The apartment is in a beautiful Modernist building in L’ Eixample, walking distance to Sagrada Familia, Passeig de Gracia and many other attractions. There are restaurants, tapas bars, bakeries, supermarkets and other types of stores in the vicinity. The fresh market of Concepció was a few blocks away. The metro and bus stops are steps away. Taxis abound at all hours.
The apartment is bright and sunny with a beautiful view of the gothic church of Saint Francis de Sales. It was clean when we got there. It could be noisy because the building is on the corner of two busy thoroughfares but we loved watching and hearing the hustle and bustle of city life.
The apartment itself is charming with a terrace, ornate ceilings and mosaic tiles which badly needs restoring. The two bedrooms and the bathroom are smaller than what are shown in the photos, but good enough for two people. The kitchen is quite spacious with all the needed appliances. The apartment has all the basic necessities. If the fraying furniture and lumpy beds were replaced or refurbished, this apartment would rate 5 stars.
Last but not least, Management is friendly, courteous and very responsive to our needs. Whatever issues came out, like with the heating and WiFi, they were quickly taken cared of. We thank the Negres and their staff, esp. Eduardo, for making our 3-month stay easy and comfortable.
