Lauren is from Dallas, TX. She takes care of reservations. Rebecca, Lauren's sister, currently handles reservations and email as well. Marcela greets and Ferran does most maintenance in Barcelona. Ivan works in our copy store/ office /business center in the ground floor of the building in Valencia St. Elif takes care of the apartments and your stays in Istanbul
Reservation procedure
    The reservation procedure is:
  1. Check the availability of the unit you want to rent. We keep the availability calendars up-to-date, or you can fill in the green 'check availability' bar on top of our webpage. Or, if you prefer, email us, or fill the form.
  2. Check the price of the unit you want to rent. You can fill in the dates and number of people on the green 'Check Availability" bar to see the prices displayed for every apartment. Or have a look at our pricing table . Use email, or the form on the main page to confirm the prices.
  3. When you know availability and pricing, and in order to book, we ask for a 25% of the total as a reservation deposit. You can pay through paypal.com, which accepts credit cards, or by other means, such as bank transfer or Western Union. If you are not paying with paypal (which notifies us instantly of payments made), we ask that you notify us when you make the payment and reservation, so we can take the apartment off the market for your dates. You will as well need to ask us for the bank transfer information
  4. We will be sending you receipt of payment and arrival instructions at this point.
  5. When you know at what time of the day you will be arriving at the apartment or at the airport, please let us know. We will be meeting you at the apartment with your keys, or we will provide you with self-check-in instructions.
Cancellation policy
Our cancellation policy (for short term reservations of one apartment) is: We return your 25% deposit minus 50 EUR for cancellations up to 4 weeks prior to the scheduled arrival date. We keep the reservation amount if less than 4 weeks.
You can also ask us to keep your whole reservation deposit to apply to a future stay. For our cancellation policy for long stays or multiple apartments, please ask.
Question: Where can we PARK a car and for how much?
A: We do not recommend renting a car to see the city, because the distances are usually very short and having a car is more of a hassle than it's worth. If you would like to take a day trip you can rent it for a day or two and keep it in a guarded parking garage very close to the apartment. They charge about 25 EUR per day in a parking garage very close to Valencia Street apartments. There is another parking garage near Portal Nou apartments that charge a similar amount.

Question: How do we get to the apartment from the airport?
A: The fastest and easiest way to get to the apartment from the airport is to take a taxi. It costs about 30 EUR and only takes about 30 minutes.
  • For Valencia Street Apartments: You could also take the Aerobus from the airport to Plaza Catalunya (which costs about 4 EUR per person), then walk one block to Plaza Urquinaona and take the yellow subway line 3 stops to Verdaguer. Exit the subway and walk across the Diagona Av. to Valencia St., the first street after it, and the apartment building is number 366. This will probably take a little over an hour.
  • For Valencia Street Apartments: If you take the train from the airport, it will take you to Sants Estació, and from there just take the blue subway line 4 stops to Verdaguer. Use the 'Bailen' exit when you leave the subway, walk down Bailen, cross the Diagonal, and Valencia is the first street after it. Cross Valencia, and walk toward Passeig St. Joan. The building (366) will be on your right. This could take an hour and a half or more, because the train only leaves every thirty minutes.

    • Question: Do the apartments have a TELEPHONE?
    A: There are no fixed phones at the apartments, but we can provide you with a cellphone that allows for prepaid calls, please ask for details and request in advance. Or you can call from one of the 'locutorios', stores that specialize in selling long-distance calls. Or you can rent a cellphone from other sources, or purchase your own.

    Question: Do the apartments have a fully equipped KITCHEN?
    A: All of our apartments have a fully equipped kitchen, with refrigerator, oven, 4 gas or electric burners, dishware, silverware and cookware, microwave oven and of course sink. We provide all of the essentials.

    Question: Do the apartments have CABLE or SATELLITE TV?
    A: Apartments Terrace1 and Terrace2 have satellite TV with some news channels in English (BBC, CNN ...) Otherwise we do have just the local channels. Most apartments have multi-region DVD players, plus a few DVDs.
    Question: Do the apartments have a DRYER?
    A: All apartments have either washer and dryer or a combination washer/dryer machine, except for TopFloor which only has a washing machine and cloth hanging rack.

    Question: Can the apartments be seen in advance?
    A: The apartments of course can be seen in advance, as long as the one you want to see is not booked for the dates when you would like to see it.

    Question: Do you have a reduced rate for LONG STAYS?
    A: We do offer reduced prices for long stays. The prices will depend on when you want the apartment and for how long. For instance: 12% off for 7 nights, 20% off for 14 nights, 30% off for 1 month. Please consult.
