I visited Barcelona with two friends for a weekend, and I must say I've had no higher or better rating from my friends than after choosing Giovanni's apartment. They were delighted with this apartment, and so was I!

The apartment is large, spacious and bright with every amenity we could ask for, with a great kitchen with large fridge (good for storing Cava!) and great wifi - and the three bedrooms were all very comfortable.

What is most spectacular about this apartment are the two (2!) balconies on either end of the apartment, this meant we were able to enjoy the sunshine in the apartment from morning until sunset. We found the balcony furniture particularly comfortable. The views of the apartment are breathtaking, including the Sagrada Familia which is just minutes walk away.

The apartment is close to everything you'd need when visiting Barcelona - in particular amazingly good value Cava to enjoy on the two (2!) balconies.

Whilst we didn't get to meet Giovanni he ensured there were people there to meet us when we arrived, and not only did they let us in and show us around the apartment they gave us very helpful tips for what to find locally.

After sharing photos on Facebook while in Giovanni's apartment other friends have all been talking about booking this apartment. I just hope it's available the next time I'm coming to Barcelona!
