Amazing Loft in BCN Center (B0132)

Reviews

• Reviewer: Ben & Sam

  Comments: Forget Gaudí. Alex Villar is my favourite Barcelona architect. This place, which the host himself designed, is spectacular. The photos do not lie. It was ideal for a couple; it would be comfortable for four, though it's open-concept and so privacy in bedrooms is limited. The location in Gracia was pitch-perfect; we were surrounded by narrow streets, packed with bars, cafés, vintage shops and, on our block, cooking schools. We saw Alex briefly; he seemed great. Fortunately we had little need to communicate with him – everything went smoothly. It's places like this that make AirBnb so great. Top marks.

• Reviewer: Paul

  Comments: Alex was a wonderful host. His loft, which he designed, is even more beautiful in person. And it's in a central location, with easy access to all parts of the city. To any future Barcelona vacationers, I would highly recommend staying here.

• Reviewer: Sarah

  Comments: Alex was a fantastic host! Very friendly and accomodating. Not only was his loft in Gracia absolutely stunning & spotlessly clean, he served as a helpful guide regarding transportation, recommended sight-seeing, and local customs. On our last day, the taxi drivers & metro were on strike and he helped to arrange a ride for us to the airport. Alex definitely goes above and beyond for his guests!

• Reviewer: Randall

  Comments: Alex Vilar and his wonderful loft are two reasons why AirBnB is such a great thing. Anyone who has looked at all the places available in Barcelona can be easily overwhelmed. We frankly chose Alex's loft because of its red kitchen, which contrasted nicely with the space's original stone walls. Upon arrival, we knew instantly that we'd made a great choice. Alex was kind and hospitable, and helpful with information about the wonderful Gracia neighborhood. His loft is an architectural delight, and every bit as beautiful as the pictures led us to believe. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay, and we heartily recommend this truly amazing loft.

• Reviewer: Steven

  Comments: Very trendy, comfortable and central flat in the Gracia district. Right past the top of passieg de gracia, and provided us with a perfect location for a pleasant trip. Alejandro was a kind, helpful and trustworthy host who I would certainly endorse. He has many other apartments in Barcelona and I would recommend him unequivocally.

• Reviewer: Lynn

  Comments: Alejandro's apartment is a true delight! It's comfortable, stylish, spacious and very well-designed. There is plenty of storage for everything - clothes, shoes, groceries, the bed is very comfortable, the kitchen has everything you can possibly need and the bathroom has a great shower. The apartment is also very well situated for local shopping and sight-seeing and is 3 minutes walk from a great restaurant (Gut) in Carrer Perrill. Perfect!

• Reviewer: Jay

  Comments: The apartment is comfortable and well situated. I didn't spend much time with Alex, but he seems to be a friendly, conscientious host.

• Reviewer: David

  Comments: Alex loft was just as amazing as in the pictures! Alex was also very helpful and the location of the apartment was great! Will for sure contact Alex the next time I'll go Barcelona!

• Reviewer: Ciaran

  Comments: We recommend Alex's apartment very highly indeed. It was ideal for our needs in every respect: central location, excellent accommodation and facilities and Alex was so helpful with any queries. We intend to use it again.

• Reviewer: Molly

  Comments: Alex was a very accommodating host. He went out of his way to make everything easy for us. The apartment is nicely designed and very comfortable. The neighborhood is charming and close to a metro stop. There are lots of good restaurants nearby. We would stay there again!

• Reviewer: Dmitriy

  Comments: I am a frequent traveler and was doing a lot of research on where to stay in Barcelona, Alex's apartment is at the best location possible. The apartment is one of the best apartment I ever seen in my life. The apartment looks even better then in pictures and the pictures are fantastic. Alex is alSo one of the most pleasant person I ever met he is a wonderful person. Me and 3 of my friends stayed here and we all loved it. This apartment really made out vacation even better then it was. I truly recommend everyone to get the apartment you will not be disappointed... Thanks Alex for everything.

• Reviewer: Jana

  Comments: Beautiful, clean, and spacious apartment--definitely in the "heart" of Barcelona. Great place to base for walks to see Gaudi, to shop, to just explore this beautiful city. Alex helped orient us, was responsive during all phases of our communication. An excellent Airbnb option!

• Reviewer: Birgit

  Comments: Ein traumhaftes Appartement im Zentrum Barcelonas. Wir haben alles so vorgefunden wie auf den Fotos.....eine ansprechende, sehr persönliche Einrichtung mit einer individuellen Note. Bei unserem nächsten Aufenthalt in Barcelona gerne wieder!!

• Reviewer: Arnaud

  Comments: Très bel appartement, les anciens murs en pierre et les aménagements contemporains lui donne bien son caractère de Loft. Bonne situation à la fois dans une rue calme et à proximité de petits commerces, d'une station de métro, ou une situation centrale dans Barcelone pour les marcheurs (entre Sagrada, Parc Guell, Las Ramblas, etc...) Alex nous a bien accueilli, a été arrangeant sur les heures d'arrivée et de départ, et parle bien Français (mieux que nous espagnol !)

• Reviewer: Ree

  Comments: Alejandro was a superb host- promptly responded to all questions; met us at the condo/loft on time; spent time orienting us to the neighborhood and provided suggestions for markets and restaurants; and brought us a welcome bottle of juice and wine! The loft was in excellent condition, just as shown in the photos. The space was well designed; lots of closet space; spacious bathroom in European city standards; having a privacy door for the toilet from the rest of the bathroom was a plus; having a washer was a plus; excellent wifi; kitchen had everything we needed; & the loft was gorgeous with big windows and exposed stone walls! The location was perfect- close to the metro and tons of restaurants. A local plaza is a block away - great little eateries in the plaza and a ham shop if you want freshly sliced pieces of Iberica ham of different kinds. In all aspects, the loft was perfect for us. It is a walk up, which gave us needed exercise. It may be difficult for families with little children or for those with mobility issues. Otherwise, highly recommended!

• Reviewer: Anthony

  Comments: We visited Barcelona as a family of 4 in June 2014. Alex was a fantastic host meeting us on arrival and providing us with tips on what to do during our 3 nights. The loft was perfect for us. Very spacious, comfortable beds, the best location with very good restaurants nearby. We walked or caught the metro (which was close to the loft) everywhere. The area is very safe and a lovely part of the city. Thank you Alex for you sharing your beautiful piece of Barcelona with us. If you stay here, make sure you visit Con Gracia, Estel de Gracia and El Toc de Gracia restaurants.

• Reviewer: Elysia

  Comments: Alex is great! I would stay again- location was amazing- everything you need.

• Reviewer: Jianmin

  Comments: Alex's loft meets all our expectations and we did enjoy our stay at loft a Gracia Barcelone. The loft is spacious, clean and well organized with beautiful interior decoration. The loft is located conveniently within walking distance to reach the grocery store, bakery shop, etc. and to reach the central of downtown as well. Inside the apartment, the internet access is stable and fast. Alex is friendly and interactive. The check-in and check-out process is simple and efficient. The loft a Gracia is definitely recommended and we had already recommended to our friends.

• Reviewer: Carol

  Comments: Beautifully designed loft, close to metro , dining and grocers. We spent a week here and explored Barcelona from this centrally located apartment. Host was helpful and a pleasure to meet.

• Reviewer: Michail

  Comments: Great clean loft located in the center of Barcelona. A quiet hide out after a day in the town or on the beach. No complaints whatsoever! + Check out Bar Mut, the best tapas in town, just around the corner!

• Reviewer: Daniel

  Comments: quartier calme mais proche d'une petite place très agréable avec restaurant, bar et rue commerçante L'appartement est conforme aux photos et au descriptif

• Reviewer: Martino

  Comments: Amazing Apt best located in Gracia

• Reviewer: Jonathan

  Comments: Unbeatable location and professionally run (in a good way). Looks just like the photos. Alex even helped us find a babysitter! Definitely look forward to coming back.

• Reviewer: Susanne

  Comments: Great apartment. Located in a quiet street yet close to all the sights a traveller would like to see when visiting Barcelona. Andre who welcomed us was very helpful and provided us with information in regards to places to eat and shop. The apartment itself can not be faulted in any way...modern, very clean, light, spacious, well appointed ...a comfortable home away from home and as seen on picture advertised. The Office Staff also needs to be commended as always prompt response and easy communication. I am a seasoned traveller and highly recommend this "Amazing Loft". Thank you Alex

• Reviewer: Horacio

  Comments: El departamento es limpio y cómodo (a pesar de estar en un 4to piso por escalera... pero estamos en Europa!!!!) Alex resolvió nuestras inquietudes y pequeños inconvenientes en tiempo y en forma. El departamento esta muy bien ubicado (a 5 minutos a pie de La Pedrera) Gracias Alex

• Reviewer: Frank

  Comments: We had a wonderful stay in Barcelona. Alex was a great host, was very responsive and showed us around in his beautiful apartment. De location is great, close to the metro station, and clean and nicely finished. Would recommend!

• Reviewer: Suzanne

  Comments: Alex is an amazing host. His loft apartment is in the perfect location! The beds are comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. Bathroom large and functional. We would stay here again in a heart beat! Thank you Alex!

• Reviewer: Daniel

  Comments: Alex is a fantastic host, very friendly welcome, smooth check-in and check-out process, he was very helpful in any regard. The appartment is very modern and stylisch. The area is one of the best ones in Barcelona, very central, close to great restaurants and bars and the main shopping disrict. Thanks Alex, looking forward to checkin in soon again!

• Reviewer: Adria

  Comments: Alex was very communicative and helpful. He sent someone to fix the shower immediately when we weren't getting hot water. Although we didn't meet him, we were met by his friend who was friendly and spent extra time telling us about the area. The apartment was spacious and the heat worked well. The only reservations I have is that the bathroom isn't very private, there weren't many extras (for example we only were given half a roll of toilet paper and couldn't find cleaning supplies), and the apartment had a weird dank smell (maybe related to shower?). I admit I have high standards and wouldn't stay here again, but for most I would say the place is fine for a few days and Alex had great communication.

• Reviewer: Simone

  Comments: The loft was excellent, exactly as shown in the pictures, We had a great stay and would absolutely recommend this place. Perfect location in Gracia, nice area and everything worked well. Thanks for the nice time, we will come again.

• Reviewer: Simon

  Comments: Fantastic apartment in a great location. It's even bigger than it seems from the photos. Clean, quiet, comfortable and well-equipped. The location is great too - very well positioned for Gràcia's many restaurants and shops. Alex was extremely quick to respond to everything which made checking in and out very straightforward. Highly recommended!

• Reviewer: Sunil

  Comments: Really nice apartment, stylishly furnished in a great location. Plenty of nice restaurants and bars around although little noise as its just off a side street. Also near a metro stop and 15 mins walk away from La Rambla and Gothic Quarter.

• Reviewer: Ty

  Comments: Wonderful neighborhood. Beautiful apartment. I could live here.

• Reviewer: Rijkje

  Comments: Barcelona is an amazing city, I booked the flat for my family to celebrate my fathers 70th birthday. The flat was lovely, and perfect for our needs. There is a lovely market just up the road where we got supplies from and there is a wealth of restaurants, bakeries and other shops in the area. Communication with Alex and his colleague was 100%, no complaints. I would highly recommend.

• Reviewer: Janine

  Comments: Great location and beautiful Apartment. Thank You! I'll be in touch next time we are in Barcelona. Kind regards, Janine

• Reviewer: Robert

  Comments: The apartment was great, exactly as described and Alex was super easy to deal with, welcoming and very organised. It's in the perfect neighborhood to explore Barcelona with many attractions in walking distance and a metro stop not far away.

• Reviewer: Ellen

  Comments: Nice Place, nice Neighborhood, Gracia is a Great quarter! We were lucky to experience the "Festa Major de Gràcia"..... Event though one has to be aware that this then is not likely to be a pure recreational period in Summer... If you prefer that instead, it is better to take a finca somewhere else. :-) If you want to discover the great City of Barcelona; this apartment is a great place to start with. Alex is a friendly and helpful host; trying to help wherever he can. Check out Alex's list of recommendations; worked great for us. Ellen-Jakob-Christian (Frankfurt/ Germany)

• Reviewer: Lisa

  Comments: Our stay was a great experience. This is a beautiful, well-located and well-appointed loft close to the metro, and within a few blocks of one of Barcelona's prettiest avenues. Booking was easy, as Alex is gracious and responsive. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and accommodating on matters ranging from help with our luggage to transportation to and from the airport. What a lovely city! We can't wait to go back and hope to stay here again. Highly recommended.

• Reviewer: Kyra

  Comments: The loft was just as pictured, modern and comfortable. Everything was clean and the check-in went smoothly even though our flight arrived late. The flat is well located on a very quiet street in a corner of Gracia, close to all its lovely plazas, restaurants and public transit. This place is better for couples rather than friends since the bathroom and bedrooms aren't very private. It's an open loft after all!

• Reviewer: Kay

  Comments: This apartment delivered all it promised. Well situated, groovey decor, comfortable (although a queen size bed would've been nice) and quiet. The climb up the 51 stairs was an effort with suitcases but worth it. Supermarkets are close by and the kitchen well stocked, although we ate out at the many Tapas bars ... sorry we didn't get to meet you Alex, and thanks for a very enjoyable stay.

• Reviewer: Louise

  Comments: The apartment was great. It was convenient, well air conditioned and reasonably priced. There is a square in the Gracia district just 100 metres from the apartment where you can enjoy authentic tapas. There is a supermarket within 100 mteres also. The metro station Diagonal is about 450 metres away and gets you everywhere you wish to go in minutesl. For example, La Rambla is 2 minutes on the metro at Placa Catalunya. At first we were a little confused with where to exit "Diagonal" on our return journeys home, but quickly learned Diagonal/Plau Claris is the correct one (there are many exits). There are three flights of stairs to get to the apartment so not so great for the elderly!

• Reviewer: Patricia

  Comments: Alles ist problemlos gelaufen, Empfang sehr gut und unkompliziert, Loft wie beschrieben, alles ok, Loft würde ich jederzeit wieder buchen.

• Reviewer: Manuela

  Comments: We had a great stay in Barcelona and in the apartment of Alex. It was as described and in a very good area of Barcelona. We were 3 girls staying in the apartment and it was just perfect for us. We felt very comfortable and it was always nice to come to our "home" after the long walks through the beautiful Barcelona. Unfortunately we didn't meet Alex in person, but his friend made the handover of the keys and all worked out very smoothly. Thanks a lot Alex for eveything - we enjoyed it very much.

• Reviewer: Dayse

  Comments: O Apartamento possui uma localização perfeita ! Muitos restaurantes , cafés e as principais lojas de comércio nos arredores , além de ser pertinho de uma estação do metrô . As fotos do apartamento deixam a desejar , ele é muito mais bonito pessoalmente ! O Alex nos atendeu sempre de forma muito cordial e rápida , a oferta do transfer que ele nos ofereceu foi muito cômoda , quando chegamos ao aeroporto já tinha uma pessoa nos esperando e nos levou ao apartamento de forma muito pontual. Super recomento !

• Reviewer: Carlotta

  Comments: L'appartamento è esattamente come si vede dalle foto: spazioso, confortevole, nuovo, pulito, moderno. Eravamo in due e abbiamo potuto usufruire di tutti gli spazi. È in una zona centralissima, comodo con tutto. A pochi passi buenas migas per fare colazione e numerosi ristoranti se alla sera si è stanchi per girare la città. La fermata della metropolitana Diagonal è a pochi passi e da lì ci si muove con comodità. Abbiamo ricevuto una buona accoglienza, poi non avendo più avuto bisogno non abbiamo contattato più il padrone di casa. Viene proposto un servizio di taxi da e per l'aeroporto, per noi è stato molto comodo. Anche i contatti via mail con il proprietario sono stati precisi e puntuali. È un appartamento che consiglio, ottimo rapporto qualità e prezzo

• Reviewer: Ancica

  Comments: On the arrival we didn't meet Alex, but everything went smooth. His friend showed us the appartment quickly and we were satisfied. The appartment is exactly as in the pictures (not so new anymore but really clean and preserved) . The app is not separated by rooms so if there are 2 couples comming there will be a lack of privacy. The balcony is very small but if you are a smoker it will do it's job. The location is central, you can reach really everything in max 30 min. The only minus is the bed .... king size bed would be great ;)

• Reviewer: Jens

  Comments: Great location! Apartment looks exactly like the pictures. Didn't meet Alex himself but his staff was friendly

• Reviewer: Timothée

  Comments: Nous avions rendez vous avec notre hôte pour remise des clés: celui-ci est arrivé avec presque 1h de retard. L'appartement, certes conforme aux photos, était par contre gelé: il n'y avait pas de chauffage dans l'appart et l'hôte nous a indiqué sommairement 2 petits chauffages d'appoint dans les placards. Il s'est avéré que l'un des 2 ne fonctionnait pas et que nous avons eu très froid la 1ère nuit. Nous avons donc envoyé un message à notre hôte pour qu'il solutionne ce point, message auquel il n'a jamais répondu --> Service désastreux, dommage car l'appartement est bien, mais je n'y retournerai certainement pas.

• Reviewer: Sergio

  Comments: El loft está ubicado en pleno centro, es muy bonito y espacioso. La experiencia con Alex ha sido extraordinaria! Además de todas las comodidades, la velocidad de la red Wi-Fi ha sido perfecta.

• Reviewer: Nicolas

  Comments: Hi ! Alex's place is ideally located just in between the very city center (Diagonal) and the nice place of Gracia, very local. The loft is very nice and good for lovers or small family or 4 friends ! Definitely a very nice spot to be recommended !

• Reviewer: Bruno

  Comments: Nous avons été très bien accueilli dès l'aéroport. Pas une minute de retard. Sur Airbnb l'appartement est bien décrit et les photos donnent une très bonne idée de l'appartement. De plus il y a un plan. Le loft est bien situé, central et dans un quartier animé mais très tranquille. Nous avons passé 4 nuits merveilleuses dans ce "Etonnant loft" bien agencé. Nous avons bien aimé. A recommander

• Reviewer: Suzanne

  Comments: had a great stay in Barcelona at the loft apartment. As pictured on the website, modern, clean and great location.

• Reviewer: Claude

  Comments: I had a great week-end with my friend in the loft of Alex. The place is confortable, clean and very well located. The neighborhood is quiet and nice! You have everything close... restaurants, bars, supermarket, shops etc. I recommend strongly this flat to everyone.

• Reviewer: Steven

  Comments: It was a pleasure to Airbnb from Alex. The place was better than pictured - clean, spacious, and comfortable. He is very organized and very responsive. Alex was gracious enough to let us drop our luggage off a few hours before check-in. I had the pleasure of meeting him and got to learn about the surrounding areas and places to explore. It's also in a great location a block away from the main street. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Barcelona.

• Reviewer: Michael

  Comments: Alles in bester Ordnung. Coole Location und Gegend. Super Abstimmung im Vorfeld. Pick Up Service hat sehr gut funktioniert. Optimal für eine vierköpfige Familie. We will come back!

• Reviewer: Philip

  Comments: Great place in a great location. No problems at all! Had a great stay

• Reviewer: Alexandre

  Comments: Host replied to my message very quickly. I had phone/Internet service I could use in Europe. My suggestion would be another way to communicate with the host if you don't have a working phone/internet in Europe. Place is very nice and clean. Check in was not till after 2:00pm. However since we arrived earlier we were able to leave the luggage and grab lunch. Neighborhood is very safe and quiet at night. There's a plaza with some rest. And gelato places close by. Families and kids were out playing and having fun till late. It was a great experience.

• Reviewer: Eric

  Comments: Alex did an excellent job meeting us and describing the neighborhood, etc. He was also kind enough to inform us as to the details of the local parking garage where we had parked our rental car. (His advice saved us some money.) The apartment and the local neighborhood were wonderful. Gracia is the perfect location from which to explore Barcelona. We can hardly wait to go back.

• Reviewer: Chris

• Reviewer: Thomas

  Comments: Everything was great-- as advertised!

• Reviewer: Whitney

  Comments: Alex was a great host - he met us at the apartment and gave some tips for getting around the city. Apt was clean, exactly as advertised in pictures. Great location- walking distance to lots of shopping, Gaudi exhibits, coffee shops and restaurants and very short walk to metro. Would recommend!

• Reviewer: Sarah

  Comments: This apartment is wonderful and right in the centre of Barcelona.The drivers and Mahmoud were all very helpful. Alex's communication prior to our stay was very timely,accurate and helpful.Excellent value for money and I would highly recommend :)

• Reviewer: Nash

  Comments: Very clean apartment with well-equipped kitchen and toilet. Great location as it is very near to Diagonal Metro, and only a few metro stops away from La Ramblas. There are two supermarkets down the street which offers many choices of groceries for those who intend to cook. Alex even went the extra mile by arranging a transport pick up to the Barcelona Sants Train Station. Great and friendly host. And overall excellent experience.

• Reviewer: Fernanda

  Comments: El departamento esta muy bien, muy moderno y limpio, igual a las fotos. Es un poco incomodo con maletas ya que esta en un tercer piso. Todo excelente

• Reviewer: Shuko

  Comments: It was a great stay at Alex's apartment. Alex arranged everything perfectly for our very late check-in, the taxi drivers and Mahmoud who let us in were both super friendly. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Perfect location, the metro station, shops, and restaurants are all nearby. You can easily walk to the local market and Sagrada Familia, we even walked to Parc Güell. I would highly recommend!

• Reviewer: Elisabeth

  Comments: Loft sympathique, à noter tout de même que les escaliers pour accéder à l'appart au 3e étage sont assez raides, ce qu'il faut prendre en compte si l'on vient avec de petits enfants et/ou beaucoup de valises! Alex a été très sympathiques et disponible pour nous aider à récupérer nos clés oubliées, même après notre départ.

• Reviewer: Luca

  Comments: Bella posizione. Appartamento bello. É andato tutto bene. Grazie

• Reviewer: Nubiela

  Comments: La experiencia fue excelente! El apartamento completo y tal y como aparece en las fotos. Simplemente pensaron en todo lo que pudieses necesitar. Altamente recomendado! Gracias Alex!

• Reviewer: Evan

  Comments: I rang Alex from the airport and when we arrived somebody met us with the keys. The location is ideal, close to the center and a tube stop. The loft is very nice and clean. It may not be suitable for older people due to the 3 flights of steps but was perfect for us, I couldn't fault it.

• Reviewer: Ruth Kari

  Comments: Can I just say not only is this loft absolutely amazing.... but it really allows you to feel like you live and are a part of the city and culture through your stay. It's in a really cool town super super close to the action in Barcelona. I walked EVERYWHERE though Taxis are abundant. The loft itself is incredibly beautiful, clean, with a balcony that overviews the block. It's a great way to start and end your days in Barcelona. Overall such an amazing trip and experience. Alejandro is SUPER. He communicates so clearly and really makes sure you're taken care of. I don't see myself staying anywhere else during my stays in Barcelona. Truly grateful.

• Reviewer: Josh

  Comments: Overall, this is a great apartment in a wonderful location, just a few minutes walk to the metro, lots of shopping, restaurants, and scenic views. High quality interior. Beautiful kitchen and layout of the apartment. It was very clean when we arrived, with towels ready and the beds (both the full and the two doubles) made neatly. Be aware that this is a loft, and there are no full walls, just partitions, including with the bathroom (there is a door on the bathroom and to the toilet). If staying here with other people, make sure you're comfortable with each other, and with sharing private spaces. The apartment is on the third floor (second (0,1,2) for my European friends) with a small winding staircase. It can be tough to get big bags all the way up, but Mohamed (who met us at check-in) helped with the lifting. With the windows closed, the apartment is pretty quiet, but as soon as the windows are open, you get the full sound of the neighborhood (great sounds, but people are up pretty late sometimes!). You can't beat the price or the location for such a high-quality apartment. One thing to be aware of, is that when going with this apartment, you're dealing with a rental company through Alex instead of a single person renting out a couple of places. This means you probably won't meet Alex, instead you'll have someone else meet you at the apartment, and you will need to coordinate that once you arrive in Barcelona. This can be a challenge if you are coming from outside of the country. As mentioned above, overall a high quality apartment, and we had a quality stay! Josh

  Comments: The apartment was in a superb location and Alex was a great host, being flexible with check-in, organizing a car service from the airport and being very accommodating throughout our stay. I would stay at his place again.

• Reviewer: Julina

  Comments: Alex's apartment is stunning and in a great neighborhood within walking distance to everywhere you need to go in Barcelona (just put on some good walking shoes) and close to public transportation. We chose the roundtrip travel to and from the airport with the person recommended by Alex which worked out well. Overall I had a lovely stay!

• Reviewer: Amy

  Comments: We loved this special apartment. Location we exceptional. Easy access to everything. Felt very safe the entire time. Will be back to Barcelona.

• Reviewer: Maja

  Comments: We've had a great time staying in the apartment in Gracia, the place was perfect for our family. We couldn't use the balconies because of scaffolding but we had been warned in advance.

• Reviewer: Chin

  Comments: Beautiful, comfortable home in a very convenient location. A bit of a climb to reach the flat but the place that greets you when you reach it more than makes up for it. We very much enjoyed our stay here and opted many times to just hang out at home and enjoy its comforts. Alex was very considerate and attentive to our needs throughout our stay.

• Reviewer: Chris

  Comments: The pictures show the loft as it is, although they may have been taken a while ago. The loft was clean and well looked after. The location is good for exploring the city and on a pretty quiet street for Barcelona, we noticed some noise from rubbish collection overnight at times (around 1am, standard for a busy city), but otherwise it's on a quiet street. Alex was always very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. We had a great stay.

• Reviewer: Nancy

  Comments: Excellent loft apartment in an ideal location. Close to a Metro stop. Alex was very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this place.

  Comments: A great apartment in a convenient location. Close to the Metro with great bars and restaurants nearby. The host was very responsive before and during our stay.

• Reviewer: Tania

  Comments: The apartment is located in a great neighbourhood and it has everything you might need. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It looks even better than the pics. It is all open space with no rooms, something important to take into account if you are going to share the space. Communication with host could have been better but overall my stay was great.

• Reviewer: Yooree

  Comments: Great location and interior

• Reviewer: Paulita

  Comments: El balcón está tapado por un andamio y tanto la puerta como la heladera no funcionaban bien. Es para ir en pareja xq no tiene ni una puerta así que los ruidos de otros huéspedes se escuchan mucho y es difícil Dormir.

• Reviewer: Rahul

  Comments: Really nice and central apartment that is close to public transportation. The apartment is well equipped with required amenities. We had Avery comfortable and pleasant stay.

• Reviewer: Tim

  Comments: Great location and perfect size apartment for our 9 day stay - made me feel like a local! Great public transport options only metres away, with high end stores on the main road and little shops, bars and restaurants within a short stroll

• Reviewer: Thomas

  Comments: Die Wohnung befindet sich in einer Nebenstraße. Sie ist sehr gut mit der Metro erreichbar und es befinden sich verschiedene Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der näheren Umgebung (ca. 5 min). Die Wohnung ist hell und bietet ausreichend Platz für 4 Personen. Jedoch sind die Betten nicht gerade groß. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und bietet sogar eine Spühlmaschine. Auch Esstisch und Wohnbereich bieten eine ausreichende größe für die o.g. Personenzahl. Die Wohnung ist empfehlenswert.

• Reviewer: Kauana

  Comments: The flat is very nice and the location is perfect, near to coffee shops, restaurants and bars. The only minus was the double bed which is pretty small. At all we had a great time at Alex's flat and would come back :)

• Reviewer: Kelly

  Comments: It was the perfect place to stay in Barcelona. Great neighborhood and the loft was exactly as listed. Great mix of the old and modern amenities. I would absolutely stay there again. It is also very quiet when the windows are closed.

• Reviewer: Amy

  Comments: This is my second visit to the wonderful Barcelona in the last six months, and both times I stayed in different apartments belonging to Alex. First of all this apartment is exactly like the photos. It’s perfect, in a great location, nice bars near by and right by Diagonal which is a beautiful Main Street with metro etc. Communication with Alex is excellent, very quick to respond and very accommodating. I would 100% recommend this apartment!

• Reviewer: Alexander

  Comments: What an excellent apartment. The location was ideal for us and the standard of accommodation was high. We very much enjoyed our stay and would happily return for another visit. I would recommend the return taxi service from the airport too. A nice touch and very convenient. It was also great that our late check out could be accommodated. One point to note for other potential guests. The stairs to the apartment are quite steep an narrow. It wasn't a problem for us, but don't overfill your luggage!

• Reviewer: Dominic

  Comments: Alex’s place was just as pretty in person as it was on the website. We did blow a fuse at one point (European electricity can be so bad!) and had a little issue communicating over the phone that we needed to find the fuse box, but once we were aligned it worked out fine. Everything was clean and in a very cute little neighborhood. We really enjoyed the square just down the street to the right. Other hosts provided coffee and the like, but that wasn’t the case so be sure to buy some! The appliances and dishes were perfect for our needs. The tv and DVD player are fickle but if you play with them a little, the picture will come in and they work just fine. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and I would recommend the space to anyone looking for a trendy and comfortable place in Barcelona.

  Comments: Nice spacious, modern, apartment in very nice and lively neighborhood a bit outside tourist main areas. The apartment is on the 3rd floor with very narrow steps.

  Comments: Great location and beautiful loft as seen in pictures. We did blow a fuse but the host was quick to respond and assist with helping us get the power back. Overall, I would recommend this location.

  Comments: I had a truly wonderful stay! Alex‘s amazing, special Loft apartment was perfect for my six-night stay in Barcelona. The flat is so nice and exactly as described. Alex’s assistant Nathalia was welcoming and communicative and made my arrival smooth and easy. The location is fantastic! It is central to everything I want when I visit the capital. Surrounded by a smorgasbord of restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and health food stores. A real pleasure to have stayed there. I or we will come back sure. Thank you so much Alex and his very kind Airport-drivers. All the best, Corinne

  Comments: What a fantastic stylish apartment near the heart of Barcelona! Multiple unique bars and some restaurants within a 3 minute walking distance. All the amenities you could need or want and even a great movie selection for a cozy night in. Loved it! Please note: it is all an open apartment with no ceilings, so keep that in mind if you are staying with other people. Overall 5 stars.

  Comments: Alex war sehr gastfreundlich und zuvorkommend. Wenn es Probleme gab, war er gerne bereit zu helfen. Sehr schön designtes Appartment mit toller Ausstattung, ist nur im Schatten etwas kalt geworden. Insgesamt ein tolles Erlebnis in Barcelona, gerne wieder!

• Reviewer: Alexandra

  Comments: The apartment was beautiful and it a very lovely neighborhood. I would highly recommend staying here on your trip to Barcelona. It is easy to get to all of the sights and the option to have a taxi for airport pickup/dropoff was very helpful.

  Comments: Mehr Schein als sein. Betten sind sehr primitiv. Dusche nach der 2. Person schön kalt. Viel Effekthascherei in der Möblierung, aber wenig Substanz. Lage ist gut, viele schöne Lokale in der Gegend. Bedingt zu empfehlen.

  Comments: Great place in a super area.

• Reviewer: Judy

  Comments: Alex's apartment is in a great location in Gracia with many grocery stores, bread shops, speciality gourmet food shops, restaurants and bars close by. And, it is located very close to several bus stops and the metro. The street in front and the side streets are well lighted and seemed safe anytime day or night. Although the immediate area is primarily residential with young professionals, there are many small restaurants and bars that open in the evening. The apartment is as presented in the pictures, very stylish and contemporary. And, yes there are 3 flights of stairs to climb, so large luggage is difficult. We tipped our cab driver to assist with carrying the bags up the first day and we slowly brought them down when we left. We think you will enjoy the apartment as it is in a very good and central and central area of Barcelona.

  Comments: This appartement is perfect. Very nice decor, very comfy and practical. We had a problem with our train and Alex could easily accommodate our late check in. Also the location is perfect!!! Nice neighbourhood, Close to a metro station and walking distance to many nice spots!really recommend!!

  Comments: The location is perfect, as long as you are interested in walking around the city. We walked to many tourist locations from the apartment; La Rambla, Parc Güell, Sagrada Família, etc. There is also a metro station located close by along with many high end/designer stores. There’s a lot of steps to get to the apartment as it’s on the top floor, with no elevator, this isn’t a big deal unless climbing a lot of stairs is an issue for you. I’m pretty sure every night there was rubbish being collected on the street. This is very loud & noisy & takes place around midnight/early hours of the morning. We were always still awake when this happened, but if you are a light sleeper & like to be asleep before this time then it may impact you. Check-in was smooth except for a few minor issues that were mostly technician issues on my side. We never met Alex in person. We were given the contact number of a gentleman to contact once we arrived at the airport but there was no answer whenever I called. Once we arrived at the Airbnb we were met by a kind lady, this was good as we actually arrived a couple hours after we had expected to arrive due to our flight being delayed. This lady messaged us under the pseudonym of Alex, so just to make you aware you may be speaking with one of his team instead of Alex himself when messaging. The shower can run out of hot water quite fast, there was only two of us and often one would have to wait a while for the water to heat up again after the first one showered. Just be aware everyone in your party should take short showers or maybe at different times of the day when the water heats up again, especially if you have more than 2 in your party. None of these are major issues at all, just things you may want to be aware of before you arrive. Also, I would suggest the metro to get from the airport to the Airbnb, it’s pretty cheap & easy as there is a metro from the airport & a metro station just down the street from the Airbnb. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here, especially if you are a tourist & you like to walk & experience the city!

  Comments: Such a great location for exploring the city. We really enjoyed returning to Villa de Gràcia every day for a more intimate experience away from the hustle and bustle of the more crowded tourist zones!

• Reviewer: Sumi

  Comments: Alex is a very reliable and helpful host. His place is very spacious, fully equipped and the AC is great during the hot weather. Closest metro Diagonal is 2 mins walk dan 10 mins walk to Passeig de Gracia for train to airport.

• Reviewer: Susan

  Comments: Loved this apartment. Stylish, comfortable and great location! Only dislike was climbing three flights with large luggage.

• Reviewer: Anne

  Comments: The neighborhood of Gracia is wonderful and the apartment is very centrally located, with all the nice bars and restaurants just minutes away. The apartment is on the 3rd floor - with a lot of steps and no elevator - but this was not a problem for me personally. The apartment is all open space and the decoration is modern. There were a few improvement points, like not all windows have curtains, the hot water runs out fast and the front door doesn't close properly without slamming it. If you're looking for a comfortable and affordable place to stay in Gracia then go for this apartment, if you're looking for luxury then find something else. Thanks!

  Comments: Staying at Alex's loft was awesome! The flat is in a very nice and quiet street, which is very close to avenue diagonal. Sagrada famiglia, placa catalunya and lots of nice things to visit are easy to reach - by bus , metro or foot. The loft was very clean. Each person got two towels. All of us felt very comfortable at this place - also because of the outfit of the flat. It has got very stylish furniture! We would go there anytime again!

• Reviewer: Heidi

  Comments: Stop! Look no further for a home away from home while visiting beautiful Barcelona. Alex’s apartment is amazing! You’ll have everything you need, a perfect location to begin exploring. The Metro station is close to the apartment, it’s in a great, safe, quiet neighborhood with supermarkets, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, pastry shops and shopping. Alex provides you with everything you’ll need. Yes, there are 57 steps up but worth it. We were very happy staying here for 6 nights. It was wonderful coming “home” after a long day of exploring and being able to relax in the comfort of our “home” for the week. You won’t be disappointed staying here, it’s fabulous. Thank you Alex for sharing this gem of Barcelona. We truly enjoyed every minute in your place and Barcelona.

• Reviewer: Claire

  Comments: No matter the length of our stay in Barcelona, look no further than Alex's impeccably stylish and functional loft. Location cannot be beat, right on the border of Eixample and Gracia, next door to all the Gaudi designed homes, the Park Guell, beautiful walk to the old town and beach. The apartment itself is just as stunning and an architectural wonder (designed by the host himself) as every other building in this enchanting city. Thank you for sharing your home with us, Alex!!

• Reviewer: Steph

  Comments: Fabulous location and very cool apartment. My only issue was that it is a studio and the bedrooms are separated by wardrobes and screens (not floor to ceiling walls and doors) - not ideal if you don’t want your travel buddies to hear EVERY single noise you make!

• Reviewer: Karina

  Comments: It was our first time to Barcelona and we we were three travelling - this apartment was perfect! Centrally located to everything we wanted to see and to the metro and public transport. The area had plenty of character and we enjoyed going to the nearby plaza in the mornings for coffee and in the evenings for drinks. Thank you Alejandro for all your hospitality!

  Comments: Pictures don't lie. Alex's representation of the loft through pictures was very accurate. The loft was very clean and well-designed!

• Reviewer: Christine

  Comments: Great place to stay that is close to touristy attractions but not too close. Stylish and modern. Only issue was that we only had 2 toilet paper roll for 4 people for 4 nights. Not a big deal but please note to bring/ but toilet paper. Other than that - Alex was a great host!

• Reviewer: Enith

  Comments: The first evening we had a little bit of a hiccup with the heater, but Alex responded fast and it was taking care of. I loved the location, walking distance to Paseo de Gracia, local boutiques and little restaurants, which were reasonable. The loft, including the bathroom were spacious, internet was fast, beds were comfy and the washing machine in the loft was a bonus. I actually washed my clothes. The stairs were more than I thought, but was totally worth it for the location. I would definitely recommend Alex’s place again, God willing I come back to Barcelona and stay there. Thank you again, Enith Dec.2018

• Reviewer: Sterrin

  Comments: A stylish apartment in a fabulous location that is just a little bit different. Fitted with a great kitchen and all the cooking equipment you could need. 15 Minute walk to many key sites, for those that prefer, the Metro is just round the corner. Metro also takes you to the airport with ease. Alex arranged a driver when we arrived who waited for our delayed flight. The apartment has a fabulous independent coffee shop and designer boutiques within a stones throw . 5 stars across the board.

  Comments: Nous avons passé un excellent moment de ce beau loft idéalement situé pour découvrir Barcelone.

• Reviewer: Sharon

  Comments: The flat is in central Gracia near the squares that make Gracia so distinctive. All the shops, bars and restaurants are on your doorstep; you can dine out in the squares where there are amazing tapas restaurants serving fresh home cooked food. A culinary delight. The lounge - kitchen is open plan and spacious and the apartment is ideal for a couple or friends. The L shaped sofa is very comfortable and excellent for chilling. The shower was good, lots of hot water and well equipped kitchen. Comfy double bed although the single beds are a bit small The area is vibrant and the neighbourhood is very safe and friendly. Alex responded promptly to some issues I had with maintenance and was very apologetic- a good host. I would stay again when in Barcelona.
