    The apartment is very comfortable with A/C and is large enough for 4 people. Both bedrooms are clean with comfy beds, both bathroom and kitchen have all the equipment you need. The apartment is located in the heart of Gracia district - pretty calm area with lots of little shops, cafes and restaurants and for romantic walks if you like. Communication with Bona Vista managers was quick and easy, especially Victor was always ready to help. We made a great choice that we chose this very accomodation.

    It was a bit difficult to check in as I needed to enter the parking. The explanation was correct but a bit stressful as I blocked a bus that could not turn the corner because of my car being temporarily parked on the curb to get the keys.

    The place is in Gracia and within walking distance of many restaurants and Metro. There's even a small grocery store right across the street.

    Living in one of Barcelona's trendiest neighbourhoods
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • One-Bedroom Apartment (4 Adults)
    • Stayed 5 nights

    There's a lot one can nit pick on but to be honest, we thought it was a lovely place and except for the living room sofa beds being not soft enough to sleep on, the rest was absolutely amazing. Totally recommend if you're into quite places and not seeking tourist crowds that's very much in the nerve center of the city. Each metro ride was 1 - 2 stops away (Sagrada Familia, Passe de garcia, you name it) nothing took more than 10 - 15 mins to get to.

    Driving in from the airport I was a bit concerned as the driver said we were nowhere close to the city center. After a day at the property I must say 'we couldn't have stayed in a better place'. If you don't like crowds hassling you from the moment you enter/ leave the hotel, it can't get better than this place. Having friends who live in Barcelona, they said the reason the crowds are so local is because this area is frequently stayed in by the hip and trendy 20 year olds. The atmosphere is relaxed, the property is extremely safe and quiet and the neighbourhood is filled with all kinds of food that you can imagine (every cuisine, every kind of food, it's all there). And by that I do not mean fast food because luckily we didn't look or find any. The room is pretty much stocked with all kinds of cutlery, there's TVs in the living room and bed room which is a huge plus. There's a dedicated dining space that allows you to dine even if the bed's open and literally across are some wonderful Nepali women working at a convenience store opened from 9am to 11pm. Down the street, taking the first right towards the metro is the best gelato hole in the wall shop (opposite the pharmacy) which is packed to the rafters by locals. Take a left there and there's a great shop for women's clothing Heidi, further down to the right are really good wok bowls, a bit further to the left is a gorgeous Thai restaurant. Loved everything about the property and the management are super responsive and helpful.

    It would have been nice to find salt, pepper and oil in the kitchen, as you can’t buy these in small quantities for short stays.

    Location is excellent, near Fontana metro station, in a very pleasant neighbourhood. Check-in is very simple, with good instructions to access the apartment. The building is contemporary, equipped with elevator, AC, wi-fi. The apartment is minimalist, but equipped with all you need for a short and pleasant stay with a small group or family. It’s very clean and comfortable.

    Only issue was location. I love to walk, but 20+mins from center on hot days, with large family, eventually forced us to use the metro. Not a terrible compromise, but not as close as I thought it’d be.

    The property was spotless & “hotel-like” setup. Accommodations were very comfortable. AC & washer/dryer worked without issue & were perfect for hot days, with a large family on daily excursions. Convenient local shops nearby.

    Easy to find. Great communication from the property. Fantastic location- walking distance to the centre if you’re fit enough, and 5 minutes from a metro if you’re not. Beautiful shops and exceptional restaurants all a short walk away, so no need to go to the town centre if you didn’t want to. Also, cracking wee supermarket across the road with plenty of provisions including cold beer/wine and fresh fruit, bread etc.

    The property was very easy to find and the instructions I was sent were step-by-step and super helpful. There was an elevator as well, which was super helpful. There were a couple of things that needed to be fixed/replaced: the flush button on the toilet (which falls apart) and the restroom door that gets stuck every time you close it, and the door handle which might come off unless replaced soon. Also, the fringe was cleaned with some Clorox solution and had a strong Clorox smell inside it, which made it hard to store certain food in open containers (like berries). However, none of these trivial things bothered my family much while staying at the apartment. We had a great time.

    Excellent location in a walking distance to Lesseps metro (major Metro line) and among busy shopping/dining district. Plenty of lovely breakfast places in just a few minutes from the apartment. The metro exit leads you to the street you need; there is even a sign for it right next to the exit. Grocery shops and organic food shop just in 3 minutes from the place! The apartment has everything you need, including kitchen area, a stove, a dishwasher, a large refrigerator, kitchen utensils, mugs and some pasta/salad bowls, etc. The shower is excellent with no pressure issues; the AC works fine as well. Please note that although Park Güell is very close, getting there is rather tricky if you have difficulty walking uphill and climbing many steps. The closest side of the park is actually an exit from it, so you will have to walk around some to find one of the entrances. Make sure to get your tickets early online. They are usually sold out by the time you get to the park.
