HUGE MASTER SUITE MODERNIST 3BR PG DE GRACIA

The location and comfort of this apartment are outstanding. It is easily located for public transportation and walking to many of the best tourist attractions. There are some small drawbacks: if you like to cook, the equipment in the kitchen is minimal (but since it is called Bizflats, I suspect that most of the people who stay there eat mostly in restaurants - of which there are many in the neighborhood. On the other hand, the apartment is only a short walk to a wonderful local market. Another important point, if you are going to use all three bedrooms, one of the bedrooms is without windows -- not a major problem but something to be aware of. The living/dining spaces are very comfortable even including a television that gives you the option of English language programming.
I do need to mention one criticism. Since it is not about the apartment itself, I did not lower my score but I must say that the only difficulty we had was in getting our deposit refunded.

This apartment was better than expected!(after figuring out how to work the lift on both ends!) I was with my 2 teenagers and we were impressed with how beautiful, spacious and spotless it was. The stained glass window accents & tiled floors are in our photo albums. The location was perfect for us to walk almost everywhere. The nearby dining was spectacular-Micheal's less than 3 blocks.Everything you hear about Barcelona! We are & shopped out way through the city. We rode the double decker tourist bus to get our bearings and it was a great experience. So many sites to see & we saw most all! Loved Park Guell! We spent time on the beaches and great food along the coast as well.Loved the many coffee shops right on our street. My son even got a great hair cut in the shop on the street right next to the apartment! Wishing I was ther now!

Had we not been pickpocketed twice in Barcelona our rating would certainly be excellent. On arriving in Barcelona, struggling to get my suitcase aboard the train, my camera was stolen from my purse. The next day my husband and I were exiting the metro, my husband's wallet was taken from his front pants pocket, the money taken and the wallet returned. It is a pity that the honest merchants in Barcelona did not profit from our visit, only the thieves.
The property itself was spotlessly clean, comfortable, well appointed (although we would have enjoyed an American style coffee pot) and in a safe, convenient location.
