Emile's apartment was a perfect place to spend some days in Barcelona with our adult children. The kitchen was well furnished and having two bathrooms upstairs made getting out in the morning that much easier. The air conditioning was a treat. It was very easy to get to all of the tourist destinations on the metro. Most of all we enjoyed coming home to an apartment in a non-touristy part of town and eating in the neighborhood restaurants. Emile's recommendations led us to some of the best food we had during our vacation. If you're serious about pastry, the neighborhood shop, Mas, is worth a visit even if you stay somewhere else. If we find ourselves in Barcelona, we'll be staying here again.
