Minerva and her mother were fantastic. I had detailed instructions and suggestions to get to the apartment and around Barcelona, and Kitty (her mother) met us at the apartment to let us in. She had croissants waiting for us which was very nice!

The apartment itself is beautiful. Open concept, plenty of natural light, and a wonderful crossbreeze with both balconies open. It was clean and spacious and everything you'd want. It's also in a real neighbourhood - kids playing soccer, families doing their thing. You get the real experience (though if you're a light sleeper, ear plugs may be useful, just because it is a neighbourhood and noise carries into the night - I think because Spain just eats late :) ) It is up 6 flights of stairs, but with all the delicious food you'll be eating, it's good exercise! (considering the pinxo and tapas places less than a block away ... needed!)

I loved the location - 20-30 minute walk tops to anything, but a metro 5 minutes away as well.

No complaints - everything was great! I would stay here again.
