Gloria's apartment was perfect. It's very centrally located with a metro stop at each end of the block and within easy walking distance to many sights. It's located in a great area with a number of restaurants nearby, a wonderful bakery on the corner, a small market across the street and a larger one on the next block. The neighborhood felt very safe and easy to walk around. The apartment is well-maintained, clean, quiet and beautiful with lots of character, light and space. There was plenty of room for all of us. Gloria quickly responded to any questions and made us feel welcome right away. Since our flight arrived early in the morning, she allowed us to drop off our luggage, which made it possible for us to start our exploration of the city right away. All in all, a very lovely place and highly recommended. In the future, we hope to stay here again, as we fell in love with Barcelona and this fantastic apartment.
