Flats

  • Are your flats centrally located?
    We have flats in the most central locations in Barcelona and also in the most exclusive areas. The city's excellent public transportation system means even the quietest residential areas are connected to the center in just a few minutes.
  • Which location do you recommend?
    It depends on what you'd like to do. For short visits, especially if you're into museums and medieval charm or people-watching on La Rambla then you might like the Ciutat Vella - Raval, Born and Gothic Quarter. If you're on business, the Eixample and Zona Alta are the main business districts. Stay in a Flat here to be near your office or your clients; these are also good areas for shopping and health clinics.
  • How many people can share one Flat?
    Each flat has its maximum occupancy, which you can see on its Description.
  • Do all your flats have a lift?
    As a general rule, all our flats have a lift/elevator; however, we have included some apartments without lifts in Barcelona's Old Town (Raval, Gothic Quarter, Born), because they are very, very attractive.
  • May I bring a pet?
    Please let us know in advance for permission; otherwise, we will be pleased to arrange pet-sitting during your stay in Barcelona.
  • Do you provide fresh towels, soap and linens?
    Yes, and much more, too. All the apartments we offer undergo thorough cleaning and all linens are changed in advance of every arrival. For longer stays, housekeeping once a week will change towels, soap and linens, and provide maid service at many apartments.
  • Are the Flats adapted for the handicapped?
    We would be happy to answer your specific needs. Please contact us.
  • Are the Flats safe?
    All of our locations are central and secure. Obviously, in Barcelona, as in any large city anywhere, you should exercise normal precautions. Please, have a look at our helpful Safety Tips.

Charges

  • Is the price per person or per apartment?
    The price is per apartment, not per person; nevertheless, the final price may vary according to the number of people staying.
  • What happens if I break something?
    Call your apartment's Contact Person or the bizFlats Office as soon as possible to assess the damage and reach a decision whether any charge is incurred. Special attention to fix or replace the item(s) ASAP will be undertaken by the apartment manager.
  • What is included in the final cleaning fee?
    It is a fixed, obligatory and one-time payment that does not depend on the duration of the stay and which covers the cleaning and laundry service after departure of each client. Each apartment has its own final cleaning fee depending on its features.
  • Do you charge any seasonal supplements?
    The nightly rates depend on the season or holiday period. The easiest way to find the price of your stay is to use the powerful availability search function "Search for Available Properties" on top of every page. The search results will give you the full price of your stay with all costs and taxes included.
  • Are there any additional charges?
    No, there are no hidden charges or additional costs. See next question.
  • How do you calculate the total cost of my stay?
    The total cost of your stay consists of apartment rental, final cleaning and taxes, minus any discounts. The detail is shown on the booking form when you make your online booking.
