Short Stay Group Paseo de Gracia Serviced Apartments

The property had people enter our apartment multiple times without as much as a phone call for warning and forced us to move apartments on short notice. I had a booked an apartment for 3 nights. The second day we were there we came back to our apartment to find the door wide open and 2 women inside our apartment. We were told the apartment weren't going to be serviced, so we had all of our things out in the open. The people claimed they worked for Short Stay Group and that they thought the apartment was empty, apologized and left. I went to the bathroom and when I came out I saw they had let themselves back in again. This time they handed me a phone, the man on the telephone said that we had been given the wrong apartment, that they had made a mistake and I was to leave and move to a new one immediately. So we spent 30 minutes repacking and moving to a new apartment, while cleaning ladies rushed us onward. Both apartments needed a paint job and had broken door handles.

The office to check in was 2metro stops away and the Barcelona map was confusing so it took forever to find the place. We had trouble getting the door unlocked, even got another guest to try and help. In the end we called and got it sorted out. The apartment was large, but walls needed repainting. Scuffed and grease marks in both the LR and Bedroom. Bed was comfortable but the room was uncomfortable to sleep in as the AC only really cooled the LR. A ceiling fan or box fan would’ve been great (and for the price wouldn’t be too much to ask. Nice view out the window of the AC unit. Overall so-so for the price. I saw a room I’ve the back that looked much brighter. Maybe the dark grey walls added to the atmosphere.

The apartment was in a great location, clean and comfortable.

The apartment is located in a great location. Check-in is in a different area, 30-35 minutes walking. It was a little dirty when we arrive, but overall is was alright.

spaciously and great located apartment for any kind of Barcelona trip

The location is perfect but check in it is very inconvenient because after a long fly with 8 family members ,I lived them on the street in front of the apartment to go to las ramblas to pick up the keys . I took two taxis and the tourist taxes is more what we spected

We were pleasantly surprised with the apartment. We found the location to be excellent and extremely walkable. We were even able to walk to the Magic Fountain from the apartment. Check in was a bit of a hassle because we arrived during a severe thunderstorm and our wifi wasn't working so we couldn't call the office for the entry code. Luckily the nice Chinese restaurant next door allowed us to use their wifi.

The apartment itself was ideally located, in a great neighborhood with amazing high-end shops just a couple blocks away. It was also spacious and clean, and secure. However, the check-in set up was fairly inconvenient, as it is located in a different building about a 20 minute walk away. It's not a huge deal if you fly in at a time when the apartment is ready, but we flew in around 11 AM and had to come back to the office around 2 PM to go pick up the keys to the apartment. Keep this in mind if you need to store your luggage before/after checking in and out, as it is not in the immediate area of the apartment.

An excellent location for exploring Barcelona with all main amenities close by and easy walking distance to main attractions. Staff friendly upon arrival, easy check in and left to own devices on the trip, which helps. Would recommend for small groups or travellers with young families.

We had a great time in Barcelona in large part due to our apartments location. We couldn’t have been happier with everything.
