“The owner was incredibly supportive, and having a handy kitchenette was a real plus.”

9.4Verified guest

“This modern, comfortable studio in a central location made for a great stay. The design was beautiful, and the view of the church was lovely. Efficient heating and plenty of warm water made a winter visit to Barcelona easy. The area was charming, with lots of restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries, and small shops around. The towel and rubbish service every other day was a nice touch.”
