We found this apartment to be a perfect home base from which to explore Barcelona. The apartment was very clean and comfortable.
We didn't cook much other than preparing breakfasts but you could easily prepare lovely meals in the well appointed kitchen. The apartment gets lots of natural light but if you want to sleep in or take a midday nap there is a great automatic shade that blocks the light. It is close to lots of stores, cafes and a market and is very close to 3 Metro stops. Frank had lots of recommendations for places to go and see and he was great with communication. He was also able to accommodate a somewhat early check-in for two tired and jet-lagged travelers. Which we very much appreciated.
