Frequently asked

Can I leave my luggage before check‑in?
Yes. If cleaning is finished we’ll let you in early; otherwise you can drop off your bags and go out for a meal. Message us that morning to arrange.
Is the beach far?
Barceloneta is a 15‑minute walk or 2 metro stops (L4). Bring your own towel; the apartment towels are for the bathroom only.
Can I drink tap water?
It is potable, though quite hard and has a chlorine taste. Most guests buy bottled water; it’s cheap at the corner supermarket.

Enjoy Barcelona.
