The location is a 10. The apartment was well equipped and had just about everything you need. The bed was comfortable. Marcel was a delight to deal with. He was very responsive, check in was super easy. I would stay At Marcels apartments again. Marcel runs a very professional business. Thank you Marcel we had a great time in Barcelona and will return.
Thank you Marcel for a wonderful stay in your beautifully decorated apartment. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. Having a washer/dryer and dishwasher was very nice and convenient. Wonderful shower pressure and comfortable bed as well. The convenience to restaurants and shopping was perfect. We walked everywhere, and had a wonderful time. Thanks again!!!
If there were a sixth or seventh star, I would rate higher. Everything about this place, from the location, to the top-quality furnishings, to the attentive doorman, to an owner who is on top of everything, is exceptional. As is the location, just off La Rambla de Catalunya, but upstream from Plaza Catalunya, away from the tourist maw. This rental is as good as it gets. Seis, siete Estrellas! Todo perfecto. Piso elegante, dueño atentitivo, ubicado en la Rambla de Catalunya, arriba de la locura truistica abajo de Plaza Catalunya. Restaurantes abundantes, variados, y buenos al saiir de la Puerto.

This is a comfortable, well-equipped and well-located apartment.
This apartment is perfect for 2 people! The kitchen is small but well-equipped. There is a lot of storage, even suitcases can be tucked away. Living room furniture is comfortable and Netflix is available in English. Location is excellent, close to Metro and walking distance to many sights. The apartment is very secure, with 3 locked doors to gain access. Finally, Marcel gave excellent suggestions and was delightful to work with.

Excellent accommodations in an excellent location to explore Barcelona and the surrounding area.
A beautiful and comfortable apartment and just a few minutes walk from everything you would want to see in Barcelona.
Quiet high-end Neighborhood, with the opportunity to walk into the middle of the action within minutes.
Elegant apartment. Marcell was very accommodating towards all our requests. My wife particularly appreciated the sophisticated design of the apartment decor.
We loved our stay in Barcelona.

Stylish and comfortable!
Lovely, centrally located flat to all Barcelona has to offer. The building itself is truly a beautiful piece of architecture and very well taken care of. We stayed here for a month and it worked out great. We walked everywhere including to nearby train station for day trips. As others have noted, it is on a busy street so traffic noise at times. But it did not stop us from having the french doors open to the exquisite balconies. Decently equipped kitchen and classy dining room if you choose to dine in. The host, Marcel is incredibly client focused, professional and kind. It was clear he wanted you to enjoy your stay and took pride in this property. He was very responsive and addressed any issues. We would definitely return to this lovely flat!

Loved this place. A fairly busy street so some traffic noise. But let me tell you it’s fabulous in every way. Marcel is a pro. Apartment is as in the pictures. King bed “omg” amazing. Building beautiful. Location “prime”. Hands down, the place to be for your time in Barcelona. Didn’t want to leave. Book it and enjoy!

A Good Find
We found this apartment extremely clean, with an attractive decor, terrific light throughout the unit, and an excellent location. The dining room in this rental was especially appealing. The manager gave us a detailed orientation to the apartment, and that, too, was a great advantage of renting here.
There are some problems with the apartment, though, that should also be mentioned. The storage for clothes is in closets that are behind the dining table. This means that you have to move the chairs away and push the table forward to get real access to them. The very comfortable bed is an asset, but there is very little space to squeeze through the openings between the bedroom area and the rest of the apartment (see photo), so if you plan to get up in the middle of the night, this could be a hazard to you. Finally, it's true that you can't hear traffic noise with the windows closed, but if you want fresh air, you will definitely hear the din of traffic. We were generally happy with this apartment, despite these minuses.

A wonderful experience
My wife and I stayed for two months in Barcelona, most of that time in this lovely apartment. It was wonderful.
The apartment is beautifully decorated, with good quality furniture, and there is a well equipped kitchen. The thermal insulation is very good. Wireless Internet connection was fast and solid.
The location is excellent. Passeig de Gracia is only one and half blocks away, and you can walk to Casa Milà, Casa Batlló or Plaça de Catalunya. There are two metro stations and plenty of bus stops in the neighborhood, as well as many restaurants, bakeries and several supermarkets.
I would recommend this apartment without any hesitation, and on our next visit to Barcelona we would definitely like to stay here again.

Our Favorite Tourist Apartment
We have stayed in many tourist apartments around the world, and can clearly state that this was the best. The design is beautiful and exactly as you see in the photos. All equipment works well: Elevator, A/C, dishwasher, washer & dryer, bathroom. Very quiet with the windows closed, comfortable bed in dark area, perfect for sleeping. Excellent service provided by Marcel. Superb location within walking distance of Metro, food shops, lots of restaurants and bars. Away from the tourist hubbub, but close enough for walking. My only criticisms are that the kitchen could be better equipped and the TV could have more variety of channels. But we hope to return someday. This place is superb!

Perfect!
This was my first experience with VRBO and I have to say, Casa Verdu has set the bar very high for subsequent rentals! I spent a long time looking for the perfect place to enjoy our first visit to Barcelona and I found it in this beautiful condo that was perfect for two people. And I have to say, it was a pleasure dealing with Marcel from the get-go. He was professional, responsive and extremely helpful. We arrived at 8 pm after a flight from Zurich and he was at the front door to greet us. He gave us a detailed orientation to the apartment and the area and our 3 night stay couldn't have been better. First off, the condo is elegant, spotlessly clean, and in a super location. We had everything we needed in the way of dishes, towels, bedding (super comfortable bed and lots of pillows) as well as a washer/dryer and a fully equipped kitchen. The bathroom was spacious, had lots of hot water and good pressure in the shower and the two balconies in the living room look over a tree lined street that is quite busy but when the doors are closed you hardly hear anything. An all night store a block away provided us with what we needed in the way of breakfast basics, but given that we ate our lunches and dinners out, we didn't miss the kitchen being stocked with everything necessary for cooking meals. We really appreciated Marcel's recommendations for places to eat and found a few of our own. As well, we were meeting family from Sweden so the condo became a great place to rendezvous. We enjoyed ToTo's bar and restaurant just down the road, as well as easy access to the shops and restaurants nearby. All in all, a beautiful property that I would not hesitate to stay at again or to recommend!

Could Not Have Been Better
Based on the pictures and reviews, my expectations where high. They were surpassed. Beautiful apartment, beautiful city, super helpful, friendly and professional contacts (Marcel and Andrea). I've stayed in numerous Airbnb and VRBO places (including three different ones on this trip) and this was easily the best so far. The apartment is very clean, comfortable, beautifully appointed and quiet. The location is great. The elevator most welcome on those days you feel you've walked a hundred miles. The air-conditioning even more welcome than the elevator. You get the picture. Basically, if I return to Barcelona (and I want to), this is the first place I will try to book.

Amazing apartment in an amazing city
Marcel met us at the building to show us through the apartment. He was very thorough and provided us with advice on places to eat and visit. The apartment was excellent and very comfortable. The location of the apartment was also in a great part of town which certainly helped exploring the city on foot.
Marcel's tips for places to eat were absolutely spot on. We experienced tapas in different forms from the popular contemporary tapas bar to a more traditional local tapas bar.
We highly recommend this apartment to anyone travelling to Barcelona and we will definitely be coming to stay here again. Thanks Marcel.

An amazing week in Barcelona
The apartment is just as nice as it appears on the photos. It is stylish and comfortable and ideal for 2 people and could accommodate 4.
Everything worked perfectly during our stay. The building is not only a beautiful example of Modernista architecture, but also very secure and very well located on a tree-lined busy street a few meters from the Ramblas and the Paseo de Gracia. In spite of being on the street side with two big beautiful French doors and two small lovely balconies, this apartment was remarkably quiet and we slept like babies. You can walk almost anywhere (to the Ramblas, to Plaza Cataluña, to the Barrio Gótico, to the Sagrada Familia, to the Avenida Diagonal and Gracia neighborhood, etc.) from the apartment if you don't mind walking anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes. Walking in this city is a feast to the eye (and the palate) since it gives you a good opportunity to stop here and there to taste the incredible "montaditos", the delicious pastries, good coffee, sparkling cava and so much more! I would recommend following the restaurant recommendations on their carefully done notebook for guests. We enjoyed enormously the bakery next door (which is new and not in the notebook) with buttery croissants, great bread, freshly pressed orange juice every morning; The Basque restaurant, "Taktika Berri" (169 Career Valencia); "La Ciutat Condal" on Las Ramblas has the best tapas! But I digress...Metro stations are very close by, and taxis are reasonable ($4-8) and so much fun as you can engage the driver in conversation about soccer, politics, the economy, food, you name it, and learn more about the people of this great city!
When I arrived on Sunday morning, Marcel greeted us and showed us the apartment, and spent an hour explaining what to do, see and eat in town. He was not in a hurry, and answered all questions. He took notes about some questions I had and promised to enquire and email back the answers -which he did the following day in great detail and with all sorts of useful links.
This kind of attention to detail is what sets apart the experience of renting this particular apartment. You know you are in good hands. Marcel and Andrea are professionals, but also these people love and know their city and it shows. I would highly recommend this apartment and this managing company. I have been renting apartments all over Europe for a long time, and it is rare to find this type of commitment to excellence! Bravo!

Amazing Apartment in Amazing Location
Everything in this apartment is great, from furniture, cleanliness, security, comfort, glam, location, and customer service. Perfect location away from the tourists but still within walking distance to many sites and tons of great restaurants around. Two metro stations within few blocks. Very quiet at night even though it is located just half a block from the big street. Very safe neighborhood. Communication with Marcel was very prompt, professional, and pleasure. All the pictures posted here are exactly as they are in the apartment. Yes, it's that beautiful and nice. I love this apartment! When I go back to Barcelona, I will book this apartment in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody considering a trip to Barcelona to stay here.

Great Apartment, Excellent Location. Would be improved by a few extra amenities.
Marcel was very kind to us and as a couple we were very comfortable in this small, fashionable apartment right in the heart of all the Modernist architectural wonders. Virtually everything interesting in Barcelona was within walking distance or at least an easy, quick bus/metro/walk away. This being said, the only toiletries/amenities in the apartment were salt, pepper, pump soap at the bathroom sink and toilet paper. There were no shower products (not even bar soap), only one waste basket in the entire apartment and no tissues or basic kitchen products (like olive oil, vinegar and coffee). There were only two wash cloths for the four nights we stayed and I could have used at least three more of those as well. We did not expect luxury, but given that we had traveled a long distance and I arrived with a terrible head cold, the lack of these simple things was a definite inconvenience.
As mentioned in a previous review, the two twin beds pushed together do not exactly make a proper king bed as the "crack" inbetween the beds does not accommodate much repositioning or snuggling. I would actually have preferred a smaller "double" or "queen" bed to this arrangement but given that I was sick anyhow we made the best of it.
I would stay here again but be sure next time to check a bag with all the "extras" that would bring a more basic level of comfort. I do thank Marcel for his attention and hospitality.

The perfect city break apartment
This stunning apartment is just perfect for a city break to Barcelona. The location is excellent and in walking distance of all the main attractions. It is decorated beautifully to the highest quality and has everything you could need. The service you receive from Marcel through the booking process is excellent and then he met us at the apartment to give us the keys and show us how everything works. Marcel will also give recommendations and has maps available to show where the nearest amenities are. We had the most wonderful 3-night break and this apartment definitely topped it off. I would recommend this to anyone. A 5-star stay.

Amazing location & a super lovely apartment !!!
Thank you Marcel! It was an absolute pleasure to deal with you and we fell in love with the apartment. From the first email, to our arrival & the orientation you provided, and arranging a taxi to the airport on the last day...you were an email or phone call away. I so appreciated your level of service, professionalism, timeliness and good nature. When we travel, we stay in apartments as opposed to hotels and I have to say that this has been my best find yet...and I've scoped out many apartments in many locations! I had been dreaming of my trip to Barcelona for many months and our stay could not have been more perfect. It will remain a very special memory. For those reading this, we were 4 adults in our mid 50's staying here for a 10 night stay. The apartment was spotless and exactly as the pictures – the black & white décor, exquisite furnishings & building facade provided much character. All the beds (even the two in the dining room that dropped down) were very comfy – 12” mattresses on all beds! First day in, we immediately felt at home and didn't want to leave. Located a few blocks from much of Gaudi's work too...perfect location. We walked to Sagrada Familia, the beach, the Cathedral in the Gothic area, etc...apt was close enough to the main touristy sites, restaurant and plenty of shopping and yet resided on the cuff of quieter streets. PERFECT! Huge grocery store 7 minute walk away, and bakery and small store around the corner. We cooked-up a few meals and enjoyed a few dinners indoors, it was lovely. Plenty of taxis at your door-steps. A/C worked very well, it was nice to come back to a very cool apartment as the weather was quite hot in July. Wifi/Internet perfect! Shower water pressure, amazing! On Day 2 the coffee maker stopped working, Marcel replaced the unit within hours...that's service!!!
For those looking for a great apartment, look no further, you won't be disappointed with this find...this is the place to stay! Safe neighborhood too. I would not hesitate to recommend this place and when we return to Barcelona we would definitely stay here again, definitely! Thank you for everything Marcel, be well...Linda & Murray

Beautiful, classy, cozy
Superb apartment, stands out of the average because of its history and also the decor. We really really loved it!
Marcel was organizing everything even the pick up taxi to the airport in our last day, and everything was just great.
This was our first time in Barcelona and we just fell in love with the city.
I would love to come back, see if there is any luck next year :)

Great Location! No more Old Quarter!
The location of this apartment really made the difference for us. We have been in Barcelona before but stayed at another apartment in the old quarter, which I sworn we will never do again.
This apartment is right in the center, very well connected by metro and with markets, cafeterias and restaurants just around the corner. Also Marcel was quick to assist us with any questions we had. The doorman Santi is also very polite and helpful. The apartment itself is very comfortable for two people, maybe a bit too tight if there were more persons staying. Overall we had everything we were looking for! A quiet, safe and comfortable place to stay in Barcelona and also well connected by metro in order to reach any point of the city.

Great Location, Excellent for an Extended Visit
Property #
Rental Agent: BCN Insiders (Marcel)
The true measure of this apartment is that we felt comfortable here during our six-week stay in Barcelona.
An excellent location. Elegant buildings including this one. Three fine restaurants within a stone’s throw, one became our favorite. Medium-sized super-market three blocks away, minimarkets within a block. Fine bakeries also in the area. A few blocks to many fashion stores. The Metro is two blocks away. The street (Carrer Valencia) is very busy and is a main route for eastbound traffic.
The building is beautiful, with an elevator. The building and the apartment are very secure. There is a friendly, helpful concierge during the day and early evening.
The apartment faces on to the street. There are two large floor-to-ceiling double-glazed window-doors opening on to small balconies. It is very smart and well-furnished. The furniture is quite comfortable. It was immaculate when we arrived and were greeted by the agents, Marcel and Andrea. It comprises a large living-dining room, sleeping area, kitchen and bathroom. The beds are twin with very good mattresses. The clothing drawers and cupboards are built in to a wall of the dining area. Although there are two pull-down beds in the dining area, we would not recommend this apartment for sharing, although a family with one or two children could live here quite comfortably.
The kitchen is well-equipped with a good-sized refrigerator, a modern, electric ceramic-top stove & oven, a dishwasher and a microwave. There are sufficient pots & pans, dishes, cutlery, glassware and utensils. There is a window over the sink opening on to a central air-shaft.
There is a very up-to-date washer-dryer in a utility cupboard, where there is also cleaning equipment.
Finally, we have to mention Marcel and Andrea who have been very helpful during our stay and in the negotiations leading up to our renting the apartment. They have been quick to answer any of our questions.

We stayed at this apartment in the end of Sep 2012. Overall, the apartment must be recently renovated and in a great condition. Sizable bathroom with a shower, manageable size kitchen, there is living area combined with dining area/table. For Europe the place is of a decent size. Marcel (the agent) was easy to reach both by texting and over the phone. Location is good: 15-20 min walking time to the north tip of las Ramblas, about 5 min to the closest metro. There is a bakery few steps away and a restaurant across the street. One minute walk there is a major street with shops/restaurants. Something to keep in mind is that Barca is quite compact, so taking a cab from this place to the sea was only 12 euros. The apartment is in a historical building and area is very safe, there is a door-man during a day. It’s really on the fourth floor even though an elevator button says “2” with windows facing the street and the building across. The street is relatively busy during a day with lots of mopeds, but the street noise is minimal with closed windows. However, if someone wants to sit on a balcony outside in the evening, it’d still be too noisy. There is no bedroom per American standards, but a sleeping area separated by a glass door from the living room with two single beds pushed together. There is wireless internet and couple English speaking channels. We liked the place and the price for this quality is very reasonable.
Couple tips to the owner/manager:
- Install something simple to keep beds together during night (they kept sliding apart)
- Print out locations and directions to supermarkets/stores around the area for the visitors, those are not easy to find.
