This apartment was great for our family of 10. We had 8 adults and 2 kids and it was great. The bus stop is right out front and takes you... read more straight into the gothic quarter. We also loved the nearby restaurants. The AC worked well in the bedrooms too. Marc was a wonderful host. Very communicative. He had the two baby beds set up right when we got there. Overall, great place, especially for the price.

Xmas Trip 3 generations: 15 nights with 4 adults and 2 teens who were happy to have their own rooms. Best location and a great space to hang out together... read more after long days. Being able to hook up our laptops for Netflix movie night was a bonus. Marc is charging top dollar for a stellar location but he needs to up his bedding game and take care of deferred maintenance at these prices (1st week no mattress pads-so sheets directly on mattress, no extra blankets provided in winter, very limited towel supply, needs bath grout and deep cleaning, shower door seal and drain repair, paint chips falling off door frames, baseboards coming off, worn couches). Hall debris when we arrived so he sent cleaner back and offered to clean after 7 days again. Cleaner left a poopy pillow that had been washed and molded in the laundry room so the smell was disgusting. Dryer was very old and sanitation was now an issue—he had a new dryer delivered. Marc was very responsive like that throughout our stay!

We were a family of four with two young kids. We also had two more friends stay midway. Having 4 bedrooms was great. The place is very spacious with a... read more long hall separating 3 of the rooms from the kitchen, dining and living room areas. The two larger bedrooms are very spacious. Each bedroom had A/C (and Marc even installed one on our second day). A couple of the rooms have some noise from either the middle hall in the building or upstairs. So if you are a light sleeper, this might be one thing to note. You do need mobile data to get in initially as it is an internet link that opens both the main building doors and the apartment doors. There is washer and separate dryer which was very useful. The kitchen is fully equipped and had everything we needed. There were also games and toys for the kids to play with. There is a brand new 3.5 meter long tables with modern pendant light above that want in the pictures. We hosted a private chef dinner and was great. Location is very good. Thx!

A snooty landlord doesn't let you have fun in the apartment every moment complains about a million things that didn't happen at all, looks for all kinds of reasons to... read more charge more in the end.. takes pictures of basic things of a drop of dirt and asks for a thousand euro fine for cleaning that has already been paid in advance money for cleaning . Ruined our vacation every moment, notifications about noise even when we were not in the apartment, just an annoying landlord, not recommended at all, what's more, the apartment is not like the pictures at all.

Marc’s apartment is spacious, well furnished and ideally located. The beds were comfy, water pressure was good. Air con worked well to keep the apt cool and comfy.
Barcelona... read more is a very walkable city. We were able to easily walk to the Sagrada Familia and to the Gracia area. The area around the
apartment is less touristed with many charming restaurants and small grocery markets. It is a very safe area of the city.
Don’t let the size of the apartment hold you back from renting it for only two or four people. It’s nice to have that extra space and privacy!

Marc's apartment was perfect for our family vacation. We had a total of 9 people. Marc was responded to any questions or concerns immediately and was able to resolve any... read more issues that may arise quickly. The apartment is a walk or just a train ride away to all tourist areas. Walking and riding public transportation is the most efficient way to get around. The apartment was clean and felt very comfortable, like a home away from home. There are so many shops and food places surrounding the apartment, that everything you need is a walk away. I also like that the specific area the apartment was located was not as crowded as the La Rambla or other touristy areas of Barcelona. I recommend Marc's apartment with a big group. Thank you Marc.

Great host, great apartment.
Everything you might need is provided.
The apartment is spacious, full of light and nicely decorated.
Can’t think of anything that could have... read more been better.
Very nice location. Grocery store right in front of the apartment (and many others around).
Would love to stay here again.
