Our plane to Barcelona was several hours delayed, but Silvia was prompt in responding to our emails and was there waiting for us when we arrived. When we arrived, Silvia was friendly and inviting, made sure we could access wifi, that we could use the heat/cool system, mapped out good places to eat/drink, and gave us an amazing restaurant recommendation. Since yelp is kind of heavy on touristy tapas places in Barcelona (i.e. yelp's a bit unreliable there), Silvia's restaurant recommendation was something we would have never found without her, it was very reasonably priced, cool, and the food was the best meal we had in the city. Freshly washed towels were left on the bed and she left us a bottle of wine, some coffee, and tea.

The apartment is true to the photos/description and is absolutely lovely in a wonderful part of the city (Poble Sec). We didn't take public transportation once because we walked everywhere. Around the apartment there are many nice cafes for breakfast, great little local tapas bars (try La Chana and Quimet & Quimet). Also if you can handle the big hill, the apartment is right next to Montjuic mountain which takes you up to lovely gardens & a castle to explore.

Thanks Silvia for such a great stay in Barcelona! We highly recommend staying here!
