We just spent a week in BCN at Marcel’s apartment. It was a blast! The location could not be better, walking distance to most attractions, restaurants, shopping and the true BCN’s life style. We had stayed in the area before, but not so centrally located. There is a metro station and a bus stop literally in front of the building and a public parking lot, if you by any chance rent a car, or drive in into the city. The apartment was spacious and was well equipped (we did not miss anything), and fitted our family of four very comfortably. El Corte Ingles is two block away and has the best supermarket in the area. Marcel was a fantastic host, communicating with us before, during and after our stay. Very easy to deal and accommodating host. I highly recommend it!
