Bright two bedroom and 2 bathroom apartment with very high ceilings, two open balconies and one enclosed balcony, on 2nd floor, with elevator. This apartment still has the 100+ years old mosaic floors (a different design in every room) and the original woodwork on the doors and windows. The apartment sleeps 4 people on one Queen size and one double bed. The ideal occupancy would be 4 people.
Description of location -

We loved the Principito! Clean, comfortable, beautiful apartment - just as pictured - high ceilings, lots of windows, amazing tile floors, the architectural details really added to the ambiance. Totally modern kitchen and baths. (Could've used a shower curtain around tub, non-slip mat in shower, and a couple extra sets of towels, but washer/dryer saved the day.) Easy walk to Sagrada Familia, cafes, markets, with close-by bus, subway, and taxi stops to take you everywhere else. Prompt and courteous communications with owner and greeter. Would definitely stay here again should we be lucky enough to ever return to beautiful Barcelona! Thank you!
We really enjoyed our one-week stay in this apartment! Charming old-world feel, very spacious and well maintained. The tall ceiling is our #1 favorite feature, it makes the rooms seem so grand! Our #2 favorite feature is the large windows/doors that open to the balcony, with view of the gorgeous Sant Francesc cathedral across the street. Nicely furnished, good lighting (although the bathrooms could use more light above the sink) and excellent air condition system. The beds are comfortable, we slept like babies! 1 Large bathroom (love the huge bathtub!) and another small en-suite bathroom with plenty of plush towels. Kitchen has modern appliances, including flat-top stove, microwave, and dishwasher. We also liked the washer and dryer in the kitchen. Extremely convenient location, we walked to some nice restaurants in the neighborhood, one large fruit/vegetable market, a supermarket and bakery, etc. The famous Passeig de Gracia shopping district and Gaudi’s Casa Batllo are only 5 blocks away. Subway is also nearby, where we took the train to go to the beach and visit the Aquarium. Even though it is facing a busy intersection, the apartment is quiet at night, especially with all the windows closed. Wi-Fi connection went down once and management fixed it quickly. Kind, friendly staff. Many thanks to the wonderful manager Marielle for all her assistance. Highly recommend this apartment. Tip: Don’t forget to take the elevator to the roof-top terrace, the view is spectacular!
Cannot say enough nice things about our stay in Principito. Our group consisted of four women, my best friend, my two daughters (22 & 24) and myself. The level of customer service was evident right from the start. Quick replies to emails, great instructions with multiple transportation options to arrive at the apartment, multiple pay options, etc. Greeted at the apartment by Negre Apartments staff who made themselves readily available even when quite late the first night we forgot the code to re-enter the apartment and had to call them for assistance! Lovely decor, very clean, comfortable, excellent air conditioning, nice balcony and rooftop terrace with a nice view of the Sagrada Familia and the Torre Agbar..... Less than a mile from Las Ramblas, Sagrada Familia, the beautiful Hospital de Sant Pau, the Catedral, museums, shopping, you name it while still maintaining a neighborhood feel! Easy access to bus and subway transport, and we never waited more than a few minutes on those rare occasions that we felt the need to hail a cab. Slightly further away but still within walking distance to the beach, the zoo, the Ciutadella Park, and all of the interesting and charming features of some of the neighborhoods like Gothic, Sants, Eixample, etc. I would not change a thing if I had it to do over again. This lovely apartment was the perfect refuge to begin and end our days in Barcelona. Hoping to be back soon! There are several cafes, markets, bakeries, bars and restaurants nearby. The lovely Salesians chrurch across the street adds to the charm as the tolling bells mark the hour.
