My favorite part was the large co-working lounge. There were many places to set up my computer and get some work done. The hanging paper lanterns in the dining room give the property a very stylish touch. The aesthetics throughout the property are hip and trendy. The staff are also amazing and helpful! You can see the entire city skyline from the rooftop terrace, including La Sagrada Familia cathedral in the distance. The location of the property is great. It's walking distance from Park Güell, Casa Batlló, and many other attractions. Or take the metro to go to the beach, the Gothic Quarter, etc.
