The Fortysix was a perfect place to stay in Barcelona. The location is perfect with transportation, markets, shopping and restaurants right outside the door.The view of casa ballto from the main room and balcony is amazing.Everything in the apartment is top end and worked perfectly. There was a heat wave during our stay and the air conditioning worked great.Ventura is also a wonderful host. He greeted us on our arrival, explained the functions of the apartment and gave us great recommendations for bars, dining and local excursions. He checked up on us during our stay to make sure we were doing okay and was available for any questions. By far he was the best host of any VRBO that I have stayed.I highly recommend this property and will definitely stay here again when I return to Barcelona.

AMAZING!! As a seasoned traveler, I can honestly say that this was one of our top stays when renting an apartment. Before arriving, and throughout our stay, Ventura was readily available for communications. The apartment is top notch and they think of every little detail to make it comfortable and welcoming (coffee, tea, wine, chocolates and much more)! Ventura greeted us at the apartment at check in, explained how everything worked in the apartment and shared his wealth of knowledge on the area (where to eat, where to visit, transportation). His recommendations were all spot on. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone thinking of visiting Barcelona.

46 is a luxury apartment centrally located in the best area in Barcelona. We really enjoyed meeting Ventura and his tour of their lovely place. It had been a long journey for our family and it was such a thoughtful surprise to have so many wonderful snacks, coffee and cold beverages waiting for us upon arrival! The home exceeded our expectations in every way- lovely bedding, spacious rooms, beautiful views, room to spread out (family of 5). The concierge service recommended was efficient and helped us with transfers and tours. Ventura also recommended restaurants, delicious, some of our favorite meals! The location of 46 is fantastic, very safe and close to everything!! We loved Barcelona and hope we have the opportunity to return and stay at 46! Gracias por todo!

We were a group of 6 ranging in age from 62 to 88 and it was perfect for us. A real bonus was the responsiveness of our hosts. We all enjoyed Ventura’s introductory comments and the history of the apartment itself. His recommendations for restaurants were excellent.I only wish we were staying longer.

Outstanding on EVERY dimension!!!!!!
Our stay at this Barcelona apartment was truly exceptional. The property is absolutely amazing - elegant in design while still being incredibly comfortable. Every detail showcases top quality throughout, from the furnishings to the amenities. The building was designed by the host Ventura's (great?) grandfather, who was a friend of Gaudí. The location is on Passeig de Gràcia, the most elegant and grand street of the city, with a direct gorgeous view of Casa Batlló across the street. It's within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and sights. The superlative VRBO listing description is 100% accurate, and yet the place has positive surprises.Our experience was made complete by our amazing host, Ventura, who ensured our stay was perfect from beginning to end. He went above and beyond by recommending fantastic local restaurants and activities that enhanced our experience of the city. His thoughtful suggestions helped us discover hidden gems we might have otherwise missed, including the Palau de la Música.What's remarkable is that we would actually return to Barcelona because of how wonderful this apartment and host were, not just because Barcelona itself is such a magnificent city. The accommodation became a highlight of our trip rather than just a place to sleep.

Best in Barcelona
We had an amazing stay in Barcelona at this property. Communication with the owner was great in all aspects of our stay. The owner greeted us as we arrived and spent 30 minutes or more describing the property, where to go, and how he could help. No one has ever done that before and it should be a best practice. The pictures match perfectly, everything works great, and the location is #1! Everything Ventura recommends is a wonderful experience! When I return to Barcelona, I will only stay here.

Beautiful Barcelona
The Forth-Six
This is by far the most well appointed apartment we have ever stayed in. Ventura is also the best host we have ever had the pleasure of working with. We started the search for our one month stay in Barcelona a year in advance. All of my questions were responded to in a very timely manner, even with the time zone difference. He provided a wealth of information to us once we arrived thru WhatsApp: restaurants, coffee shops, where to purchase best wine selection, how to get places, and what we should make an effort to see.
The location cannot be beat; we walked most everywhere we wanted to go and the taxi stand is very close by which will connect you with the rail or bus stations. You are steps away from a transit station as well.
There are plenty of glasses, dishes, silverware, every size of wine glass for a large group. We ranged from 4-7 guests during our stay. The kitchen is a chefs dream for preparing a stay at home meal.
Cleanings are arranged weekly and everything is replenished and new towels and linens. Everything you need is here upon arrival: laundry detergent, dishwashing tablets, hand and shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, hairdryer, even 3 outlet convertors, umbrellas. When you return from your day to the apartment that has been freshly cleaned, you know it has been well done! Did I mention fresh flowers throughout?!
There are black out blinds in the bedrooms and living room, and individually controlled heat and AC in every room.

Stunning, iconic apartment with lovely history
The apartment was absolutely stunning, very spacious, and comfortable for my family and me. It was well-equipped and we had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The hosts take a lot of pride in this beautiful apartment, and rightfully so. The history of the apt and view of Casa Batllo makes the stay extra romantic.
I would note that the list price is for a four bedroom, but only two people. Which is odd. They charged extra for my kids and parents, even though we were well under the maximum number of people that could comfortably sleep in the apt. This has never happened to me in all my luxury VRBO rentals, so the last minute change (which was substantial), greatly surprised me. I think the price should be transparent from the beginning. And not more if you have more than 2 guest in a 4 bedroom apartment.
Despite that, our experience was amazing and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone staying in Barcelona and wanting a gorgeous home base while being able to walk to shops, restaurants, and Gaudi houses. The hosts are welcoming (we had a great introduction to the apt) and the property is very well managed.
