“rapide et efficace”

Written on: 19/05/2013

La location s'est faite très simplement à partir du site internet : les différents appartements disponibles sont facilement identifiables et les périodes de locations également. Le choix est assez vaste. Prépaiement aisé, disponibilité des interlocuteurs, appartement qui remplit toutes les attentes pour une semaine de séjour. Une adresse à conseiller pour louer un appartement sur Barcelone (read more)

“Heerlijke Spaanse wijk, perfecte uitgangs-lokatie”

Written on: 04/05/2013 by otbeijen

In een echte Spaanse wijk dicht bij het strand en op 10 minuten lopen van La Rambla. Zeer praktisch appartement met alles erop en eraan. We hebben heerlijk weer gehad dus konden veel gebruik maken van het grote terras. Metro op 5 minuten lopen, heerlijke Tapas-bas om de hoek, fiets-verhuur op loop-afstand; kortom perfecte locatie !!

“Relaxing holiday ”

Written on: 28/03/2013

The apartment met our expectations. It is large and bright with a good terrace (although the weather didn't allow too much use of that)m Some of the equipment needs updating or fixing but overall it was comfortable and quiet, affording a good night's sleep - essential for a good relaxing holiday ! All our dealings with Cocoon Barcelona were efficient and friendly. The C.B. people we met were helpful and obliging. Overall a good experience (read more)

“ first class accommodation”

Written on: 27/03/2013

Our first trip to Barcelona and definitely not our last. Our contact person met us at the agreed time and made sure everything was hassle free. The accommodation was first class and even though it was March we were still able to sit out on the terrace and enjoy the sunshine. It was in a good location with lots to see and options to eat and drink. Public transport was first class and not expensive. We fitted so much in during our four day break. (read more)

First time staying in a holiday apartment and defenitely not the last time! We felt like we were more at home than if we were in a hotel. We like having our own space to cook our own meals & to feel we are in a home away from home. Overall positive experience. (read more)

“outstanding location”

Written on: 13/03/2013

Everything was fantastic. Our host was very gracious in outlining and directing us to all the local markets, metro and restaurants. So many great things to do in Barcelona and this was an outstanding location to set off. Your 2 mins from all amenities and 2 subway/Metro stops to the City Center and Ramblas. Great location, excellent beds, showers and very safe! (read more)

“the lovliest host!”

Written on: 23/01/2013

Raimundo was extremely nice! He gave us tips on what to visit in the city and he was very helpful, much better than staying in an hotel room without knowing anybody in town. The apartment and the city are definitely recommended! Booking was easy and fast. (read more)

“Near to perfect experience”

Written on: 30/11/2012

We stayed for 4 nights in Belcanto. The apartment is lovely, really well thought out - perfect for a short stay for a couple. It is located fairly close to Girona Metro or if your up for a bit of walking, well placed for some of the main sights based around central Barcelona. Raimundo, who met us on arrival was really welcoming and gave us lots of information on what to do/see and recommended some restaurants to try out. We slept really well, but needed earplugs, as until the traffic dies... (read more)

“Apartment close to the beach!!”

Written on: 29/10/2012 by bennorman78 (1 review written)

Everything was perfect at the Barcelona Sun apartment booked through cocoon. It gave us a lot of freedom and flexibility to really experience the Barcelona lifestyle. It is just as good as it is in the photos. Our only concern is that the apartment didn't have air conditioning (which we accept was stated at the time of booking). However, due to the design of this top-floor apartment the apartment was at least 5 degrees cooler inside than outside. Lucas which received us gave us local tips... (read more)

“situation centrale dans barcelone”

Written on: 29/09/2012

L'appartement "Holidays born 1" est bien situé, en position centrale dans Barcelone permettant de se déplacer à pied dans la vieille ville, la décoration est de style industriel ; il manque de luminosité du fait de l'étroitesse de la rue. Il est au 3e étage sans ascenseur à ne pas conseiller pour les personnes à mobilité réduite. Le couchage est donné pour 4 personnes mais il est inconfortable pour la 4e, il faudrait le proposer pour 3 personnes ou changer de canapé et en mettre... (read more)

“Nice apartment, excellent location.”

Written on: 27/09/2012 by Ters317

This apartment met all our needs. The location is excellent, close to everything like metro stations, Aerobus to the airport and all of the tourist attractions. We knew it would be noisy, but we wanted to be close to the action in a big city. One suggestion: we only received one set of towels and two and a half toilet rolls for a rental period of nine days...very uncomfortable! We rent apartments all over the world and this is not acceptable. There is a lack of basic items like a small waste... (read more)

Fantastic apartment with the best location - close to metro station, close to good attractions, plenty of places to eat right on your doorstep. Photo's on website matched the apartment. Owner was friendly & helpful - told us where to buy groceries, where attractions were, what was a must to see, etc. Everything was there that we needed except for the manual for the washing machine (but we figured it out eventually) & a chopping board :-) We absolutely loved the apartment & it felt like home...

We arrived in Barcelona Saturday, June 16, 2012 and stayed at the Giovanni at Carrer Cristobal de Moura 38-42, 7-1, 08019 Barcelona. The owner of the apartment, Swietlana, was away with her boyfriend at the beach for the weekend, so her friend, Viktoria, let us into the apartment. Both parties were to meet at the apartment at 3:30 PM, however, Viktoria was over 20 minuts late. The window washer let us into the lobby where sat on the ground waiting. Viktoria quickly walked us around the... (read more)

“Live like the locals”

Written on: 09/06/2012

The appartment is big enough, however the bathroom is little. Closeby the beach, supermarket, restaurants and the metro. No airco but we didn't miss it. It is a real climb to get to the appartment. In the evening there is sometimes noise in the street. In the building is was quiet. The electricity for the washing machine is dangerous. We had a good time and enjoyed our stay. (read more)

“Close to la rambla”

Written on: 09/06/2012

We would like to thank John for his inputs on various things to do in Barcelona (his recommendation of a vegetarian eat out at the local market turned out to be excellent). We had a comfortable stay and flat location was ideal, being a block away from La Rambla, yet very quiet. We would certainly stay in the same place if we visit Barcelona in future. (read more)

“Appartement Born Lovely is een echte aanrader!”

Written on: 25/05/2012 by Lisette (1 review written)

Appartement Born Lovely is een fijn, ruim appartement, gelegen in een van de kleine straatjes bij de Arc de Triomphe. We werden warm en gastvrij onthaald. Ruime hoeveelheid handdoeken, beddengoed, keukenspullen, alles wat we maar konden wensen aan apparatuur was aanwezig! Bakker en supermarkt binnen 100 m van appartement! Gezellige, rustige buurt. Wij - 5 volwassenen en een kind van 1 jaar - voelden ons er vanaf de eerste minuut erg in thuis. Alles was vanaf dit punt heel goed te belopen.... (read more)

It was a very quiet street which was very nice indeed. The Facilities in the Apartment were great and had everything a large group would need. I would definately stay here again!!

The location is great, right in the middle of the old city and near the harbour. The apartment itself is simple but adequate. Although there is a lift, for people who are disabled or have problems with stairs I wouldn't recommend it. You have to take some very narrow and steep stairs, even to reach the first floor.

We are just coming back from our sunny holidays in Barcelona and our experience renting an apartment with Cocoon Barcelona was perfectly fine.

We booked a large apartment for 8 people in the Gracia neighbourhood. This was our first time in Barcelona so we initally wanted to be as close as possible to the Ramblas. But there was no apartment available at that time for our party in that area. And how lucky we were!!!The Ramblas is not recommended for a family trip to Barcelona as during the... (read more)

The Cocoon Barcelona apartment is wonderful however slightly to get there for the first day arrived. I find the apartment is brilliant, near to the beach, near to the supermarket, the house fully equipments, kitchen marvelous etc.

However this is not in the city centre, but the transport is so easy. Buses 14, 41, 59,metro Ciutadella olimpic all were so near to the apartment. It is worth for the price, well recommended !! (read more)

We had a pretty good experience with Cocoonbarcelona. We just got married in Barcelona and had to rent a couple of apartments for family and friends and the staff of Cocoon was very helpful and friendly to help us finding accomodation and even babysitters for the whole group. Cocoon even granted us a special discount. We had to rent several apartments in the Born area as they didnt have a lot of big apartments available, that was the only negative point. We did love the Born Royal... (read more)

Written on: 30/03/2009 by jwktoy

We rented Born Sun in November 08. The amenities that were offered were pretty much as advertised, although it seems like wi-fi is standard in most of the short term rentals and this one did not have it. Our experience was so-so but we had two negative impressions and won't rent from them again. We have never rented an apartment for our trips before so perhaps these are just pitfalls of being a novice. Although they do give the sq meters, the apartment seemed much smaller than appears in the... (read more)

We chose the apartment Limon / playa because we (3 persons) wanted to stay 5 nights in a cheap apartment close to the beach and cook sometimes on our own. Unfortunately, cooking was not possible for us due to the hygienic circumstances in the kitchen. If you just need a room for 3 persons we would recommend the place but if you want to use the kitchen we would rather recommend to choose a higher standard accommodation. The pictures on the internet website give a real image of the apartment... (read more)
