First, let me commend the managers of this sweet spot, The Barcelona Collection. They answered every question I asked before our arrival extremely promptly and took immediate care of getting us in the apartment, even sending someone when we were having some difficulty ( no fault of theirs). We were also able to leave our luggage while the apartment was being cleaned.
The apartment was great for our needs and the elevator was a plus. The photos are accurate. One enters the apartment through a large foyer, followed by a hallway that can be closed off. Feeding into that hallway is a bedroom with 3 beds and a full bathroom on the opposite side than the bedroom. The hallway then leads to the living room, where the sofas are. There are 2 bedrooms feeding into the living room, one on each side, with full beds. The beautiful dining room is off of the living room and there are 2 bedrooms feeding into the dining room, one on each side. One of those has a full bed; the other two beds. Off of the dining room is the pleasant balcony, overlooking the neighborhood’s non-street facing side. The washer/dryer is located in a balcony closet. Going back into the living room, on the opposite side of the entry hallway is a door that leads to the kitchen and 3 full bathrooms.
All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were needed and appreciated by our family group.
The location was excellent as well with easy access to the Metro, Aerobús, grocery store, shopping and whatever The Ramblas had to offer.
