Deluxe City Center Apartment - 2

( Barcelona , Spain )

Nice apartment bit more noise than I wanted but then your in Barcelona, the street is not good for eating or drinking but its an easy stroll into town. The over all size was Good though we found the kitchen to be small, the bedrooms where both a nice size and although there where only two of us you could easy sleep six, making this a very cheap stay, the guy who met us at the apartment to hand over keys was very friendly and very helpful. The city itself was a disappointment, very badly vandalised with graffiti everywhere as well as rubbish in the streets and some unpleasant smells especially at crossroads. Found the Gothic Quarter is the best area, all though we had been warned that this was a dangerous area to be at night, we had no problems, though we did not carry bags cameras or wear jewellery. The cost of things Food/drink ect was much higher than any other place I have visited in Spain. The best thing is of course the Gaudi buildings, though was very disappointed to see that even the Sagrada Família was also badly vandalised in the towers, a real shame as this is not only a national monument but a place of worship. So if you’re not into Gaudi there are much cleaner cheaper and more beautiful Spanish city’s to explore
