Prior to arrival, we had great communication with our host, and even though our train into town was several hours late, she was able to check us in with no waiting. The apartment is beautiful and even better than in the photos - the terrace was amazing and we spent most of our time out there enjoying the sun, wine and views. It was the perfect location for our family of four, nicely located between several metro stops and close to supermarkets, tapas bars and tourist attractions. We had several hot days, so the air conditioning was a big plus, and we were even able to catch up on our laundry after several other stops across Europe. We cannot wait to return and would highly recommend this apartment for anyone, whether small families or for couples. This was the perfect place to use as a base in Barcelona. Thanks Nuria!
