Excellent location close to public transit, the gothic quarter, and restaurants. Lia was very responsive before and during our visit with responding to emails and queries. The apartment is a perfect home base for 2 with a small efficiency kitchen, bath with tub and two sinks, a sitting area and two small balconies. Lia had so many recommendations and resources regarding where to explore during our stay in Barcelona. Being situated so close to the city and above outdoor cafes, it is a lively area so light sleepers would benefit from ear plugs which were thoughtfully provided. There is a lift in the building though it starts on the first floor so one does need to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the lift, I mention this if one has lots of luggage or has trouble navigating stairs—we managed just fine though. All in all, a wonderful stay in a wonderful city.
