Wonderful

  : The flat was great - good sized and really well stocked kitchenette, big fridge freezer, plenty of space for eating,, and good storage space in the bedrooms. The washing machine downstairs meant we could keep our swim wear and other clothes clean between beach trips, and the drying rack meant things would dry on the balcony in the sun (there's a tumble dryer too if needed.) The kids loved the small pool on the back patio and I also saw another group enjoying an evening meal on the tables down there which looked like it worked well.The position is fantastic. The Gracia rail station is directly underneath, The L3 metro line runs from a stop 5 minutes walk away and there are buses to the city centre, Mt Tibido Barceloneta beach that right from right outside. Although I was nervous about staying on a 'main road' (and there is traffic noise out the front during the working week) it's actually nothing like a main road in London and the plaza was a lovely social space in the evenings - bring ping-pong kit to enjoy games when the shade comes!The flat is also right between the slightly sterile middle class Eixample on one-sided and the gorgeous Boho Gracia District on the other. We enjoyed evening and early morning walks through Gracia and found great places to eat. There's lots of residents around so its not just tourist trap stuff.Finally the team were really helpful with liaising ahead of our arrival, booking tourist bus passes, giving advice on where to go etc. Brilliant customer service.
  : There was an issue with hot water when we first arrived, but it got fixed very quickly. There's a dedicated maintenance team it seems. One night the boys in the next flat were smoking on their balcony and we couldn't dry our clothes out there due to the strong smell. But it was only once and all the young adult groups who came and went from the building obeyed the noise rules and were good neighbours.
