This apartment is a dream!
I stayed for one month in Elisa and Luis's apartment in Barcelona with my husband and three children, ages 10, 11 and 14. We LOVED the apartment for many reasons:
1. The style - it is beautifully designed and decorated. Everything in the apartment from the showers to the windows to the closets serves a purpose and is exceptionally well made. The apartment has huge windows and is bright and sunny, except when you don't want sun, and then the automatic shade blocks out all light. The kitchen is very well equipped and very functional.
2. The location is fantastic. You are right near the most beautiful old parts of Barcelona. There is nightlife, museums, restaurants and grocery stores right near you. If you are worried about noise, you won't hear anything because of the sound-proof windows. You are also right next to a wonderful park with a great zoo. My family became members of the zoo and visited the animals almost daily. You are also a 10-15 minute walk from the beach. I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else for our stay!
3. It is hot in Barcelona in the summer and Elisa and Luis installed super new air conditioners in the apartment which were life-savors for us. Elisa and Luis were very responsive to our every request, as well as kind, honest and generous.
4. My kids loved the apartment too. Even though it was well designed, it was not fussy. My kids felt very comfortable there and I didn't have to worry about them breaking things.
I can't say enough about our stay in this wonderful place!
