You-Stylish
apartment and service quality
Obviously, quite frankly, we came to
Barcelona to celebrate our very own immature Super Sweet Sixteen Redneck Rampage Party @Ramblas. Despite our honorable intention, we felt it was essential to have a quality accommodation in walking distance to all major attractions. Overall, the
apartment was exactly what we were hoping for. We can absolutely recommend it to a wide variety of sophisticated guests. To adapt the marketing slogan of a fast food company the
apartment was simply ‘window licking good’. The light at the end of the tunnel was just a sign that the fridge was getting empty. We were devastated when we had to leave after only three days.
For the You-Stylish.com service, especially the individual support and the competence of our friendly check-in agent Saras must be emphasized positively, thus making it obviously very difficult to find a comparable accommodation. We were utterly impressed with the professional and helpful assistance you gave us throughout the whole stay (shuttle bus, local restaurants, advice…). In addition, it was a pleasure to listen to your perfect English, so communication was not an issue at all.
A stylish
apartment is nothing without a stylish and professional contact person. The service process was flawless, fast and absolutely wonderful. Saras, it was a pleasure to meet you!
Nightlife –
Barcelona from a touristic viewpoint
On a socio-cultural and touristic level, you will be treated very friendly from the locals. I personally never felt like it’s a dangerous place and there was no situation where someone was unfriendly with us.
Barcelona offers different cultures, lifestyles and tourists are an important factor for the identity of the city. In this regard,
Barcelona is a great place for being a nerdy tourist! It’s a big party all the time if you are asking for it. You won’t need Rafael Nadal’s biceps or Carles Puyol’s dead hairstylist to make friends.
It’s more the awareness that is needed to identify the ‘costs’ of being part of a touristic community, as well as the strategies that you can use to either strengthen the ties to other tourist groups (preferably from other countries) or strike a balance between being part of, yet distinct from, the touristic community.
Catalans are proud people, but they are not complicated. We made a lot of friends in a very short period of time. It’s worth to celebrate and respect each individual identity (an open mind is helpful). People will show you a different side of the city (far away from the mass-tourism approach) and it’s easier to gain access to certain clubs when you are with locals. Consecutively,
Barcelona is a big candy shop and it’s impossible to see everything. You definitely will want to have some help. As a result, I think it is important for tourists to find ways to combine and leverage their different experiences, thus motivating this personal review.
Quintessence therefore: I’ll be back! Well, probably more as a traditional visitor next time. Nevertheless, it’s fantastic to enjoy some quality-time in one of the stylish apartments, when you need a little break from the cultural orgy the city offers. A permanent stay at one of the luxurious
apartments in the heart of colorful
Barcelona should be the steadfast pursuit for everyone :-)
