We stayed in this apartment with our two kids, ages 4 and 1, so this will be a review based on the experience of a family staying there. It was great. As a base to see Barcelona it's perfectly sited, extremely close to lots of facilities (pharmacies, minimarkets and supermarkets), the Metro and the famous Sagrada Familia. Gema was an amazing host who could not do enough for us - she even accompanied us to the emergency doctors (literally across the road) when we arrived on a Sunday with a sick child! All the facilities worked well, including the heating, hot water and all-important washing machine. If you're travelling with kids: check out the playground at the corner of Lepant and Industria, a 5/7 min walk from the flat, and then if you need sustenance head round the corner to the roast chicken place on Lepant which is open every day from 12noon - deeelicious. There's also quite a good playground at the Sagrada Familia, in the park opposite the long entrance queue. The science museum 'Cosmo Caixa' is a must with kids also, as is the Miro museum and the park of Montjuic. The 'Magic Fountain' nightly light display is also great fun. If you're heading to the beach I recommend the crepe place www.creperiebretonne.com - it's very nice food and especially child-friendly. Enjoy Barcelona, it's a fantastic city!
