Notes

First of all, welcome to Barcelona. We’re happy to have you and we hope you have an amazing time staying in our flat. That being said, at the risk of being obvious, here are some basic ground rules

Be mindful

We are not the police, nor do we want you to feel like we are patronizing; but we think it’s our duty to point out some common sense stuff, as we’ve had our experiences with not so well behaved guests in the past.

Respect the neighbours. Put yourself in their shoes, and keep the noise down to a minimum after 10PM. You are on holiday, but they’re probably stressed about their jobs and would appreciate a good night’s sleep. We want you to have fun, but be reasonable and don’t do unto others what you wouldn’t like done to you. Pissing them off is only going to get you into trouble, and surely you don’t need that while you’re on holiday.


No Parties!

We get it, you’re excited about being in Barcelona. But remember, the walls are thin and if you’re having a party, so are the neighbours. And maybe they’re not in the mood for that. Don’t start a fight you can’t possibly win, it’s their city and we want to respect that. Any guest that causes a disturbance will be asked to leave the apartment immediately (no refund at all to be granted). Sorry!

Also, watch out for slamming doors or hallways. Try to be quiet when entering the building, it’s not hard to be a good neighbour and we’re sure you can do it.

Also, it is not allowed to have more guests than you indicate during your reservation.


Keys & check-out

Don’t leave the keys in the mailbox. If you leave earlier than check out time, please leave the keys on the table and pull the door behind you to shut it. Most flats have the type of door that doesn’t require you to lock when you leave. That’s something to watch out for, as it’s very easy to get locked outside (which is also a bummer, take our word for it). Make sure you lock the door with the key every time you leave the flat. That way your belongings stay safer.


Don’t smoke inside

NO smoking allowed in the apartment. We care about your lungs, but if you have to do it, please step outside. We’d like to keep the flat from smelling bad when our next guests arrive.


Don’t waste energy

We kindly ask you to please turn the lights and air conditioning units OFF whenever you leave the apartment. We care about our planet.



Extra stuff

Additional cleaning, bedding etc can be arranged for a longer stay - but you have to request this while booking.





Tourist tax
The government of Cataluñya imposes a tourist tax of €6.05 to be paid by every person over 16 per night with a maximum length of 7 days. The tax is a small price to pay in exchange for clean beaches, well-maintained roads, and good facilities.


Arrival

Standard Check-in is from 15:00h to 20:00h. However, we can accommodate late arrivals as well.

Please note the extra charges for late arrivals
Arrivals after 8PM have to pay €25 in cash to the person making the check in with you.

Arrivals after 12AM have to pay €50 in cash to the person making the check in with you.

These charges are due to late working hours of our staff.


Departure

Check-out time is by 11AM. Arrangements can be made to leave luggage in the apartment until the departure from Barcelona if no other reservations are pending.

Note: if there is no booking for that day, talk to us about arranging a later check-out (if possible).


Lost keys

If you lose a key, there will be a charge of €50 to replace the set.


Kind request

On your last day, please wash the dishes and take out the garbage.


Interaction

We are here for you 24/7 - it’s our job to make sure you have a good time. Therefore, in addition to anything accommodation related, we can help you plan just about any experience you can think of, be it sailing trips, guided tours, off-the-beaten-path voyages.

You can also count on us for any type of transport (limo service, bike rental, scooters, jet-skis, yachts, just about anything short of a rocket, you name it we’ll take care of it).

We also offer deals on airport shuttle at convenient prices.



Neighborhood

Meet your surroundings


The house is located in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, which is an extension of Barcelona. The area is very quiet, residential, away from the hustle and bustle. You are still very close to the city, with fast and easy connection options to get to different areas in town. The bus (L12, LH1, LH2, N2) and Metro (Badal Station) stops are 10 minutes away walking, and take you to the center without much fuss. In addition, you will be 10 minutes away (on foot) from Barcelona’s famous Football Club, or 20 minutes away from the Universities.

The Sants Metro & Train station is 15 minutes away, walking. Due to the fact that it is the most well connected train station in the city, organizing trips around and outside Barcelona is pretty convenient.





The closest neighborhoods


Sants is the closest neighborhood to the house. Lots of things to explore on its quirky little streets, around the iconic Plaça d'Espanya, including a former bullring from the 1900’s (now the city’s most unusual shopping center- Arenas de Barcelona), or the Font Magica’s captivating show of choreography of lights, water and music. For those into more “off the beaten path” options, there is also a former women’s prison that has been transformed into a museum on Calle Provença.


Located on the other side of Montjuic, the very pittoresque Poble Sec is the ideal neighborhood for bar hopping, as its famous Carrer Blai is packed with “pinchos bars” that offer small basque tapas. The surrounding area features some of Barcelona’s most iconic entertainment venues (Sala Apolo, Sala Barts, Teatre Victoria, El Molino, etc). No shortage of entertainment options between these two neighborhoods.

Montjuic has its own wonders: the botanical gardens (Jardi Botanic Istoric, Jardins de Joan Brossa & Jardins de Mossèn Costa i Llobera) some museums (the majestic Museo Nacional de Arte de Catalunya, the newer Caixa Forum, the Catalan Museum of Archeology, the stunning Fundacio Joan Miro, hosting the most famous Catalan artist’s works, Poble Espanyol where you can explore miniature versions of traditional spanish architecture), the funicular and the cable car you can hop on for jaw-dropping views of the entire marina & old city), the Teatre Grec if you’re into the dramatic art, Palau Sant Jordi where legendary bands play their live music, and the former Olympic village. Neither of these, however, rival the panoramic view of the city and Mediterranean sea you will get from up there.





If you want to go to the beach


Barcelona’s beaches are many and offer a wide variety of dining, spots and other entertainment activities. All of them are accessible through the Yellow Metro Line (L4). For example, around Port Olimpic you will find people playing volleyball most of the year. The Barceloneta area is the most lively stretch of the beach, especially during the night, but if you’re not into crowds, here’s our tip: Bogatell is one of Barcelona’s newest beaches, so not that many people know it. Renovated in the 90s when the city’s coastline was rehabilitated to host some of the Olympic festivities, it is now a local favorite, not just for sunbathing and water sports, but also for everyone enjoying ping-pong, beach volley, or football.

Due to its recent urbanization, this 700m stretch of perfect sand is one of the best quality seafronts Barcelona has to offer.





In case you want to do some shopping


Arenas the Barcelona, the former bullring converted into a shopping mall offers a variety of interesting stores, but let’s face it: the place is so cool that it’s worth a visit as a historic landmark, even if you don’t want to shop. Bonus, on the top floor there are a few nice restaurants where you can enjoy the local cuisine with a breath-taking view.


Pro Tip: If you want to go to a traditional market, the Mercat de Sants sells great meats and produce for affordable prices - the same things you will admire in the city center’s Mercat de la Boqueria you can buy in this market for a better price.


Some central landmarks


The city’s epicenter is Plaça de Catalunya, situated in the middle of the old town neighborhoods Barri Gotic and El Born. The city’s most luxurious street (Passeig de Gracia) and it’s most famous (La Rambla) both stem from this large square. The area is full of museums, monuments and interesting cultural venues like Museo de la Marina, MACBA (for Contemporary Art) or the Catalan Cultural Center, plus some fun and interesting stuff for kids of all ages (Big Fun Museum and Museum of Illusions or the Wax Museum). The Gran Teatre del Liceu (Opera) is also on La Rambla. Everything is easily accessible by metro, bus, taxi or walking.


The center of Barcelona is a very lively place, with its contagious exuberance constantly spilling out onto small streets and cute Plaças packed with cafes, bars and local designer shops. The iconic La Rambla is an eclectic kilometer-long stretch of restaurants, bars, cultural venues, street vendors, convenience stores, fashion boutiques and just about anything else you can think of. Explore palaces, history rich sites like Plaça Reial, admire street performers and avoid flower sellers. There’s an El Corte Inglés department store right in the middle of Plaça de Catalunya.


A notable stop on La Rambla is its famous Boqueria, a fresh-food market with over 300 stalls that sell produce, meats, cheeses, fish, seafood, nuts, fresh juices and many other incredibly delicious things to munch on. There’s also a local food school where local chefs and sommeliers share their wisdom. If you’re not afraid of a little hike, head uphill to find other iconic Barcelona landmarks, like the local’s favorite Villa de Gracia, or Gaudi’s other masterpiece: Park Guell. Either way you go, something awesome is waiting to be discovered.


Contemplate the gothic architecture around Barcelona’s 800 years old Cathedral, all covered in gargoyles. See Columbus’s statue, admire the yachts in the marina and stroll through the Barceloneta streets onto the nearest beaches for the Mediterranean vibe. Elegant colonial buildings surround you. Shadowy arches. High windows. Fading wooden shutters. Travel back in time as you wander the narrow streets. The buildings lean overhead, almost touching.



Access

The easiest way to get to the house from the airport is by taxi (12 minutes). You can also take the airport shuttle bus (A1 or A2) to Plaça d’Espanya, and take a taxi (10 minutes) or go on a 40 minute walk if you want to enjoy the views. The Estacio Sants is the closest train station, and the Foc (L10S) is the nearest metro.


Space

Traveling by car?
