From the moment we made our booking all our enquiries about the apartment were answered clearly and quickly by Maria. When we arrived I telephoned Isabel, a friend of Maria, to say we were very close and within 5 minutes she had met us to let us into the apartment. It has been recently renovated and both the kitchen and bathroom are very modern, clean and extremely well-equipped with everything you need for a short stay and the Wifi connection was excellent. The views across the river towards the cathedral and the old town are magnificent and the location is perfect just by Plaça Independençia with easy access to shops, restaurants, supermarket and car park (if you are arriving by car). The many attractions of the old town can be easily reached by a bridge which crosses the river immediately outside the apartment. We had a wonderful stay here with the only drawback being that if you are a party of 4 people then 2 have to sleep on a sofa bed but all bedding and towels were provided.
