Apartments

This type of accommodation is becoming very popular in Barcelona. It's especially good for families or groups of three or more people.

The main advantage of staying in an apartment rather than in a hotel is that you always have access to a kitchen and refrigerator and you can also save money by cooking your own food. An apartment is perfect if you stay in Barcelona for a few days.
