Barbara and Adri are wonderful hosts. Our flight was delayed and we only arrived at 2am feeling pretty exhausted, but they were there to meet us and, despite the late hour, took time to show us everything and to give us lots of tips about what to do in Barcelona. The apartment is very attractive - stylish and modern whilst retaining its period features such as the lovely arched brick ceiling in the sitting room and the original doors. It is on the 3rd floor of an apartment building but there is a lift if you don't want to walk up. The apartment overlooks a wide tree-lined avenue and being high up is reasonably peaceful. It is extremely comfortable and well-equipped with everything you could possibly need including a coffee machine, air-con, dishwasher, hairdryer, iron etc etc. Barbara had stocked the fridge and cupboards with basics and a few extras which was very generous and useful as we arrived so late. She has compiled extensive information booklets giving details of restaurants, shops and places to visit. I really can't think of anything else we could have possibly needed! The apartment is in a brilliant location, close to the metro and within easy reach of all the places you might want to visit. The immediate area is very attractive with good shops and some interesting local restaurants. We adored Barcelona. It is such a vibrant, friendly city and there is so much to do and see. Three days was far too short and we will be back.
