3 Day stay, before our cruise

The property was just what we were looking for... a little corner of Barcelona that had access to the Born, Gothic, and Gracia areas. HOst was knowledgeable and accommodating, especially because he allowed us into the property a little early... our flight was quite early, and we had luggage we wanted stored, so we could run right out and enjoy yhe city. As always with VRBO, the unit offered us a taste of that European local vibe. Mind you, there are several flights up to the rooftop flat, which can be daunting with luggage, but the access to the terrace made it worth it. Well worth the value, as long as you don't mind navigating the steps.

A nice, quiet spot

The apartment is in a great location and very quiet. The furniture was comfortable and the terrace was quite nice. I rarely needed to use the A/C, which was also nice. All in all, my stay there was very pleasant.

Wine on the roof terrace

Nice and quiet place with walking distance and view of the Sagrada Familia! Need to be able to climb flights of stairs as there is no elevator/lift. Yet, we found it worthwhile staying there. Host Arian communicates well and is a fantastic host, even provided welcome wine!

Barcelona jewel

This tiny apartment is ideal for a couple who want to explore Barcelona. A short walk to La Sagrada Familia, it’s in a well-supplied area: bakeries, bars and little supermarkets are in every block. We loved our stay and the property managers were responsive and welcoming

Amazing location and roof terrace

The location is perfect. Walking distance to Sagrada Familia ( and other Gaudi buildings), many attractions and numerous coffee shops and restaurants. The Attic is good for 2 people and has everything you need. It was surprisingly quiet. The roof terrace is s definite plus. Relaxing here and having dinner in the evening is lovely. We had it to ourselves each evening. Arian gave us a very friendly welcome which included wine , some supplies and lots of information. He also helped carry our luggage up the many stairs as there is no elevator. If the flat had items repaired such as some of the lights and the shower door it would be a solid 5, however it still was a wonderful visit. Thank you Arian for making our first time in Barcelona memorable.

Excellent first visit to Barcelona

We had a late checkin, almost midnight, and our host was there to open the taxi door for us. He was very easy to contact. Up the stairs with luggage was not as bad it sounds. Lovely air flow and the air conditioner worked well. Bed was comfy and the bath was small but had everything we needed. The location was about a 5 minute walk to Sagrada Familia. There were many places to eat and shops nearby. Our host also gave us several of his favorite places to go around the city. Great trip!

Nice place. Having the terrace was great! The location was really good for exploring the city, though if you love the beach I would recommend nearer to Barceloneta, it is still walkable and the walk is nice. Plenty of bars/restaurants near by as well as shops. The stairs will keep you fit! Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Nice, but......

Charming, very small apartment within walking distance to major sights. However, the flat needs an update. The door from the bedroom to the balcony cannot be closed completely so it is loud and relatively cold and uncomfortable. Shades partly defective and darkening of the flat for sleeping not possible. Light bulbs and sockets partly broken. Otherwise a beatiful and very clean flat with an outstanding terrace.

Quaint with good location.

The property was in a good location and Tanni was great to work with! She was quick with responses to our questions and met us upon arrival. As others mentioned, the 90+ steps were a tad challenging but there were landings for quick rests. The patio was wonderful and offered added space to relax. Although the string lighting didn’t work and a chair needed repair, I’m sure Arian and Tanni will be quick to fix and freshen up the area as they were truly interested in any insight on how to make our experience better.

Nice little flat with amazing roof terrace

We liked it a lot to stay in this flat. The bed was very cozy and the kitchen had everything you need to cook: stove microwave toaster, kettle...and even spices. A real highlight is the roof terrace. It could also be used by the other people in the house but we were always there alone. We can definitely recommend the flat!

Nice break

Was here for a long weekend with my partner. Location is great, property is nice, lovely terrace area. Owner is really nice and friendly- can’t do enough for you. Not suitable for those with less mobility as there’s a lot of stairs. Would stay here again. I would advice getting precise location before finding on gmaps as we walked 30 mins in wrong direction only to find we’d walked past it long ago. (The street numbers don’t flow)

Barcelona stay

Overall we had a wonderful experience staying here feeling like we were locals in Barcelona. It was close to a few train stations, La Sagrada Familia and some nice restaurants. Our host was kind enough to offer suggestions for restaurants and things to do while here. Important to note, you will have to ascend 95 (yes 95) stairs from street level to the apartment, so if you must be in good shape to stay here and haul up your own luggage. The balcony is technically open to all residents but we never saw anyone up there, it was a nice space to be in the sun with fresh air. Overall, if you a physically capable, I would recommend this stay if you’re interested in what it would be like to stay as a local (not tourist) in Barcelona.

Great stay!

My friend and I stayed at this place for about 4 days and it was wonderful! The hosts were great with communication, and even gave us recommendations for the city. Check in and out was easy and quick! The apartment is small, but the patio really makes up for it, as we spent most of our time out there when we weren’t wandering around the city. It’s about a 30 minute walk to Las Ramblas where most of the attractions are, but if you’re okay with exploring and walking it is totally fine! There are supermercats, cafes, and restaurants everywhere/close by. The only key note is the many flights of stairs you will have to walk up and down to get to this top floor penthouse so make sure your legs are ready!! Thank you so much for this wonderful stay we enjoyed it very much. :)

Conveniently located

The apartment is well located to get anywhere with the metro. There are plenty of restaurants around and a convenient market on the street. The apartment is on the 5th floor and there is no elevator, so if you are not in shape, I would not recommend. It is quite a climb with luggage or after a long day of walking through the city. Arian was very welcoming and we enjoyed our stay.

Super host

Arian is a great host. He met us at the property and welcomed us. He left us a bottle of wine.and fruit as well as organized our trip to the airport. The apartment is well located with many sites and restaurants within walking distance. I would recommend this place to anyone who can walk up 4 flights of stairs. The lovely terrace when you get there makes it worthwhile.
