MH Sagrada Familia Apartments Barcelona

We selected this facility b/c proximity to Gaudi's Sagrada Familia. It exceeded our expectations. The kids had their own bedroom, there was a washer/dryer, the metro was nearby, super market across the street, etc. Whenever back in Barcelona, we plan to go back to this location.

Maintenance was very poor. Lamps did not have bulbs replaced, bathtub plug was wrong size, pots were literally dancing on the stove as round bottomed and outworn and impossible to clean, etc. The system of having to call someone and then stand around int he freezing winter wind until the person shows up is imperfect. Change could not be given, even though amount was known, so change should have been brought; amount was foreseeable. And many more details.

Great two bedroom apartement, try and get a room on the back and you even get a peak of sagrada towers its that close, one block ! mini mart opposite and plenty of retaurants in the block, internet cafe next door, metro one block. No reception so phone them on arrival to get a checkin time and they come and open up for you, very efficient.

We were 5 girls staying here for 4 nights in October 2007. We rang the landlord from the airport who met us at the apartment to let us in and give out our keys. The decor was fresh and contemporary, new pillows and matresses. There was plenty of hot water in the mornings for all of us - we had two bathrooms in the apartment. The kitchen was modern and well equipped although we didn't use the washing machine or dishwasher. The apartment was round the corner from Sagrada Familia with metro stops and barcelona tours/ bus turistic stops nearby. The only negatives were that we could't get hot water out of the kitchen sink so we boiled kettle to wash pots; also the apartment was very warm but it did have air conditioning; we had the same towels for the 4 days. All in all we were very impressed with our accommodation and will definetely stay here again on any future visits to Barcelona.

Good and convenient location. Poor maintenance

Very good self catering apartment, plenty space. Close to a supermarket which stocked the basics for running the apartment for a week. We didn't eat much in the flat, ate out most of the time. Barcelona was a lovely place to visit with plenty to see and do for both children and adults. But be warned watch your bag at the Metro stations as we were very nearly robbed, otherwise a great holiday.

Very good value, modern 2 br apartment close to metro and one of the main attraction in barcelona. A bit of a hassle to get the key especially weekend moring.

Very impressed with the apartment, all positive except the views from the windows and the lack of hairdryer. Definately recommend it as a very affordable base in Barcelona.
