A visit to Barcelona was called for so onto Hotels.com to find accommodation for three of us. An…read moreoffer came up for Apartment Marina so checking it out online it seemed a good bet. But would it be. In fact it was a better deal than we had expected. Four minutes walk to Sagrada Familia and numerous good, reasonably priced, restaurants and bars. Transport also within five minutes.
Secure entrance past a reception which was always manned by very helpful guys. On out first night the poor guy was in panic for me when we didn't have a corkscrew in the kitchen. He was great and found me one within minutes. I think he realised that you couldn't visit Spain without wine.
Lift up to the apartment, in our case the third floor. Nice large lounge with TV (never used by us) with plenty of seating and telephone. Two bedrooms for four people, one with safe. Both with plenty of storage space. Bathroom with everything you could need. Girls said that the hair dryer worked better than any they had used in other establishment. Toiletries. Shower in the bath. Fully fitted kitchen with all appliances, including dishwasher. OK, missing a corkscrew but that was amended immediately. Balcony. If you are lucky at the front, with a view of the Sagrada Familia, but with the road noise (not too bad at night).
A great apartment complex for a reasonable price.
