Beautiful apartment in city center

Review Submitted: September 27, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Firstly, reality matched the description. Portal Nou apartment has got everything - as someone said, it was a home away from home. As it is also said by previous guests, the location is the main asset, being in walking distance to nearly all of the sights and the beach. The neighbourhood in itself is really nice, with little shops to buy anything you may need. It is in the Born area, where there are many good restaurants. Mr Carlos and his employee Guillermo are very friendly and professional and we found dealing with them extremely pleasant. Finally, I would recommend this apartment to all those who want to discover the Old Town of Barcelona, its beach and the Gaudi buildings in a pleasant and safe apartment.

Great experience in a lovely city

Review Submitted: September 3, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
This flat is centrally located and a home away from home. Looking out onto a typical street in the Old Town, immersed us in the experience while providing every modern luxury including a fully appointed kitchen, a comfortable and spacious livingroom and bedroom. We stayed in 4 different apartments while in different cities in Europe and this was by far the best, both in accommodation and the proffessionalism of all business transactions

NICE PROPERTY

Review Submitted: February 24, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
VERY CENTRAL TO ALL AMENITIES, LOVELY APARTMENT REALLY CLEAN. PLENTY OF DVD CHOICES IF REQUIRED. LOVELY OWNERS VERY HELPFUL, JUST BE WARNED UP 4 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS. TORRES RESTAURANT CLOSEBY VERY REASONABLY PRICED.
Owner's Response: Glad to learn you enjoyed the apartment and its surroundings. We were also glad to have you and your family stay in the apartment.
Only would like to specify that although the apartment is on the 3rd floor, buildings made on that time ( 150 years ago), what counts for you as first floor is of much less height than usually a floor is and in Spain they are not counted as a proper floor, but we call them " entresuelos" which means " between floors". So for us we would call it 3 and a bit!

Review Submitted: December 2, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
Great apartment, fantastic location, all amenities included. very comfortable home. It exceeds all expectations with its generous array of household appliances and very clean interior. A rational organisation of space. In a beautiful position for going out and comfortably reaching most of the sights of the city on foot. The owner is very helpful and friendly

The best of both worlds in Barcelona!

Fernz Melbourne, Australia
Review Submitted: June 7, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
This property was extremely well located,a cosy local inhabitated area but close enough to the main tourist attractions. There are several fantastic small cute restaurants & bars on the doorstep,as well as grocery store & bakery too, which we frequented as they were reasonably priced and good quality. In addition the Arc de Triomf metro station was just over 5 min walk, which made it very easy to get to other areas. The owners were very professional, but also extremely welcoming,they all spoke great English, and were very informative, particularly with directions from the airport, it was so easy! The stair well up to the property is a bit narrow,which can make it difficult carrying large bags up,but this would not stop me from staying there again!
Owner's Response: Thanks for your comment; we are glad to learn you enjoyed your stay in the city and in the apartment.
We would only like to add that the apartment is on the 3rd floor of a 4 storey building

'Beautiful flat, very tastefully decorated and fully fitted throughout. Conveniently located and all sights and tube stations easily accessible. Informative and helpful owner. Would definetely recommend it and come back.'
'We enjoyed our stay in the flat and in Barcelona. The neighborhood is great, it's close to stores, shops, cafes, pubs, internet site, public transport. We could walk or catch the Metro to everywhere.. The kitchen was well fitted out, as was the bathroom. We utilized the washer and lines and all appliances worked well. We were very pleased with our stay. Thanks!'Mrs. Beth P
I´m very pleased with our experience in this apartment.It´s the ideal location to discover the city. Very quiet despite its central location thanks to the lay out of the apartment. You have the Ramblas and the beach closeby and plenty of monuments and sights nearby. The apartment is beautifully decorated and comes fully fitted throughout; Definetely it won´t be our last time there' Mr. Hans Maack

We ( me and my husband) had a wonderful time in this beautiful apartment. We really appreciated the location, so close to everything, be it shops, sights, beach or underground stops. We were there for 3 weeks and are already looking forward to it again some time in the future. Barcelona is a great city to visit and this apartment is the perfect starting point. We totally recommend it

The apartment is as it´s described

Review Submitted: December 12, 2006 Date of Stay: December 2006
I´m very pleased with our experience in this apartment.It´s the ideal location to discover the city for first timers. Very quiet despite its central location thanks to the lay out of the apartment. You have the Ramblas and the beach closeby and plenty of monuments and sights nearby. The apartment is beautifully decorated and comes fully fitted throughout; in fact there were more things than we expected like a collection of dvds in different languages. The owner is very helpful and friendly. In fact it´s more beautiful than the pictures show! Definetely it won´t be our last time there
