Absolutely top notch
There is nothing missing in this place. Top notch in every way. By far the best airbnb I have ever stayed in. The host (Ventura) was responsive to anything, and left a playbook if you want to see the city and dont know where to start. We have already booked our next visit here. The best place in a great city

Look no further for THE perfect place to stay in Barcelona!
My parents and I were absolutely wowed by this property from the moment we arrived. We were immediately greeted by Ventura, the host, who immediately made us feel like we were at home. He took his time showing us around the home and all its luxurious amenities, which included (but were not limited to) an amazing and well-stocked kitchen, a built-in WiFi-enabled sound system, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, a spa-like soaking tub, and—most of all—the view overlooking one of Gaudi’s masterpieces. The area is perfect for eating, shopping, sightseeing—everything you need is right there. But we simply cannot say enough about Ventura and his hospitality, since he was always on call to answer any and every question we may have had. Most hosts don’t take the kind of time to really make your stay special, but Ventura never ceased to send new restaurant and wine recommendations daily, and we were never disappointed! We stayed in many places on this trip to Europe and this was, by far, our favorite. It simply can’t be beat. Can’t wait to visit again!

If I had to write a list with the most extraordinary guests that have been in THE FORTYSIX, without a doubt, this family would be in my list!!! They are gone and I miss them. Everything was so easy with them, everything so enjoyable. I very ver very very hardly recommend them:)

loved the place
Ventura and “The forty six” helped make our first family trip in May 2018 to Barcelona perfect! First of all Ventura was an excellent “ambassador” for Barcelona. We spoke / texted / Face-Timed numerous times before leaving Toronto for our last minute trip to Barcelona. He was a tremendous help before, during and after our stay at his apartment. He took care of all of our needs. Ventura is very passionate about his apartment and the history that goes with it. Very interesting history. The place was perfect for the five of us. Perfect central location! Subway ( L3) is right there. Some incredible restaurants within 1- 2 blocks for drinks and / or tapas. The “2254 tapas” place was a gem.To be honest we walked everywhere from the apartment.: eg 15 minutes to the middle of the gothic area. Pictures show you exactly what to except. Place is very secure, safe, and amazingly quiet. Only thing I would change was the length of our stay… apartment was fully booked …we booked last minute so had to stay near by for second part of trip. Cannot wait to come back.

The best place to stay in Barcelona
Why? Let me try to list the reasons: -The location can’t be beat. Central with amazing view of a Gaudí masterpiece across the street. As one guide told us, “the most impressive block in Spain”. Proximity to great restaurants, cafes, food stores, tapas, metro and a taxi stand a few steps from your door. -The apartment itself. Clean. Beautiful. Modern. Spacious. Quiet. Fully equipped. Elevator. Doorman, who treated us well as Ventura ‘s guests. Better than website photos. You can even play your own music throughout the apartment on the built in speakers. -The hosts. Ventura provided a full run-down of the area—recommendations on everything you would want to know. He made us feel like he had nothing better to do and enjoyed every minute. He also made it clear that he was available for whatever was needed. He responded quickly to any questions and arranged our transports. They placed fresh flowers and a nice welcome package, including wine. -And, of course,Barcelona. An amazing city that we were only able to scratch the surface of in a week. It is full of so much beauty, art, architecture, history, beaches, walking streets. I have nothing negative to say about our stay, and I am a picky traveler. We look forward to returning to this beautiful town. And, in our opinion, there is only one place to stay—The Fortysix.

Wonderful central location, delightful apartment, helpful landlord.
Right in the centre of town, opposite three Modernist architectural Icons, yet above it all and quiet. Ventura was most helpful and maintains this apartment impeccably. Renters should recognize that there are two large, well furnished, en suite bedrooms and two much smaller bedrooms with a shared bathroom - so, ideal for two couples. In renting this property through Tripadvisor we found the process to be opaque and difficult. Strongly recommend you deal directly with Ventura

AMAZING STAY IN BARCELONA
Our stay at the Forty Six was easy and amazing. After the booking I was contacted quickly and all my questions answered. Upon arrival, we met the owner, Ventura, who gave us recommendations on everything and answered all our questions. Throughout our stay, we were able to easily reach Ventura with any questions. The apartment itself is beautiful and in the best possible location you could imagine in Barcelona, just steps from a Metro station and on the most amazing street, across from the famous Casa Battlo. The pictures you see on the website are very accurate to what you find. The apartment is huge, modern and beautiful. I highly recommend staying here, you will not be disappointed!

Perfect in every way!
I can't say enough good things about this apartment and our entire experience. The location was spectacular, we were able to walk to every major attraction and had the pleasure of staring right at Casa Batllo right from the window! The apartment itself was beautiful, spacious, comfortable and had absolutely every amenity one could think of! The owner, Ventura, was amazing and he was at our disposal the entire trip. He made taxi reservations for us, gave us restaurant and sightseeing recommendations. We felt totally taken care of. This was our first family trip to Barcelona (we traveled with our 3 kids, ages 17, 14, 12) and thanks to this apartment and Ventura, it was one of the best vacations we have ever had. I HIGHLY recommend this apartment.

Whatever you need, you will find it exactly in this apartment.
This is a really really luxurious apartment in the heart of Barcelona. The pictures show you exactly what it is like to be there: clean, relaxing, well equipped and everything is high standard. If we ever needed something, the host was reachable for us. And he helped us out concerning transport, food recommendation, catering, attractions. But most of all he was easy going and friendly. I could ask him for anything, he managed it for us. The FOURTY SIX is a definite recommendation for a stay in Barcelona!

Perfect!
This was the perfect apartment, in the best location in Barcelona. I had no idea when booking that we would be so central to everything and on such a convenient and historic avenue (The Block of Discord). Waking up every morning and seeing the Casa Batillo (one of Gaudi's works) was such a joy. In the evening we could look out and see it lit up. We could walk to La Rambla, The Barri Gotic, The Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera and Plaza Catalunya. There are countless shops, bakeries, restaurants and cafes within walking distance. The apartment itself is not only brand new, it is thoughtfully designed (the decor is modern, bright and right on trend) with everything one would need. It is obvious this apartment was built to meticulous standards of architecture and interior design. It was truly a treat to just look at the rooms, the amazing light fixtures, the furniture. The master bedrooms were spacious, and the bathrooms were as well. The two smaller bedrooms were a bit tight but fine for children. The kitchen has everything one would need (enough dishware to host a party of 20!) and the living areas were large and can accommodate a large family. We felt right at home (especially with the Nespresso machine!) The owner and the manager were very friendly and accommodating. We have rented several apartments around the world and this was by far the best ever!

Absolutely amazing apt., all renovated, totally stocked & no detail forgotten
Wow, wow, wow. Great location with cafes and shops right out the door on beautiful place Gracia and metro just across the street. Brand new furniture, beds and everything you could need in the kitchen (not that we cooked-but you certainly could!) Showers were enormous with great water pressure even when all three were in use. Super soft towels and fluffy robes were placed for all 4 grownups. The owner stocked the kitchen like a 5 star hotel with nespresso pods, coffee creamers, jam, biscuits, tea, coke, beer, water and beautiful welcome treats. Both bedrooms are more than "masters" - perfect for 2 couples traveling with kids or grandparents, extended family etc.-no one feels like they're getting the less nice room. There are automatic shutters that make it so dark, you have to set an alarm or risk sleeping really late. Even though its right on Gracia and it can be a little loud if the windows are open, it it totally quite with the double paned windows. There's also AC in every room that can be individually controlled. There are bluetooth music speakers so you can have music from your phone and state of the art electricity system where you hit one button when you walk out the door and it shuts all the lights out. The two kids bedrooms are quite tight (two twin beds each in a perpendicular arrangement) and no place to hang clothes but had drawer space so it worked fine for us. I can't emphasize enough how everything is just perfect and very high end. The owner was extremely enthusiastic, helpful and responsive to any questions and delighted in showing us all the details. The only downside was the booking process was a bit convoluted with various agencies/contacts and a very inconvenient payment process (other than the initial payment by CC which was great). Since we were the first guests to stay here I believe they will sort the payment process out and add a welcome manual with local grocery, restaurant recommendations, etc. which will make it even more perfect. I am a VRBO owner and am very picky about every detail and I just can't describe what a wonderful experience this was. The owner also had brochures for all the sights, art books, guide books, umbrellas, safety waist packs, first aid kit, beautiful bathroom lotions, cottons pads, and the list goes on. I would definitely recommend this unparalleled property.

Dear Laura. You and your family were the first persons that slept in THE FORTYSIX. I appreciate all your commentaries. You put me in the foot. I mean that illusion to do my best from the first day still continues. And of course I have "polished" the booking process. Now is totally direct and straightforward. A big hug. Ventura & Nuria
