Habitat Apartments Lauria

A very comfortable stay overall. The only thing I would have wished for was to have the bathrooms en suite or closer to the bedrooms.

The listing is accurate, great location, right by metro. Beds were comfortable, showers worked well. I’d stay here again.

This apartment is in the perfect central location, the check-in process was easy and quick, and the apartment was clean. The only downside is the front door to the building is elevated so you’ll have to step over the elevation to get into the building and the elevator is very small so if you have a lot of luggage or people, you will have to make multiple trips. Also, one of the curtain rods in the living room fell when trying to open the curtains. I sent an email notifying the apartment company and they were quick with a response and sent someone to put the rod back up. Other than that we had an amazing stay!

The apartment is right in front of the entrance to Provenca metro station, on the 4th floor. Good A/C (almost too good!), very nice bathrooms. A little minimal on the cooking utensils, but then who is cooking in Barcelona when there are awesome restaurants all around? A couple of the floor tiles were loose - it would be nice if the owner/manager cemented these back in place. Quiet at night, but only a block from the upper part of Rambla Catalunya and within a stone's throw from La Padrera and Casa Battlo (and a short train ride to Park Guell). A 20 minute walk to La Sagrada. So, for the big sights, it's very convenient. Several of us attended a congress at the end of diagonal (near the beach) - this is a little more complicated to reach (you need to take the metro to Playa Catalunya, then walk a block and a half to Urquinaona, and then get another metro to the Maresme Forum stop). Once you figure it out, it's manageable.

This was a good rental property but there were several things that were either broken or missing in the bedrooms and bathrooms. The Wifi also was not very good, it kept going out every so often and would be really slow if more than 2 people were on it.
