The location is unbeatable, right in the best area of Barcelona. We felt very safe and enjoyed the many restaurants and shops adjacent to the apartment, as well as walking down the Ramblas to Plaza Catalunya and beyond. There's a fantastic tapas restaurant very close by called the Cerveceria Catalunya. I highly recommend it!

Mario was a great host and speaks excellent English. He responded quickly to our inquiries -- mostly via email -- and immediately was responsive to our needs. Getting the keys was easy and our departure was simple.

It's a very nice, attractively furnished apartment, not luxurious but modern and comfortable. It's relatively large and will definitely host 4 people with the pullout sofa bed. The apartment is well appointed with everything that's needed for a pleasant stay to include a microwave and washer / dryer -- just as it was described. The shower supplied plenty of hot water. Everything worked very satisfactorily but the washer can be a bit noisy so plan to do you laundry during the day, if need be. But it was a wonderful convenience nonetheless.

We enjoyed that the apartment is very sunny and quiet. The elevator was appreciated. We enjoyed our stay here and I would definitely stay here again.
