Grey P2 - Amazing duplex apartment

Rated on: 09.07.2024 Length of stay: 6 months

We stayed as a group of 3 international students in the apartment for 6 months. Check-in and check-out process was hassle-free, the agency was very quick to respond to any inquiries and maintenance request which was a lifesaver as none of us spoke Spanish. Communication with the staff were smooth and we got our deposit back in full shortly after the contract ended. Photos listed on Flatio are accurate, the house is equipped with cutlery and cooking equipment, outdoor terrace spacious, the flat has 2 floors with 2 bedrooms and main bathroom upstairs while the other small bedroom is downstairs close to the kitchen. You can hear plumbing and some sounds from the other apartments but overall it was very peaceful. The building has a lift with a rooftop terrace, but the flat itself is on the ground floor with a ramp. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Neighborhood
Location is quite convenient between 2 metro stations and very close to several supermarkets, including local fruits and vegetables shops. Direct metro from airport and easy access to both University of Barcelona campuses and night buses stop nearby after the metro finishes. Neighborhood itself was fairly safe, schools nearby with families and children and elderly walking with their pets. Late evenings are quiet and generally safe, although it can feel a bit eerie in the middle of the night.

Artisanal horchata (Spanish tiger nut drink) and slushie place near the metro station, super refreshing and popular with the locals!

The flat has everything you may need for a long stay. The host is very responsive and ready to help.

It's near two subway stations, just 5-7 minutes away, so it's very convenient. There's a supermarket that is open even on Sundays and holidays, just two minutes away.

Grey P2 - Amazing duplex apartment

Rated on: 05.09.2023 Length of stay: 2 months

We had a very pleasant stay, and the agency which manages the property was quick to answer any queries we had. A minor nuisance happened when they entered the apartment (to bring a pair of scissors which was missing) without letting us know in advance.

Apart from that, everything went smoothly. The apartment is very functional. Moreover, we got our deposit back in full within two weeks of the checkout. (We are very careful in general not to damage anything, but this is always a stressful part of renting!)/

Neighborhood
The flat is close to two subway stations, and around 15 minutes away from a tram station. Transport in Barcelona is very good in general, and we had no problems getting around (we got T-usual tickets).

There are also 4 small supermarkets VERY close to the flat, and we had everything we needed (we're a couple with a 6 year old son).
Not too far away is a fruit store, with very good prices.

We did not go out at night, so we cannot talk about the streets then.
We did go out to to a plaza close by at ~8pm, and the area seemed fine, with many kids playing outdoors.

Excellent apartment in an excellent location.

Neighborhood
Very local neighborhood with markets, cafes, restaurants, and parks. The V19 bus which stops right at the intersection takes you most places (Park Guell, Cosmo Caixa, Barceloneta, and the Funicular for Tibidabo).

Boqueria 11 - Lovely 3 bedroom near La Boqueria

Rated on: 11.07.2023 Length of stay: 1 month

Apartment is in a great location. Nice park, restaurants and grocery right outside the door. Just a short walk from most of the major tourist attractions.
Common areas of the apartment were well maintained. Wi-Fi worked great- no issues at all. I was even able to connect outside at the park. This made working remotely very easy.
Apartment was overall as advertised. Adequate furnishings and kitchen items. Air conditioning worked well. We had linens and basic cleaning items as well.
Only a few minor complaints. Lots of wear and tear was visible in the apartment - cracks in paint, stains on the floor, etc. We had two situations when we blew a fuse and had to switch it on. One occasion there were sparks from an outlet. We also had some difficulty connecting with the landlord to get a replacement key. We got it but it took longer than we expected (nearly a week).
One other note- we had difficulty finding the apartment initially. Our cab dropped us at the wrong location. We tried to call the landlord but they said we were in the right spot. It wasn’t until I contacted the individual who was meeting us that I learned we were in the wrong spot. I should have provided a cross street to the cab driver.

Neighborhood
Nice neighborhood with a park and restaurants right outside. Close to many tourist attractions and public transportation but this doesn’t feel like a totally touristy area. I would definitely stay here again. I felt it was safe and a good place for kids as well.

Tons of good spots to explore!

Nice apartment near the beach in Barcelona

Rated on: 22.06.2023 Length of stay: 2 months

The apartment is nice. We had some issues during our stay, but the landlord was always quick to respond and the issues got solved in a day or two.

Neighborhood
It's a nice neighbourhood, and the apartment is very very close to both the beach and the metro, which is very convenient. Overall, it's a safe neighbourhood, however, due to its proximity to the beach and the many tourists in the area, some restaurants on the promenade are overpriced and you need to beware of pickpocketing (pretty much everywhere in Barcelona though).

Recommended places nearby
There is a supermarket right across the apartment and a lidl within walking distance, so buying groceries is fairly easy. For restaurants, I would recommend going to El Gótico or El Born neighbourhoods, because there are some better-priced, very cute restaurants.

Amazing place, hard time getting security deposit back, asking for bank numbers which we don’t feel comfortable giving

Neighborhood
Very close to el raval which is one of the most unsafe places, wouldn’t walk alone at night anywhere because there was always homeless people out side that would cat call us, on of my friends got his chain stolen off his neck right outside our place

Recommended places nearby
Very close to las ramblas, shopping at the square, la Boqueria

Grey 22 - Bright & modern 2 bedroom apartment

Rated on: 06.03.2023 Length of stay: 2 months

The flat is very clean and cozy. We had a great time there during our first two months in Barcelona. Check-in and check-out were very simple and smooth. We had minimum communication during the stay because everything was working perfectly. Just one suggestion that I wanted to mention is that it is great to add a bit more storage space for clothes. But for short-term stays, I suppose there is enough of it. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Neighborhood
There are a lot of small shops, supermarkets, and cafes. 7 minutes walk to the nearest metro stations (2 different lines).

The apartment was perfect for a short stay while I found long-term accommodation. The studio is very well organised and laid out, so it feels very big and the areas feel separated. Very pleased with my stay.

Apartment is really top. Landlord wanted me to sign an extra contract apart from flatio, which i did not. That was the only confusing thing, but other than that, the communication was friendly and always helpful.
