We have been for 6 nights in Silvina's lovely apartment and felt very comfortable. The apartment was lovely, clean, well-decorated and spacious. Silvina prepared everything for us for the first morning: We had fresh bread, water and even jam. Everything needed waited for us: a well equipped kitchen,2 comfortable bedrooms with clean and fresh bed linen, a newly refurbished bathroom with lots of stuff you need like toilet paper, towels, soap, shampoo and even first aid and q-tips. There are even umbrellas, lists of restaurants and bars, city maps... Nice books and games….
Because the apartment is centrally located and Barcelona is a very busy town, we had to shut the windows at night because of the traffic. But air-condition worked perfectly. And in contrast to the traffic and noise outside the apartment is a very quiet place.
Silvinas apartment is located in Eixample, it takes just 5 minutes to Sagrada Familia, 20 minutes to get to a beautiful park and about 25 minutes to get do the beach. To get to the Rambla for example it´s better to take the metro. But the next metro station is less than 5 minutes away.
Silvina was a great host. She helped us with suggestions for places to eat and transportation. She was promptly available to answer any question.
I would really recommend Silvinas apartment.
