I have a long review for the Acta Laumon, but please bear with me. It started when British Airways lost our luggage. We flew in 4 days before our cruise from Barcelona, and I'd reserved the Acta Laumon not knowing much about the area, only that it had a three bedroom two bath apartment that would suit our family of 4 adults and a 7 year old. The Sagrera neighborhood was nowhere near most tourist attractions, so it was an iffy decision. It turned out to be an amazing familial area with great dining a couple of blocks away, and a great store where we were able to buy clothes and food nearby. The neighborhood was active with lots of regular families and and dog walkers. I felt safe and was able to watch and participate in real Barcelona life. We made friends with the pharmacist on the corner (never leave your meds in checked luggage) and the hotel staff was beyond amazing. We were in constant contact and they helped us through and even contacted the airline on our behalf every day. We ended up getting our luggage about 8 hours before the cruise started. It was a blessing in disguise. We didn't just stay in Barcelona, we lived there for a few days and the neighborhood was just amazing. I would absolutely recommend Acta Laumon as highly as any 5 star hotel in Barcelona. It's hard to overstate how much they helped us and how great the neighborhood was.
