Maria’s apartment is well located and near to the beach (5 minutes on foot). Supermarket, several convenience stores, restaurants and metro station are all nearby. The apartment is relatively small, but clean and well-equipped. The communication with Maria was excellent. As I missed a couple of mails from her, she called me on cell a few days prior to our trip in order to arrange the key pickup and check-in. That was very cool, many thanks!
Unfortunately, we had this time some bad experiences in Barcelona (broken car window and theft, then stupid jerk pinched my car tire while I was waiting for red traffic light, middle in the city!!!). As Maria’s office is very near to the apartment, we managed to get quick help from Maria’s colleague. That was very helpful!
