We were a group of eight (seven adults, one 8-year-old) and were completely comfortable in this well-designed apt. We did not meet the host - he had the cleaner's son waiting for us with keys, etc. when we arrived - but we felt immediately at home. The apt. itself is very beautiful - gorgeous, in fact. For a small extra charge, we were provided with four sets of keys, which made our days in Barcelona much easier to plan (four couples, coming and going!) There were lovely basic instructions for how everything in the apartment worked, and the apartment itself was just beautiful - just close enough to walk to everything, just far enough to be out of the press of tourists. Don't miss the stroll down around the Tetuan Circle, past the Arc de Triomphe and through the Ciutadella Park (wild parrots!), especially on a Sunday when it is full of local families. Even the walk to the Barceloneta is not too far! We loved everything about the apartment - high ceilings, lovely architectural details, comfy beds, good water pressure, instant hot water, great washng machine, even loved the slow and charming old elevator. The host has obviously put a lot of thought and care into how to make guests comfortable. Thank you - we had a WONDERFUL stay.
