Apartment: the apartment is absolutely beautiful (more so even than the pictures) and immaculate. The facilities are excellent: Wi-Fi, kitchen, heating, shower, DVD player, etc. 5 of us stayed comfortably.

Location: the location is very central just off Las Ramblas and a few minutes on foot from the Gothic quarter. There are some fantastic restaurants on the same street as the apartment. Due to its central location, there is some noise at night but this is to be expected and it certainly did not keep us awake.

Hosts: Carlos and Bogdan could not have been more helpful in the run up to and during our stay. They both were very responsive and helpful to texts and emails. There was an issue with the DVD player so Carlos came round the following morning with a brand new replacement.

My family and I are very grateful to the hosts for all their hard work ; we had a fantastic stay in Barcelona. I would highly recommend this apartment.
