Sots 3 Apartment

This was a very spacious, comfortable & affordable place to stay. This was also in a great location because its near Jaume 1 metro station for when you need to visit tourist attractions. Overall a peaceful stay in one of the trendy Quarters of Barcelona\'s centre.

Wir waren für 4 Tage in Barcelona - Sightseeing und entspannen. Die Wohnung liegt perfekt, 15 Min. zu Fuß zum Strand und 3 Min. zur nächsten Metro. Die Wohnung ist funktional, sauber und hat WLAN. Das Bett ist für 2 Personen etwas klein und bei 2 Handtüchern p.P. für 4 Tage muss man sparsam sein. :-) Wir würden dennoch jederzeit wieder kommen.

Great location! Kitchen well equipped however the cutlery was not clean. We appreciated that there were a few things in the cupboards like tea. Was surprised that there was no soap in the bathroom and we had to buy more toilet paper. Enjoyed our stay. The biggest problem was the inability to access wifi.

The apartment is as shown online. (Some pictures are of Sots 4, very similar.) Nevertheless the apartment was perfect for our lovely stay of 11 days. On a pedestrian and occasional vehicle street, however as quiet as anyone could expect downtown in any major city. Only one short block off a major street, two from the beach thoroughfare, and three to a metro station. Everything was exaclty as advertised, and more. Loved the outdoor terrace. We would gladly stay at Sots 3 again.

Apartmentgröße ok. Lage gut, nachts oft laut. Die Person die uns empfing hat uns leider nicht gesagt, dass man die Tür nicht mehr öffnen kann wenn ein Schlüssel von innen steckt. Kosten 80 €. Diese Information haben wir dann auf einem Infozettel gefunden. Das ist wichtig und muss gesagt werden oder Infozettel an die Tür. Klimatisierung haben wir nicht benutzt da es gestunken hat. Viele Schränke aber keine Regale in den Kleiderschränken. Ansonsten war es ok. Habitat comments: We are sorry for not answering you in German. We would like to thank you for your feedback and remind you that when you signed the contract, all of the important informations and conditions were detailed there and it´s important to read carefully to avoid cases like this. We check the air-conditioning and we forward your suggestions concerning the closet to the responsible person.

we loved the location of the apt and the balcony was a bonus

Surprizingly quiet. Comfortable bed. Enough space for family of 4 with 6&9 year olds.

Great location, walking distance to everything. Very safe area.Representative that met us at the apoartment was on time and very friendly and very helpful. Apartment clean, great shower, bed a little hard. I would recommend highly. Great stay.

We enjoyed everything about our stay in barcelona and the location of the apartment was the best part of it. Thank you for your friendly and helpfull service!

Although this apartment is not fancy, it is so very worth the price. It was super clean and the location, could not be better!! It took us a long time to get here (travel complications) and we were so grateful to be greated by our host right on time!

Overall we had a great stay at Sots 3. There was a lot of noise in the night and early morning from people on the streets but not in your control. We think a few basics in the apartment like salt and pepper and oil and vinegar would make cooking more practical. //Habitat: Occasionally noise is normal in apartments located in center of Barcelona. Regarding salt and pepper are possible just in case you ask about the Welcome Pack; all of our apartments are self-catering.

Centrally located if you are able to find your way around Barcelona. Barcelona is a 24/7 city, so if you mind noise during the night you should find somewhere in the suburbs. Hasslefree check-in and stay. Spartanly furnished, but all I needed to sleep, wash clothes and make a few simple meals:)

Clean and well equipped apartment. Very close to the center and easy to get to all attractions in Barcelona.

Goede centrale ligging, keurig schoon, beetje gehorig.

No comments

We were happy with the apartment but on the negative side the apartment did not have any glasses and did not have a light bulb for the kitchen lamp. // Habitat Apartments : Thank you very much for these comments. We have taken care of it.

The apartment was just as described. The place is very secure. Water pressure is great in the shower. The street noise is a bit noisy, but that seems to be everywhere in Barcelona and surrounding areas. The check in process was extremely easy and friendly. We would definitely use Habitat again!

We had a very nice stay in Sots 3 Apartment. The location is perfect with lots of nice little bars and eateries around. One minor point was that it was rather cold in the apartment and we had trouble getting the heater working. Also, there was a small mix up with our departure date as the cleaner came on the Saturday thinking we were leaving that day whereas we were only departing on Sunday. However, this was resolved quickly and overall we had a lovely stay in Barcelona!

The location of the apartment is just perfect! We enjoyed the most being in the old town, a step away from the Ramblas and the Old Port. The apartment was cozy, clean and quiet. We would definitively book with habitat again.

Great location - ideal for a couple.

Habitat staff was very accommodating since our first apartment had issues and we needed to move. Sots 3 is sunny and comfortable. The shower head was going to be repaired. The deck off the bedroom was nice for relaxing or to dry your clothes. We enjoyed our stay in Barcelona.

Apartment seemed very good for our purposes. Only problems were the bedside lamp and the shower bracket were broken, and the roll up door on balcony broke. The area seems a bit run down, with graffiti on buildings. Also very noisy at night but we understand this is a common problem in Barcelona. Overall an enjoyable stay - thank you. Habitat Apartments: Both the bedside lamp and the shower bracket have been fixed. Thank you

Nice apartment and location.

The apartment suited our requirements for a short break.(2 adults & 1 child). It is very easy to explore the Barri Gotic and Born areas from here and the nearest metro station is 5 mins walk away.

An excellent choice for travellers who want to be independent and self-sufficient on a trip, as it has a full kitchen and laundry facilities in a central location in the gothic quarter.

We stayed in sots 3 app. four nights in Nov 2010. The location of the ap. is great - 10 mins from Catalunia square (city centre with many shops etc), 15- 20 mins from Rambla street, plenty of super markets and cafes in the neighbourhood. The neighbours in the building are quiet but the street noise can be heard at night. I would reccomed the sots 3 to a family with kids. Our baby got fever during our stay there and habitat apartments personnel was helpful in providing the info re the doctor and hospital to choose.

Plus: location: near bus stop, coast line, many restaurants, places to see etc. Minus: To us the apartment is very noisy especially during weekends. (We are living nowadays in countryside in the house with triple windows.) The apartment is quite dark in the evenings. You cannot read in the bed. Anyway we enjoyed staying in Barcelona very much. Thank you.

Great location for exploring the old part of the city. Good apt. and much better space than hotel for the money. If you don\'t require the hotel frills, this is a better alternative.

The apartment was ideally located,spotlessly clean and well equiped.I would recommend this apartment to others and would be happy to return.

Overall excellent, good value for money

Appartement sympathique et très bien placé. Parfait sans les problème d'internet.

Great apartment: clean, comfortable for two, great location and surprisingly quiet. The only thing missing:beach towels

David from maintenance was helpful. All in all excellent!

My family stayed there for 8 days and we thought the apartament was great espcially the balcony, excellent location and walking distant from many of the city's attractions. Unfortunately, the towels and blankets were not enough with a toddler and a baby, but I would definitly book with Habitat again and stay in this apartment.

Location is good and in a quiet central area. The apartment style is good. Services offered good. Overall good value.

What great value for money! Perfect location amongst the nightlife. Easy to access Metro to explore the rest of the city. Would recommend and stay again myself! Thank you!

Excellent value for money, very reasonable rate. Location of the apartment was fantastic, bars, restaurants, shops all easily accessible. Apartment style is super modern and clean. Appears same as on internet. Love the terrace!

A nice apartment in a great location.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Sots 3 Apartment. The apartment was nice, the location is great. We'd definitely stay there again.

Buenas tardes! Hemos tenido una estancia muy confortable. Quiero destacar la amabilidad recibida de la Srta. Nicola. Good afternoon, We've had a very comfortable stay. I would like to highlight the politeness received from Nicola. E. M.

Just a quick note...I would like to thank you for my stay in Sots 3 apt. I would not hesitate to recommend habitat to my family and friends and I will be using you again, thanks, D.

We stayed for 3 nights at the Sots 3. The communication on booking etc was excellent and the directions to the apartment were perfect. <p>On arrival they were waiting for us. The airconditioning was very welcome. The kitchen is fully fitted with everything you could want. The apartment is beautiful, spotlessly clean and crisp whie linen and towels are provided. It was lovely to sit out on the balcony. The location was great, easy to find as it's just off the big main road, and it's just round the corner from loads of tapas bars etc. a taxi to the airport with suitcases cost 22 euros but you could easily get the train.</p> <p>The price was about the same as a 3 Star city centre hotel but you get so much more, loads more space and I would not hesitate in using habitatapartments again.</p> <p>Shirley, UK.</p>

Hi, Once again a great stay in Barcelona, thank you for your flexibility on our leaving time, it really helped. Didn't get a chance to fill out the customer form, but we were very satisfied as usual. See you again! Eoin

My husband and I had a wonderful vacation in Barcelona and staying in a beautiful apartment in the heart of Barri Gotico really added an extra special touch to our overall experience. The directions provided by Habitat upon booking were extremely helpful, especially since the small streets and alleyways in the Historic district can be quite confusing to visitors. However, we were able to find the apartment with ease. We arrived at our Sots Tinent Navarro in front of the apartment we didn't see anyone, since we arrived a little later than we expected. We didn't know exactly what to do at the front door, but with a quick call to Habitat they paged our correspondant and an energetic woman named Esperanza came to greet us within a few seconds. She was so enthusiastic and friendly, and took us up to the 3rd floor where we were let in to the apartment and showed us around explaining how to use the air conditioner, the locks on the doors and the washing machine, and suggested some places to visit. The apartment looked exactly as pictured on the website and there were no surprises. It was beautiful and clean and spacious with clean linens and towels provided. I liked having the room to spread out and relax and also do laundry and cook meals. This was MUCH nicer than staying at a hotel and for a comparable price. I found it a nice touch that there were English novels on the shelves and Lonely Planet books of Spain and Barcelona. The location was incredible. The Barri Gotico was an ideal place for us to stay as it had so much character, and not to mention the plethora of restaurants, bars, art galleries and cafés in walking distance. What an interesting quarter of the city. 15th and 16th century buildings near plazas and cathedrals with cobblestone alleyways. I loved it. I also loved how we could buy fresh baguettes at all of the nearby corner stores and bakeries and bottles of wine. We were so close very close to the Jaume 1 subway station, 5-10 minute walk from La Rambla and 10 minute walk to Barceloneta beach. The beach was also a great feature that we used on many occasions! Across Laietana Street, there was another pocket of historic buildings that looked similar to Barri Gotico, an area called El Born. Only on this side of Laietana, it was a little trendier with cute shops and more upscale restaurants and bars. El Born seemed to be filled with more tourists than in Gotico, and it was really beautiful. I liked it there a lot, but I prefered the eclectic and less "put together" vibe in Barri Gotico. All in all I would happily highly recommend Habitat Apartments to friends, family and to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay in Barcelona. The hospitality in Barcelona as a whole is top notch. Thanks for everything! Kimberly & Sharl R. Toronto, Canada

Wonderful apartment. Wonderful holiday. Wonderful Barcelona! Lindsay
