We loved our stay in this apartment. It is large, beautiful, stylish, and comfortable. There is AC in the living room and the two main bedrooms which was key for summer. The kitchen was easy and useful. The produce market (Concepcion, highly rated) is 1.5 blocks away so we went almost every day for fresh fruit, bread, and cheese. We also bought delicious olive oil and nuts there. The large supermarket is less than one block away with amazing prices. The metro stop is one block away and the metro is easy to use. The apartment is centrally located between the north of the city (Gaudi buildings) and the south (old town and beach), so we walked or took public transit easily. Fiona spent time with us on the morning of our arrival and talked us through the big picture and gave helpful hints. Fiona and Phil were always available when we needed them and very responsive. The apartment was quiet except for one night when the neighbor had a party but even then the neighbor compensated us through Phil and Fiona for the noise. This apartment really made our stay in Barca so pleasant and enjoyable because we could relax, come back between outings, eat, and sleep incredibly well. We loved it!
