My wife and I cannot say enough about Rosa's beach apartment. Beautiful, designer feel and a complete kitchen where I made wonderful dinners. There is an upscale shopping center across the street with a comprehensive grocery store where I bought fresh fish and everything needed to cook fabulous meals. The apartment building is literally the last building before the park and Mediterranean. We strolled down the beach from the apartment and walked to the Rambla. Rosa was a perfect host, meeting us upon our arrival and for our departure. She gave us maps and advice of travel and sightseeing options. Clearly, she enjoyed having visitors and wanted us to have a terrific experience. Her bilingual abilities really helped a lot. We love Barcelona and will return to Rosa's apartment when we next come to Spain.
