, that's what I would have wanted, but they had opportunities to fix fairly significant problems and were unable to do so during our stay.

Comfortable apartment in a fantastic location
This apartment was perfect for our family. We could walk to Sagrada Famiglia and Casa Mila (Gaudi); a 365 was around the corner for espresso, pastries, fresh-squeezed juice, and sandwiches. Metro was very close (6 minute walk) to get to El Gòtic, La Rambla, El Born. The rooftop terrace was amazing! Wish the a/c cooled the back bedrooms better.

The apartment was perfect for our family of 8. There was plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 children. The apartment has all you need! The location of the apartment was excellent. It was a short walk to the Sagrada Familia which is a must whilst in Barcelona. Good walking shoes are recommended to reach the Ramblas, however, it is worth it to see the fab architecture and bustling city. Would recommend this apartment to others with larger families who want a piece of city life with space☺️☺️

Perfect spot for a Barcelona Holiday!
Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed the spacious, light-filled apartment on Carrer de Valencia. It was well furnished and very comfortable. We especially loved the location which provided us with a neighborhood filled with markets, bars and restaurants and easy access to public transportation. The apartment's kitchen was relatively well-equipped enabling us to make coffee and breakfast in the morning at our own pace, prior to setting out for an action-packed day full of sight-seeing and adventure. The roof deck was an added bonus, with clear views of the Sagrada Familia and the surrounding neighborhood. The books on Barcelona were a great resource for each and every day. Overall, we had a memorable trip to this magnificent city and our accommodations made the trip even more so.

Big space with lots of charm
This was a great apt! Big enough for all eight of us. Within 30 minutes walking distance to everything. Less than 10 minutes walking to Sagrada Familia. Great little restaurant and ice cream parlor right downstairs. Very quiet part of town. The space was comfortable and spacious. The bathrooms were small but there were two so it made getting ready quicker. Air conditioner worked great! The roof top terrace was great! You could see the top of Sagrada Familia from there and also Tibidabo. Loved it!

Lovely, spacious apartment!
Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay in this lovely, clean, 4 bedroom apartment. The property is a short (10 min?) walk to Segrada Familia and a couple blocks from 2 metro stops. This made it extremely easy to navigate the city. We liked staying in the L’Eixemple district, away from the hustle and bustle of Las Ramblas and the Gothic district. The area is filled with wonderful restaurants a short walk from Passeig de Gràcia with amazing shopping. The apartment is equipped with a washer and dryer and was extremely clean. The two bathrooms are a bit small, but both have showers. Suggestions for the property are more towels and more kitchen equipment.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful apartment with our grown children. Nice, comfortable and well furnished, with enough room to spread out and in a terrific neighborhood. We walked all over.

Comfort, great location and spacious
There were four adults to start and a fifth joined later. Each couple took a "wing" of the apartment. The Segrada Familia was close and we walked everywhere! We only needed a cab to and from the airport. Great location, with lots of shopping close by. Clean, comfortable accommodations. We requested more towels and they were brought the next day. The note the owner left was very helpful. The owner responded to each email very quickly and was available. We only used the kitchen for reheating food and hot beverages and found it clean and adequate. We will be returning next summer as we enjoyed it so much. Rooftop terrace was a plus!

Very disappointing. Worst VRBO Home Away experience we've had.
No greeter. Although I texted and spoke to him. He never showed up to fix any problems. The Towels were horrible - grey, dirty and worn, that we actually purchased new towels the first day for ourselves. No dish towels. (I requested some but did not receive any). Stove did not work. No matches. I spoke to the greeter about it and he said he would bring matches and show us how to use the stove but he never arrived. Microwave did not work. Clothes Washer leaked and tripped all the power so we went without air conditioning for three days in deep August heat. The Plumber fixed the leak - supposedly, spoke no English, but the washer door did not close after he left or work at all after electrical was fixed. This was an Enormous Inconvenience to be unable to wash clothes during a two week stay. We hand washed out clothes in the tub. Had to purchase our own laundry soap, hand soap and shower soap (after a long overseas flight I think that soap to take a shower or wash your hands is a minimum). Dryer did not work. Not enough clothes pins for more than three t-shirts at a time to line dry outside. Sheets were awful. Pillows were filthy. The mattress pad was terribly stained. More than half the lamps in the 4 bedroom apartment did not have light bulbs. The TV did not work. I asked four times for a remote and was told they would get one but they never did. ( NOTE: we were there during the terror attack and were unable to watch the news in the apartment ). I requested clean sheets after a week and only received sheets for one bed not three as requested (oddly, I received pillowcases for extremely narrow pillows that did not exist in the apartment) so I had to wrap a fitted sheet around a pillow to create a pillow case. Once again: This is all during terror attacks so the lack of concern for our comfort and requests before and after the attacks was disconcerting. We felt the lack of regard for basic apartment rental needs to be upsetting. We felt it was Not the time to create tension with Home Away owners who clearly did not care about guest's comfort during a stressful time in the city. We paid for an apartment with air conditioning and a working TV etc. etc. etc. I spoke to the greeter five times with requests for basics that he agreed to but did not deliver. Unfortunately, I have to say this is my first bad review and warn you that this is a bare bones place unsuitable for a family expecting a minimally comfortable vacation.

Perfect location, magnificent place with lots of character and very spacious
Spacious, very comfortable apartment with great decor. Renter's guide and notes in the apartment were incredibly useful. Visiting in the August heat, I really appreciated the central air conditioning which worked well, quiet and cool. The room facing the street was a little noisy but other than that everything else was exceptional.

Clean apartment. Good location.
Our apartment was clean and neat with enough towels and bedding for our needs. We never used the kitchen as we were there for a short stay, so I can't comment on that. The air conditioning was not working, and the first night we would have liked it to cut down on street noise. One shower was great, the other a bit small. Loved the creperie downstairs!
