great for short- or long-term stay

My family of four spent an extended stay of 6 months in the Barry apartment. It is a great apartment: nicely furnished and comfortable, and extremely well-located being less than 5 minutes walk to the train or beach, and surrounded by many shops and restaurants (but not noisy bars), in an active area of Sitges. The attic position in the building gives an extra large terrace, which was comfortable and spacious for outside dining year round, with complete privacy from neighboring apartments. There is also comfortable dining space indoors, and a well-stocked kitchen with modern appliances (including a washer and gas dryer, which often isn’t found in rental apartments). The terrace is set back from the street, bedrooms are on the rear of the apartment, and the apartment has high-quality windows. This means that the setting is quiet (even relatively so during carnival) while being close the action of Sitges – a rare combination that we didn’t fully appreciate until living there. The lift is great when carrying groceries or luggage. The management company was incredibly responsive and prompt to address any maintenance issues that arose, and honored all written terms and unwritten expectations for our stay.
The pedestrian street in front of the apartment was great for the kids scootering around town safely. There is the wonderful beachfront promenade with a park for kids just a few minutes walk away, and the Can Robert “rope park,” was a favorite of the kids, just a few minutes away behind the Monbus stop. Shops for fresh produce, meats, seafood, and jamon are all just 1-2 minutes walk away, making the kitchen especially desirable vs. staying in a standard hotel. Overall, Barry apartment is a great place for short or extended stays in Sitges.
