Barcelona Touch Apartments - Progres

I liked that parking was provided super close. The staff was readily available for questions

Everything is well equipped. It’s conveniently located, close to metro, cafe and market. The staff is very helpful and responsive and asked our questions promptly which is a big help to us.

Nothing

Very nice!

The apartment was really nice, well cleaned and had all amenities we needed as a family to clean our clothes and do our usual routine. The location was really nice as well, even though a bit far from the central area, it was just a 3 minute walk to the Subway. Sometimes you just know how good service is when things don't go right. This was the case of the Barcelona Touch staff. They were really patient and helpful even when I did not get the address right to the apartment.

There isn't anything specific, my stay was really good.

Hospitality of the representative of the owner trying to solve any issue and provide additional value, very fast and reliable Wi-Fi, smart TV, electronic manuals to everything accessible through QR codes, 2 bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen (even with some stock of tea bags and coffee capsules), washing machine with built-in tumble dryer, quite comfortable beds (though rather narrow from the perspective of a resident of CEE), private terrace (only the rooftop duplex appartment), proximity of variety of cafés, restaurants, shops, supermarkets (countless offer within 5 minutes walking distance), pedestrian zone in front of the building with almost no traffic, just one block away from the metro station Collblanc (takes 10 minutes to get to Barcelona center), low city tax (technically, the apartment is not in Barcelona, but in the adjacent city of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat).

Rather noisy neighbourhood late into the night and early in the morning (suppliers delivering goods and some cafeterías opening already at 6 a.m.) exacerbated by insufficiently sealed doors and windows (unfortunately a Spanish standard), draught in the living room from the same reason (thus uncomfortably chilly feeling while watching the TV in the evening eventhough the heating controller displayed more than 23 degrees Celsius), thin walls (again almost the Spanish standard) causing penetration of sounds from the staircase and corridor with the elevator (especially “wonderful” at 3 a.m. when some other guests in the house return from a party and cannot behave), the rooftop apartment adjacing to the public part of the terrace (divided only by some kind of wooden screen providing barely any privacy, especially when the other guests do not respect the house rules with regards to night quiet hours), uncomfortable sofa (only a thin seating cushion on a steel construction hiding additional bed underneath) literaly hurting ones buttocks after a while, ugly peeling black paint on bathroom fixtures (pretty weird given the fact that the apartment is less than 3 years old).

Excellent facilities and finishes, made staying in this apartment very enjoyable. The beds were very comfortable. We were able to prepare basic meals and enjoy breakfast, including good coffee each morning. The area provided facilities to purchase what we needed and was very walkable. We were close to a subway station, giving easy access to the centre of Barcelona. A good bus network was also available.

When parking, note the allocated spot is in the parking station below the market area
