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.

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 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).

Location near Metro

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.

Great accommodation and wonderful host

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment, it had everything we needed and the big market was right across the street. We only ate breakfast in as there were so many fabulous restaurants to try that were just a walk away. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Great Apt

Location was great! We loved the neighborhood. The elevator didn’t go to the 2nd floor and we had to walk up several stairs (normally would have been fine but had to carry a walker up and down). Look forward to visiting BCN again.

Joli petit appartement bien situé

Contact et process de check-in très faciles, via une appli que même mon téléphone vieillissant a su gérer. L'emplacement est pratique, assez central, à proximité de deux lignes de métro par lesquelles on accède rapidement à l'essentiel de la ville. Nombreux commerces à quelques minutes à pied. L'appartement est propre, bien équipé et a beaucoup de charme. C'est un peu petit pour un long séjour mais sur quelques jours c'est parfait. À déconseiller toutefois aux personnes âgées ou peu mobiles : comme indiqué sur l'annonce, l'un des lits est en mezzanine, accessible par une échelle. Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour.

Cosy apartment in very good location

This is a cosy base for exploring Barcelona. Most of central Barcelona is a 10 to 20 minute walk away, and local area of Sant Antoni has excellent shopping and eating and drinking facilities. I enjoyed being in the apartment and enjoyed the view from the balcony. The apartment facilities are very good and Manuel was very responsive and helpful throughout my stay
