Guestbook for BEACH - Barcelona Centre

Leanne Cosby (16 Sep 2009)

I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time staying in the beach apartment.

All the information you gave us in advance was incredibly helpful, your communication was always very clear and accurate and I felt happy and comfortable with all our transactions.

Tony met us at the airport and this was also a very smooth process. He was very friendly and welcoming and meeting him was a great start to our holiday.

Adalis was absolutely lovely. She gave us so much information about the local area and made us feel completely at home in the apartment. She was able to answer all our questions and put us completely at ease.

The apartment was exactly as advertised and we were delighted to find that the description '2 minutes from the beach' was no exaggeration! The location is amazing, right next to the beach and Barcelonetta is a really charming part of Barcelona . The apartment was clean, well equipped and a good size.

I will be recommending this apartment to my friends and family and we would stay there again if we ever return to Barcelona .

I know that you advertise on many websites so please feel free to use any quotes from above as an endorsement. Or if you would like me to write something more specific I would be happy to. Please also pass on my thanks to Adalis who was so very kind to us.

Very Best Wishes

Leanne

My girlfrind and me (from the US) were in Barcelona recently, and after MUCH searching we were very glad we chose this apartment. We found the apartment to meet all of our needs, and was exactly as pictured on their website. The bedroom and the bathroom were were adequate, beatifully decorated. The living area, kitchen and dining area were also very spacious, with plenty of room to stretch out in. The living room furniture was in good shape, and very comfy, and there was a nice size flat-screen TV. All appliances in the kitchen were in great shape & worked very well. All necessary gadgets/pots/pans/utensils/glassware, etc. were present and accounted for. Our favourite asset was the location of the apartment: literally steps from the front door you will find a beatiful beach. Barceloneta is a great district, you can enjoy the beach while staying in the city centre. Close to everything, for those fishlovers you will find the best restaurants in town located a short few blocks from the apartment…very good food, and the service/staff were also great!

In summary, we liked this place so much, as well as all of Barcelona, that we are planning a return visit in 2011. We will definitely be staying at the Barceloneta apartment when we do!

Tanya Smith, London (stayed: November 2008)

The apartment is beautifully done - modern and bright. Every detail is considered - perfect in its simplicity. Being right on the beach is fantastic - we could wake up, go to a local bakery for breakfast and stroll straight onto the beach. Surfing and swimming on your doorstep. We loved Port Olimpic for the harbour, the restaurants and the art shops. The walk along la Ramblas is beautiful. Thank you!
