Minerva was ver available by email and as she was traveling her Mom met me (at 1:00 in the morning!) and was extremely nice. The flat is as described and even better. The shower and bathroom were wonderful and clean. The bed was very comfortable. And the rest of the flat is large and perfect for a stay in Barcelona. The neighborhood is fun and easy to get to everything you need in terms of food, transportation, etc. Sitting on the balcony watching the swallows at sunset was a highlight. One thing to be aware of: the flat is at the top of the building which requires about 100 stairs, so not for the out of shape!
