Monrooms Barcelona

1. location: to my point of view, the location is perfect. It is in northern part of the city, 200m to a transportation hub (namely, Pl. de Lesseps) where you can take Metro Line 3 (the most convenient line for visitors to Barcelona) and multiple bus lines. Since I am a hobby-photographer and I knew in the northern part of city there are 3 hills which are great places to overlook Barcelona and for wonderful photos. This property is close to these hills – especially very close to Park Güell (on the middle hill among the 3 hills) and Jardins del Turó del Putxet, both within walking distances (of course ascending road) but there are also convenient bus routes which can reduce your physical demand. The 3rd hill, Turó de la Rovira, is beyond walking but there is a bus line 22 which brings you almost top of the hill. Frankly speaking, the location was one of the primary reasons why I chose this property. 2. property itself: The receptionists during my stay were Albert and Jordi – both are extremely nice and helpful persons! The room I stayed was very spacious and clean. For 2 people’s luggage, I’d suggest the owner to put a bit more furniture (but of course the room price will be higher). My room was equipped with 2 fans – 1 ceiling and 1 standing - for September it was enough and but I guess it might be a little difficult for the hottest days in July and August. There is a communal kitchen and 2 fridges (shared by 8 rooms in this property) - which are very useful if you want to make some food by yourself. 3. surroundings: It is located in the District of Gràcia, which is a very nice and safe district (as nice as its name = grace). There are many dining places and supermarkets around (of note, I found the supermarket chain DIA and Supermercados Consum are both good and cheap). The surrounding area are quite hilly, but I considered climbing everyday as a very interesting experience in Barcelona – again, you can also use local buses to reduce your physical demand.
