We were with our family, 2 teenage girls. We all had a great time. The apartment was as luxe as was told. In the middle of Barcelona, near Plaza Catalunya, metro, etc. Two terasses, so always a quiet or sunny place. Jacuzzi for the evening! Good beds, one single bed was put extra, because there were two doublebeds. Our compliments also to the staf of pillow apartments, as well as the owner of the apartment. Fridge was filled with drinks and at the table some cookies and chips were served. Service was super. Thanks for a great time!

Stayed for three nights. Uncomplicated check-in outside of the normal check-in-period at 3 PM. We were met by a pleasant young man who ran through the main features of the apartment with us. Beds were comfy, and all equipment worked, with the exception of a lamp-shade on one of the bedside lamps. It fell off at first touch! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and I can truly recommend the apartment. The kids loved it too!

This was an amazing apartment! We were 2 families with little babies, so we only booked for 2 nights, not knowing if it would be in each other's way too much. Knowing what the apartment is like now, we should have stayed for longer! Great location, very neat furniture, everything you need is there... even a tumble dryer! All at a fair price. If i ever go to barcelona again i would stay at the same place.

My wife and I and our two adult children stayed in the two room apartment in the Pantheon area during our stay in Rome. One of the reasons we chose this property was because it was located next to the pantheon , few minutes walk from Campo dei Fiori, Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain and the Trastevere. We used the same agency in other travels (Barcelona) and we liked the high level of the properties and the good service given by the staff (the gentleman who let us in was incredibly helpfull and patient !) . We would reccomend the pantheon apartment to those who want to be in a foreign and magical city like Romehaving alkl the comforts of your own house--- and that's difficult sometimes ! We will use pillow rome service again. Keep on the good work guys !

My wife and I and our two adult children stayed in a two bedroom property next to the main Park in Barcelona, in the Borne area. One of the reasons we chose this property was because it was we used the same agency in Rome and also because it was located close enough to Ramblas and interesting sites we wanted to visit. The apartment was modern with design furniture and really liked the new bedding and the explanations given by the gentleman who was waiting for our arrival. Apartment Clean and very well maintained, quite and perfectly equipped. A good experience overall and would have no hesitation to go back and to reccomend to my family and friends.

Nice, nice, very nice: The Barcelona Terrace apartment was very quiet -on the top floor- a very large living room with great views and a small terrace. There is a lot of natural light as the apartment is on the top floor and only the living room itself has huge windows. And veiw of Barcelona from the top Terrace : simply Amazing. The apartment is well maintained and was very clean when we checked in. The location of Barceloneta Borne is perfect since it is few blocks from the Beach, ten minutes from good restaurants and Hotel Arts, few minutes from las Ramblas and the Gothic quarter . The kitchen has all the necessary utensils to Cook, also microwave oven and a dryer (never seen it in Europe!). The staff of the agency was very helpful before we booked -e-mails were answered promptly the same day- and after we booked for the additional requests we had (airport transfer and baby cot) . We also booked their pick up service from the airport and everything was handled in a very professional way, also by the driver. Price was average for the Season but compared to Hotel rates was much more convenient.

We booked this Borne apartment following the suggestion of friends that had been there two years ago. They was enthusiastic about the apartment, the location, the price and servise received by the staff. For this reason we were quite relaxed when we booked it and when we arrived we had no surprises. It's true that the apartment is really comfortable .We took lots of pics of the apartment and showed them to friends when we went back home and they were all very impressed. The place is quiet, with good natural light and well kept. A place we would recommend with no hesitations.

Rented an apartment in Barcelona with Pillowapartments last week 17 february 2011, for 3 GSM world mobile trade fair. The apartment was booked direclty through the website of pillowapartments.com. Never seen the place before, chose the apartment for me and my collegues through te pictures and location. Clean, comfortable, check in staff always on time, helpfull in replying our questions by email before our arrival and later on the phone while in Barcelona. The apartment itself was very central as promised, clean. Coffe machine was missing but delivered the same day of our arrival. Good quality beds and linens, apartment full of light, definetly will use them again when going to Barcerlona.

We rented through pillow apartment las summer 2010. The apartment was beautiful, well taken care of, in the heart of the city, and exactly as shown in the pictures. Staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. He gave us maps of the city and shared an overview of key places to visit, answered all our questions and arranged for taxis (with car seat) for our return ride to the airport. Overall a fantastic experience! We will rent here again!

I just wanted to add my very recent (1 weeks ago) positive experience of pillow apartments.
We were a family of 4 (dad 75, two 40 something siblings, one teens 11 years) and stayed in the Barceloneta terrace for 6 nights 1 - 7 September 2010.
It is a great apartment - "luxurious" , spotlessly clean, very comfortable.
I dealt directly with staff from Pillow Apartments and always had a quick reply before booking and also after the reservation was made.
During the course of my booking the apartment I phoned the office a couple of times and thaey were really helpful.
We arrived to the apartment on a Sunday morning straight off a 24hr flight from Sydney and check in responsibl met us promptly at 10am (which was the agreed time) and was kind, professional and helpful.
I would recommend them as an agency and also recommend the 'Barceloneta terrace' apartment forthos who like being in Barcelona with a sea view.

We rented this one bedroom apartment through pillowapartments.com:
http://www.pillowapartments.com/apartments_barcelona/apartments.aspx?pillowid=42
for 5 nights in June 2010. It was spacious, clean, well located near the beach, and quiet. These were my top priorities. The keyholder met us as agreed...no problem. It did have DSL internet connection and DVD player as described. closets were spacious and clean. No problems whatsoever, reccomended

Just came bach From Barcelona, we rented an apartment through www.pillowapartments.com. Location was great, the apartment clean, the check in guy was very usefull in giving the information we needed since it was our first time in the city. This is the second time we use this agency and we never had suprises: they always replied our emails promptly, always met the check in staff on time at the apartment, security deposit was always returned with no troubles. they are several agencies in Barcelona but we fee comfortable in renting with them. From my own experience I would suggest the apartments they have in the Borne and the Ramblas area (even if central they are quite and spacious)...

We got a very romantic apartment perched above the little streets of Gothic quarte with this company, and for only 75 euro a night. It was cheaper than a hotel or hostal and much better, because there are no hotels to speak of in this fabulously relaxed district. Wooden ceiling, big Windows, great rooftop balcony and all the pavement restaurants below a short stumble away. It absolutely made the Holiday, reccomended.

I've used Pillowapartments with great success on 3 trips to Barcelona. On our first 2 trips we were met at the property by a representative from the agency. On our third trip we were met by the owner of the apartment. We had very good experiences at all the apartments and I can highly recommend Pillow apartments.
The wwww.pillowapartments.com site is easy to navigate and makes booking easy and instantaneous. Furthermore, I'm impressed with the comments section on the site. It appears that agency is very honest about allowing clients to post critical reviews as well as glowing ones.
On our trips we only had one thing go wrong (at our 1st apartment)... the cleaning staff didn't leave enough fresh towels... but a call to the agency fixed that problem while we were out exploring Barcelona.

Instead of a boutique hotel, my wife found www.pillowapartments.com where we rented a cool private flat, overlooking the port. We had our baby daughter and it was great, so much more comfortable and quaint than any hotel (and cheaper). Owner is cool, some Italian gay guy who runs the business really well. Great for dinner tips too! Very happy, see other comments I posted. Bad points, None really. The towels were too new actually, so had a few of those hairs coming off them, but that all, otherwise really amazingly furnished (and wifi too!).
