About this property

The Wood House; a different way to discover Barcelona. Central and comfortable

The apartment is located in the city center, in the picturesque district of Sant Antoni market whose centenary will see from the balcony.

The area is excellent for exploring the city. Due to its strategic location, you can go either walking or in the countless transportation (bus, metro, bike, etc) to places, neighborhoods and most emblematic monuments of the city.

In just ten minutes walking, you will be in Las Ramblas, Plaza of Spain, the Passeig de Gracia, Rambla de Catalunya, Montjuic, Plaza Catalunya, the Gothic Quarter, the Raval, the gothic, or Maremagnum, among other examples.

Taking the subway home at 50 meters you will find in just 15 minutes at the feet of the Holy Family.

Definitely the best place to see the city.

Barcelona central!

Great location in the middle of city! Restaurants and shops all around. Easy to walk to a lot of attractions. The room was very warm and cozy. The decoration just enhanced the feeling and experience of Barcelona. Only insight is the bathroom is a tad small, but overall we really liked the apartment.

Excellent Stay in Barcelona

It was our first time in Barcelona and Manuel’s apartment could not have been better situated. There are many good restaurants and grocery stores/markets nearby, and it was easy to access all of the major sites around the city. The apartment itself was very comfortable with all the amenities we could have possibly needed, and Manuel was always easy to get ahold of, even when we forgot our keys one time. Highly recommended!

Not worth it

Fotos are deceiving. The Wood House is actually an indoor Mercado across the street. The rental apt is in an old building with an austere front (not pictured). We found dirty dishes and used pillow cases with previous guests hair oil on them. Had to hunt for bath towels and never located the hairdryer until hours after it was needed hidden on the top shelf of a bookcase. Dead flowers , lack of light bulbs and no batteries for the clock or fan. It’s not worth the price…stay somewhere else. Also access can be very confusing with the download of an obscure app.

Very comfortable

We very much enjoyed our stay in the Wood House. We loved the location, across from the Sant Antoni marketplace and easily walkable to the main parts of town. The highlights of this apartment are the bed, which is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on as well as the location. There is a great coffee place down stairs and a landromat a few doors down. There is a washer but it looked rusted and did not have instructions so we opted for the landromat. There is a bit of an odor from the bathroom that others have commented on. It didn't detract from our stay just something to note. The place is small but cozy and has all the basics of what you would need. There are no bath products, only soap, which is fine but previous VRBOs have provided so we had to go buy, not a big deal. Would ultimately stay here again, especially for that bed!

Great spot in a beautiful neighborhood

This apartment could not have been better. The neighborhood was really nice--close to restaurants, markets, anything you could need. And while it is not large, it is clear that a lot of thought was put into the set up and design of the apartment. Wifi worked great. Aircon worked great.

Great location in a peaceful neighborhood

Our stay at the Wood House was fantastic The central location was great, within walking distance to most of the place we wanted to visit. Also very convenient to public transportation. The apartment is very comfortable while being on the small size. There is a beautiful view off the tree covered balcony toward the San Antoni Market. Manuel is a great host. He responded quickly to any of our questions. We would be happy to stay here on our next visit to Barcelona Be aware that the code for the apartment is operated by an app that you’ll need to download before your arrival

A Barcelona Delight!’

We spent just over a week at the Wood House and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The apartment is well located, clean, functionally equipped, safe and fun. The bed is very comfortable and the balcony was ideal for people watching. The large market with food and clothes was just across the street. Manuel was extremely responsive - a great experience! Get ready for the kitchen and bathroom to bee small - but we adjusted quickly and easily.

VERY MISLEADING DESCRIPTION

We chose this apartment (my adult son and I, an elderly woman) in large part because it was described as having 2 bedrooms. IT DOES NOT HAVE 2 BEDROOMS. There is 1 very small but attractive bedroom (without a window). There is a couch, convertible to a bed, next to the dining table, as shown in the owner's photo. And there is a loft with about 4' headroom reached by a vertical ladder. Worth mentioning also: the 'hot tub' mentioned in the description does not exist. That said, the apartment is otherwise charming and well located.

Great location!

This is a small apartment in a wonderful neighborhood! If you would like to get away from the tourist areas and enjoy the local culture, this is the place to stay! Manuel, who manages the property, is very responsive. When we couldn't connect to the WIFI upon our arrival, he got back to us within 5 minutes with the new WIFI information. We are very happy with the property and the service we received.

Great spot

We enjoyed our stay, super location, cute, clean apartment. Checking in was hard, complicated, got into building but code to get into the apt didn't work. Called vrbo at 1:30 am to get in and owner did answer and help. Once we were in and settled things were great but it was unnecessarily stress producing for weary travelers. Make sure to get owner phone number ahead of time if you rent this lovely apartment.

The Wood House is a great base.

The Wood House is a great base to stay at on a trip to Barcelona. It is a 2nd floor apartment (there is a lift but we never used it) facing one of the entrances to Sant Antoni market. The photos are accurate. Noise was not an issue, although as I am a very light sleeper I always use ear plugs to sleep. There is air con so we were able to keep temperature comfortable for us. The WiFi was reliable, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom although small is functional, the shower has both hand held and rainfall attachment. We only used the kitchen for coffee and toast 😊 as we were out all day everyday. The apartment has a smart lock which means you need to have access to mobile data on your first visit. My mobile would not work in Spain 🙄 but luckily my son's did so this was not an issue for us but could be for less technical people (once in the apartment a physical key is available).

If you are interested in traveling by the Metro this is a convenient place. A couple blocks away and you access a great way to get around. Staying at this apartment gives you the feel of a residence in Barcelona. Much more fun than a hotel vacation.
