A very warm welcome from Anna on our arrival; lovely, fresh breakfast and a beer and mini bottle of Cava in the fridge...lovely!!
Apartment as expected; very quirky and tasteful, clean and comfortable. The spiral staircase a little tricky at times, particularly when trying to take up the breakfast to eat with the view!! However, certainly worth the effort. A tad scary if you don't like heights, but great view across the city.
The neighbourhood is typically Spanish- but we found a couple of places close by to eat as walking around all day was so punishing that we preferred to stay closer to home in the evening. On our first night we went to a place at the top end of Carrer Parlament called Llesqueria Spicca.....really tasty food and great service.... the chocolate souffle was fabulous and all at a reasonable price! about a 15 min walk from the apartment. Even closer though was a popular Italian restaurant......less then 5 mins...Carrer Margarit...La Bella Napoli..lovely authentic pizzas. Also lots of little bars serving Pinxchos/ basic tapas etc....
Anna has left lots of useful info about bus times, eateries etc and she kindly organised us a taxi to the airport on our last day which was considerably cheaper than the one we took from the airport! Books, DVD's, beach towels all available...even an Apple mac should you need it!
Would happily return and recommend this place highly!! However, word of warning...there are 92 stairs up to the apartment and no lift! Great for working off the tapas!
