We loved our stay & highly recommend! A great spot for our family of 5 (3 teens). Beds were comfortable (& as described), kitchen was very useful, and AC in living room was great (it circulated to bedrooms for comfortable sleeping). We were surprised by how nice the balcony was – the photo does not do it justice! It’s a good size (while narrow) w/a view of a courtyard (not just of the wall in the photo). The elevator was greatly appreciated too as it was 5 flights up. The washer was nice to have (no dryer but everything dried so fast so not an issue). Wifi worked well. We were grateful to be able to check in a little bit early as this was our 1st stop (jet lag). Communication with The Collection was excellent – I had several questions that they responded to very quickly. It was easy to do the “pre-check in” with passports and payment ahead of time. The “virtual key” was explained well – we had not used anything like that before and were able to figure it out from the explanation they sent ahead of time. There was an actual key in the place that we could have used too. The location was central to everything we wanted to do – we visited La Sagrada Familia, Gothic Quarter, La Rambla, Park Guell, Camp Nou, the Arc d’ Triomphe, and La Barceloneta. We also took a flamenco dancing class not too far away at Escuela de Flamenco Lucero Cardenas. We walked a ton, used the subway and a couple taxis. There is a bakery (baked goods, drinks, beers) with an outdoor seating area next door.
