Spain's HOTTEST Habitat Apartments: Cool Jazz Vibes Await!
Habitat Apartments: Cool Jazz Vibes Await! – My Brain Dump on Spain's HOTTEST Spot
Okay, buckle up, because I'm about to tell you everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, about Habitat Apartments: Cool Jazz Vibes Await! Seriously, like, the good, the bad, the slightly off-key… because that's how life is, right? And this place… well, it's a vibe. Let's dive in, shall we?
Accessibility (or, Navigating This Place Like a Boss)
First things first: accessibility. They say they care, and they seem to. (I'm always skeptical, ya know? Been burned before.) Wheelchair accessible – check, but I gotta be honest: I didn't personally test the entire property with a chair. However, they’re supposed to have it, and I saw the elevator, which is a massive win already. Fingers crossed it's actually helpful if you need it inside the rooms!
Inside the Rooms & All That Jazz
Okay, let's get real. The rooms. They're basically apartments, which is fantastic if you hate hotel rooms as much as me. Like, hello, Air conditioning? Internet access – wireless, Internet access – LAN? Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (and you need that sweet, sweet Wi-Fi in this life) – Yes, yes, and yes! Score! You get that comfy home-away-from-home feeling with Linens, Bathrobes, Slippers, and all that jazz, and if you're a weirdo like me, you can order On-demand movies.
But listen, I had a minor issue. The Blackout curtains? Not quite the superhero I needed! I'm that person who needs complete darkness, so be prepared for some early morning sun peeking through unless you're a heavy sleeper.
The Amenities That Make You Feel Fancy
- Pool with view: Okay, this deserves its own paragraph, because seriously! Pool with a bloody view! Picture it: a cocktail, the Spanish sun (or a rainy day, if you're unlucky, like I was), and an infinity pool overlooking… well, I’m not good with directions, but it looked amazing. I even saw a couple of cute squirrels.
- Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom: Okay, spa-philes, you're in heaven. It’s a real treat.
- Fitness Center: Let's be honest, I just looked at the fitness center. I'm more of a "walk to the bar" kind of person. But hey, it's there if you're feeling virtuous.
- Massage: Yes. I got a massage. It was good. Highly recommend.
- Foot bath: I didn't try it. I'd feel weird having someone clean my feet.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – My Personal Report
Okay, so about the food. They’ve got options galore. A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Breakfast [buffet], Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Snack bar, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant.
- Breakfast [buffet]: The breakfast buffet was…fine, I'm gonna be honest. A bit standard. But hey, the Coffee/tea in restaurant was good!
- The Poolside bar: This is where it’s at! Order a cocktail next to the pool, perfect.
- Room service [24-hour]: Bless. Late-night munchies? Sorted.
- Snack bar: I was always hungry.
Cleanliness and Safety – Because Right Now That Matters
They seem to be taking things seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment. Listen, it felt safe. I was always conscious of what was going on. I felt relieved.
Services and…Stuff (aka, the Convenience Factor)
They had the usual suspects: Air conditioning in public area, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Gift/souvenir shop, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events and more. The concierge was helpful. I'm terrible at planning, and they helped me out.
For the Kids:
They say they are Family/child friendly, but I didn't see any kids.
Getting Around:
They offer Airport transfer and Taxi service: They're great, but sometimes the ride is costly. If you are on a budget, consider public transport or getting a local bus.
The Quirks (and What Makes It Cool)
- Cool Jazz Vibes: Okay, so they really lean into the jazz theme. Music everywhere! The lobby especially. I love jazz, so I was in my element. If you hate jazz, maybe this isn't the place for you.
- The People: The staff was wonderful and nice and wanted to help. I felt like I was in good hands.
- The Vibe: It's not a stuffy, corporate hotel. It's got a laid-back, cool vibe. You can actually relax here.
- The Location: Okay, I’m not sharing this for fear of my spot being ruined, but the location is amazing, a couple of minutes from central places.
The Imperfections (Because Perfection Doesn’t Exist)
- Noise: The jazz music downstairs? Yes, I could hear it in my room. Slightly. So, book a higher floor if you’re sensitive.
- The View (or Lack Thereof): My room didn't have the best view. I didn’t make a fuss.
My Verdict: Is This Place Worth It?
Absolutely. Especially if you appreciate a good vibe and a slightly offbeat experience. It's comfy, clean, and well-located, and the jazz? Well, that’s just icing on the cake (which you can probably get in the dessert bar!).
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars. (Just docked half a star for the iffy blackout curtains. I'm a princess, what can I say?)

Okay, buckle up, buttercup. This isn't your perfectly curated travel brochure. This is the real deal. My "Habitat Apartments Cool Jazz Spain" adventure, as it unfurled, warts and all…
The Itinerary (or, a Rough Approximation of What Happened)
Day 1: Arrival & Glorious, Glorious Paella - Barcelona, Baby!
- Early Morning (because jet lag is a cruel mistress): Landed in Barcelona. The air? Humid, thick with the promise of a good time. Passport control? Painful. Got asked way too many questions about my "purpose" in Spain, which was, let's be honest, "paella and tapas, mostly."
- Finding the Habitat Apartments (or, the Great Navigation Struggle): Okay, Google Maps…you lied. The apartment, which looked dreamy online, was down a narrow, cobblestone street that I swear swallowed my suitcase whole. But hey, got there alive. The check-in lady? Gave me a look that said, "You tourists." I'm sure the apartment was great, I just threw my bags on the floor and collapsed.
- Afternoon: Paella Pilgrimage: Found a place near the beach (after accidentally walking into a lingerie shop – don't ask). The paella? OH. MY. GOD. The rice was perfectly plump, the saffron a sunbeam on my plate. I swear, I closed my eyes and just felt the joy. My initial reaction was to order two more, then I remembered I hadn't eaten for like, 18 hours.
- Evening: Ramblas Ramble (& Regret): Okay, La Rambla. Beautiful, bustling, a sensory overload of flowers, buskers, and…pickpockets. I know, I know, everyone warned me. But I got swept up in the moment, bought a ridiculously overpriced flower from a man with a dazzling smile, and almost got my camera snatched. Lesson learned: keep your wits about you, even when surrounded by beauty. Spent the rest of the evening with a tense hand on my purse and an ice cream that melted faster than my resolve to be sensible.
Day 2: Gaudí's Genius & A Slight Existential Crisis
- Morning: Sagrada Família - Where My Jaw Almost Dislocated: Okay, the Sagrada Família. Pictures just don't do it justice. I stood there, mouth agape, for a solid 10 minutes. It's overwhelming, intricate, and absolutely freakin' amazing. I spent the next hour wandering around like a dazed squirrel, just soaking it all in.
- Mid-Morning: Park Güell - The "Weird but Wonderful" Zone: Quirky. That's the best word for it. The mosaics glittered under the sun. The architecture? Gaudí's imagination ran wild. The crowds? They were a thing. It was beautiful, but also a bit like being in a very pretty, very slow-moving cattle herd. I found a quiet corner and just people-watched for a while. Saw a toddler throw a tantrum, an elderly couple holding hands, and a guy who insisted on taking selfies with absolutely everything.
- Afternoon: Gothic Quarter - Lost & Found (and Lost Again): So many narrow streets! So many dead ends! I wandered around the Gothic Quarter for like, four hours, utterly lost. Which, honestly, was kind of the point. I stumbled upon hidden plazas, stumbled into a tiny artisan bakery, and got utterly, gloriously lost in the labyrinthine streets. Found the perfect spot to people-watch and had the best coffee of my life.
- Evening: Tapas Tour & An Unnecessary Amount of Sangria: Had a tapas tour. Ate too much, drank too much sangria, and laughed so hard my face hurt. Fell into a conversation with these two guys from, like, Iowa. Shared a table with a couple who were on their honeymoon, told bad jokes, and somehow ended up back at the apartment at like 3 AM.
Day 3: Barcelona's Beach & Farewell (Maybe?)
- Morning: Beach Daze (or, the Sand-in-Everything Era): Hit the beach. Barcelona's beach is OK. The sand was hot, the sun was ferocious, and I probably got a little too much sun. Spent the morning just lounging, watching people, and generally feeling lazy. I even tried to read but passed out after a few pages.
- Afternoon: Cooking Class (and near-disaster). I went to a cooking class. I can not cook, so this was bound to be fun. We were making paella, again! I was going to ruin it, I felt it in my bones, and sure enough, I somehow set the rice on fire. The chef was a very patient woman. It was messy, and great fun.
- Evening: Cool Jazz and a Bittersweet Goodbye: Headed back to the habitat apartments. The apartment was great, the location was perfect. But, I felt sad. This was my last night in Barcelona. I went to a jazz club. The music was fantastic, the atmosphere was electric, and I got hit on by a man with a surprisingly charming mustache. The jazz, especially during this solo, was the best I'd ever heard. It was a beautiful end to a beautiful trip.
The Little Things That Made it Messy and Wonderful:
- The Language Barrier: Attempting Spanish was a glorious disaster. I mostly relied on pointing, gesturing, and the occasional confused "Por favor?"
- The Food: Every single meal was a celebration. Even the questionable kebab I ate at 3 AM was delicious.
- The People: A kaleidoscope of humanity. From the grumpy shopkeepers that thought I was an idiot to the incredibly kind strangers who helped me navigate the metro.
- The Imperfections: Lost maps, sunburned noses, and moments of sheer, unadulterated chaos. They were all part of the adventure.
The Emotional Aftermath:
I left Barcelona with a full stomach, a slightly lighter wallet, and my camera full of memories. I'm pretty sure I left a piece of my heart somewhere in the Gothic Quarter. I'm already plotting my return. Screw the perfectly planned itinerary; I'm just going to go and get gloriously lost again. Adios, Barcelona. It's been real.
