Excellent property. Their system is an example of automation and self-service: after payment is made, you get a code to enter the building and another code to open an electronic lockbox and get your two sets of keys. They have cameras everywhere (including common inside living areas such as the living room). I felt safe. My not liking the area is just a personal perception because locals deem it to be charming (in a small town sense): many cafes and pastry shops as well as small business such as seamstresses, mercerías, vintage shops, grocery stores, etc- I find the area to be on the poverty side but I might be wrong: we all know that in the real estate business everything is about perception. The property itself and its management, though, are top-notch: impeccable service, flexibility and responsiveness. I highly recommend this company.

Street Noise, lack of sleep
I whole heartedly agree with Hsu Cheng’s and others Street noise concerns. As I had exactly the same issue of banging noises and drunken people outside at 01-05am. This went on throughout the whole night and kept myself and my family awake which impacted our holiday in Barcelona. Based on the negative comments ie Noise. I specifically checked the location of our room before I went and I was told “ facing the interior patio” so we went ahead. Unfortunately, this was not the case and we was given the “street view” . If you don’t mind noise and lack of sleep, then you will be ok. I wouldn’t recommend it. The owner states they will try and accommodate facing the interior but did not on this occasion. Surely the fact I am asking about this before the visit indicates this was important for me, but they are saying there systems didn’t allow. I am not convinced with this statement. However, on the positive the apartment was clean, but definitely not worth the overprice we paid. It’s close to the metro and attractions, restaurants, supermarkets and shops. Check in / leaving luggage is easy.

Hello Nassima, We're sorry to hear about your bad experience. We always try to alocate our guests upon their request, but like in any hotel this is subject to availability in our calendar. In your case, unfortunately we weren't able to alocate you an inner or upper floor, although you weren't in the lowest floor either.Indeed, Barcelona is a busy city. The apartment is equiped with blinds, double glassed windows and curtains to isolate from the exterior noises. The fact that you arrived on Halloween evening didn't help either. Again, we are sorry for your bad experience and we'll keep working to do our best. Best regards, Bonavista Apartments Staff

Excellent condition apartment in a great area.
The apartment is in a great area of Barcelona, only a few stations by Metro from the centre. There are a large number of dining options close by and the area is characterful and lively. It is in almost-new condition, with just about everything required for an extended stay - including a washing machine. The contactless check in procedure worked flawlessly.

Location is perfect although it might be too noisy for some travellers, especially overnight. It did not bother us. The apartment is cute, cozy. It needs a bit more accessories and it wouldn't hurt to have some welcome gifts like coffee pods/tea/sugar, maybe some water bottles.

ANDREW

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was not clean. Hair on the beds. Holes in the bed linen. The dryer had an appalling smell. There were also potentially bedbugs at the property as we suffered numerous suspicious bites (in neat rows). What was most disappointing is that the cleaning standards at this Bonavista Apartments location (Virreina) simply do not measure up to those at the “sister” location in Gracia on Carrer de Bonavista where everything is in tip top shape (as demonstrated in an earlier visit). This is really unacceptable. While one might pay more for a luxury suite at, for example, the Hilton, the cleaning standards in an economy suite at the same hotel are the same. This is not the case at Bonavista. I do not recommend this property.

This apartment was amazing! It was modern, updated and had everything we needed for our week long vacation - stove, microwave and washer/dryer. it was a 5 minute walk to the Fontana metro station and across the street was a small grocery store. The neighborhood was really cute with several restaurants, bakeries and shops within walking distance. The staff, Liliana and Victor, were very gracious and accommodating. Highly recommended and will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Barcelona.

An amazing place to live at! it has it all... mini grocery store right across the street. 2 blocks away from the metro stop. its just Perfect!!!! Ohhhh the nights on their roof top, nothing fancy! but super relaxing.... just a little suggestion to property Management is that they need to coordinate better with their checking process. I arrived and had no information on how to access the building, no code/Pin or anything was giving to me even after I called and had Orbitz called 1 day prior to arrival. But after waiting for almost 30 mins, they got us everything that was missing and moving forward everything else was exceptional.
