Pau & Marina are very quick in responding to my questions and needs like the extra clothes hangers and detergent tablets. We land in the morning but check-in is only after 3pm. We had requested for the ability to at least leave our luggage in the apartment and spend time familiarizing the area till after 3pm. It was a pleasant surprise when the Eleazar who met us to check us in told us we are able to check in at 12noon. We were shocked to see the mess the previous tenant left behind (who left past the agreed time). The mess includes food crumbs on dining table, food crumbs, pieces of papers & pistachio shells all over the living, dining and master bedroom floors and rubbish not thrown away. But Pau & Marina have such a super efficient housekeeping staff who did such a fantastic job cleaning up the mess that when we came back to the apartment after 4pm there is no evidence of the mess at all. We tried a couple of the restaurant (La Mestressa & Forn Balta) recommendations provided by Pau & Marina and found that they were good. We also love the Lebanese food in the Fenicia restaurant downstairs just a couple of units away. Very authentic. We love the convenience to the Train and two Metro Stations. They are really only a 5-minute walk from the apartment. The 2 Metro Stations provided access to 3 metro lines! It was so easy for us, including my 81-year old dad who walks with a walking stick, to move around and catch all the important sights of Barcelona! We loved and enjoyed the terrace and despite the cold weather we had to have one dinner on the terrace! The photos provided on the website correctly reflect what you will get. We will not hesitate to stay here again the next time we visit Barcelona! Thank you Pau & Marina for making our stay a very pleasant one!
