Barcelona Balconies 41 - Habitat Apartments

Barcelona in general, the location of this Appartment in particular, balanced the overall poor Quality of this Appartment itself. It seems to be a kind of Money-Machine, when Controlling kicks in and tries to squeeze out efficency. 4 People? 4 Knifes, 4 Spoons, 4 Plates – all looking like a patchwork-family (I love patchwork-families though). The Beds, the doors, the windows, the kitchen-appliances – everything feels like a car, superficially optimized to make it through the next MOT/TÜV etc. but nothing more. Nevertheless, the stay way awesome. The appartment was just the place to eat (sometimes) and to sleep. I really would recoomend the owner to invest into this very nice appartment, even if it's not worth the asking price, it's still valuable enough to be looked after a little better. Bonus-Track: check out the wonderful Cafe Auto Rosellón in the beautiful Neighborhood – what a special place to enjoy some food.

My family (4 of us including 17 and 20 y/o boys) visited in March 2025 for a 7-day stay. Apartment was clean and ready upon arrival. All of the basics were provided (linens/dishes/cleaning supplies). Rental management team established and maintained good comms prior to and upon arrival and immediately handled a minor maintenance issue. Security: We felt very safe in the neighborhood. Additionally, the property used an online app for locking and unlocking the external door (on the street) and door to the apartment. We had no problem, but important to have all adults register and download the app for maximum flexibility in entering and securing the property. Doors will auto-lock after a few minutes. I thought the use of app was better and more flexible than having to account for keys. Location: Just minutes from the metro and tons of restaurants, bars, bakeries, and grocery stores nearby. Really could not have been much better. Appropriately quiet during sleeping hours. Amenities: Apartment has clothes washer/dryer and dishwasher. All the appliances worked without issue. Hot water is via a flash heating system that provided hot water as 4 adults showered and got ready each morning.- Access: Apartment is on 4th floor. We experienced intermittent elevator outages. Seemed liked local residents would stop and lock the elevator on their floors even when not using it. My wife has an issue with her knee, so walking the stairs was an issue.

The place was well located and charming. The staff was hard to reach and did not communicate well with me or each other. In the end, the woman who met us at the apartment was short with us because we were late - correct timing was not communicated by her colleagues. Each outreach took multiple tries . I do not speak Spanish and admit that the language barrier may have contributed.

Lovely apartment in a fab location. A bit noisy at night but that's what you get with a lively location!

A beautiful apartment in an excellent

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It was very easy to download the app let us into the building and apartment (though I had to make sure my phone was always charged). Having one person with the app did make it tricky to split up since I always had to be there (or switch phones). The apartment itself was nice, cozy, and clean. The washer/dryer and air conditioning was absolutely fabulous to have! The neighborhood was super cute and it was easy to get to anything (bus, train, shopping, restaurants). Would definitely stay here again!

Super cute home in a great neighborhood! The air conditioning was amazing and it looked and smelled very clean. The lock gave us a problem once. However, management was super quick to respond and help.

Positives and negatives about this condo. The positives are that the location really is great. A wonderful neighborhood with restaurants, bakeries and relatively quiet and away from the tourists. Also, the view is great. The negatives were the check in process was quite difficult with the app for the condo not working for a large portion of the first day. Second we were given one trash bag and one roll of toilet paper for an entire week with three people. We were told we needed to buy our own trash bags and never brought more toilet paper so we had to go to the store and buy washer and dryer pods, trash bags and toilet paper. Just seemed crazy for how much they charged for the stay.

This is a really good, comfortable spacious apartment in a fabulous location. There are lots of good bars and eating places around and it is a very pleasant part of Barcelona to wander. Many of the major sites are in walking distance. Two downsides. The access system is a phone app which was not always online when you tried to enter, causing some delay. And you could only unlock the door from inside via the app which we thought could be problematic in an emergency. The second was that the kitchen was not as well equipped as it should be. But could be easily fixed.

Apartments was in a great neighborhood with many market and restaurant options. Great Tapas restaurants within blocks which meant we didn’t need to venture further into the city. An easy cab ride anywhere in the city. Apartment had plenty of room for my wife and I and 2 teenage boys. Bedrooms were a good size and kitchen had everything we needed.
