We thought the location was ideal for what we wanted -very central and within walking distance of all 'sightseeing' places…The flat itself was perfect for what we wanted and just as you had described it: we were looking for somewhere a bit different and yet luxurious which is what it was, very minimalist and a great place to get away to. We didn't use the kitchen facilities because we ate out such a lot but they looked fine. We've recommended it to somebody so you may well get somebody else from Chester contacting you, and as we both had such a fantastic time we intend to go back to Barcelona so if we do will contact you again.

'We had a great time in Barcelona, and the apartment was smart, stylish and well placed... Pedro, your meeter, was very helpful, and spot on time on both occasions. ...I would thoroughly recommend the apartment to anyone who wanted a chilled and relaxing spot to stay. Thanks again.'

We stayed in the apartment for 4 nights and we had a wonderful time. The location was fantastic during the day for sight-seeing and in the evening for going to restaurants and bars. I loved having the dressing area to get ready to go out. The locals were all friendly and helpful.
Just what we wanted

I am on my last day of my week long stay in the apartment. I am sat on the balcony in the very warm early evening sunshine enjoying a cold beer, watching the hustle and bustle of the square below me, whilst making use of the wireless internet on my laptop. There is not too much I can add to the reviews already posted. The apartment certainly lives up to expectations in terms of what you get inside, the location and the immediate surroundings and it is a great place from which to explore the city. We haven’t taken a taxi/metro all week and have easily done most of the major sites. You do need to expect the homeless people hanging around the square, but as others have said, we have never felt this to be a problem. There is some wear and tear creeping into the apartment, and the cooking utensils are limited, but these are minor points against an otherwise excellent overall package.

I am a great fan of Barcelona & have been many times over the last 10 years ,previously mainly based in the Eixample. Staying for a second time in this wonderful apartment I can honestly say that I'm really sold on the Gothic area. You really feel that you are in the heart of the city with so many great restaurants & bars just a short walk away. That's not forgetting the beach being on the doorstep too -try 'Ca la Nuri' at Barceloneta for great fish.
The area is of course colourful as you'd expect in such a vibrant city & it's great having the sitting room & balcony overlooking the lively square. The bedroom I should add is a haven of peace being at the rear of the apartment.
The attention to detail & care that have gone into this apartment really make it a comfortable home from home & one that you'd want to return to time & time again.
I can't recommend it highly enough.

Discretely central!

This apartment suited our needs perfectly. I'd come partly to sing in the cathedral which was only a 10 minute walk away. The majority of our visiting choir were accommodated in a hotel, not nearly as convenient to Las Ramblas and with rooms much less spacious and relaxing. We also sang in Montserrat and found it easy to get there using the train; 3 Metro stations are within a short walk. Our greeter, George, was a mine of useful information and speaks excellent English. Restaurants, shops, bike hire and a cool beer are on the doorstep; the sitting room and balcony are great for people watching. The square and building can be noisy but the bedroom is a haven of peace and the bed large and comfortable. Don't be put off by the staircase - heaven's above!

A very central location exactly as described, particularly good if you don't have transport. We were met at the appartment by George, our greeter, who as well as giving us all the necessary information about the appartment gave us very useful tips on enjoying Barcelona, where to go and what to see etc. which was much appreciated as this was our first visit to Barcelona. We will almost certainly use this appartment again when we return.

Great apartment! Modern, clean and very comfortable, in the heart of the old town. Lots of good information in the apartment on what to do. The most useful was the typed list with contacts and information on local restaurants and clubs. We tried several of those recommended and it was spot on and better than just having to take pot luck.
The location was perfect. Walking distance to Las Ramblas, city squares, market, cathedrals and beaches.
Visited the Harlem Jazz Club, A Flamenco show at a small local club and a Classical Spanish Guitar evening at one of the Cathedrals all within a short walk.
Barcelona is a fun, vibrant and cultural city and great for walking and people watching.
Hope to return again in the not too distant future.

Beautiful apartment just off Las Ramblas. Perfect location for touring the city.
Overlooks a small square that attracts some unusal characters but we were never bothered. The bedroom is in the back so there was no problem with noise. The cafe across the square was perfect for brekkie.
Ideal base for accessing the sites and attractions.
Walked to bus station at 6am and didnt have any bother - only 15-20 min walk.
Would highly recommend to families and friends

Very stylist appartment, well situated for everything. Just 2 mins walk from La Rambla - down a side street so you get more of the real feel of Barcelona; the balcony overlooks the square where an an eclectic mix of people meet.
We very much enjoyed our stay, Pat

The apartment was exactly as we expected it to be after reading the description and the reviews. It was spacious, comfortable and clean. The location was ideal, close to tourist sites, transport links and restaurants. I have already recommended the apartment to friends and family.
A great place to stay in Barcelona.
