Bonavista Apartments - Virreina

Excellent property. Their system is an example of automation and self-service: after payment is made, you get a code to enter the building and another code to open an electronic lockbox and get your two sets of keys. They have cameras everywhere (including common inside living areas such as the living room). I felt safe. My not liking the area is just a personal perception because locals deem it to be charming (in a small town sense): many cafes and pastry shops as well as small business such as seamstresses, mercerías, vintage shops, grocery stores, etc- I find the area to be on the poverty side but I might be wrong: we all know that in the real estate business everything is about perception. The property itself and its management, though, are top-notch: impeccable service, flexibility and responsiveness. I highly recommend this company.

I whole heartedly agree with Hsu Cheng’s and others Street noise concerns. As I had exactly the same issue of banging noises and drunken people outside at 01-05am. This went on throughout the whole night and kept myself and my family awake which impacted our holiday in Barcelona. Based on the negative comments ie Noise. I specifically checked the location of our room before I went and I was told “ facing the interior patio” so we went ahead. Unfortunately, this was not the case and we was given the “street view” . If you don’t mind noise and lack of sleep, then you will be ok. I wouldn’t recommend it. The owner states they will try and accommodate facing the interior but did not on this occasion. Surely the fact I am asking about this before the visit indicates this was important for me, but they are saying there systems didn’t allow. I am not convinced with this statement. However, on the positive the apartment was clean, but definitely not worth the overprice we paid. It’s close to the metro and attractions, restaurants, supermarkets and shops. Check in / leaving luggage is easy.

Complementary coffee was not provided. Also, bath soap was not provided. Considering the price, such things should be provided. Apartment was clean and felt like new

I loved the neighbourhood. The communication with the apartment staff over phone was excellent. All expectations were met.

Highly recommended! Property itself was great and convenient. The location is exactly what we were looking for...easy access to key points of interest but without being in the middle of all the crowds...like a local neighborhood feel with the travel conveniences we appreciated.
