We LOVED Barcelona and the apartment was great! Maite (host's sister) was very nice and friendly and responsive to my texts once we arrived in Barcelona, and Kristjan and Ana were very responsive to all my emails before our arrival. They were very thoughtful; I asked if the apartment came with beach towels and was told it normally didn't, but they would make them available for us! We went to the beach three times during our stay so we really appreciated that. The big terrace was a great amenity. The apartment is a few yards away from two grocery stores, a pharmacy, and a convenience store and close to buses and subways--so convenient. It felt like a home away from home and if we are lucky enough to visit Barcelona again, we would be happy to stay here. Thanks for everything!
