Rosa and Nicolas welcomed us at the apartment, even though we arrived much later than expected. They reserved a cab for us from the airport. While Rosa showed me around the apartment and explained the operations of things, Nicolas explained the city and made very good recommendations for restaurants, day trips, transportation and sites, to the rest of our family. The apartment is represented well in the pictures. The terrace was our favorite part of the apartment, with beautiful views of the city. It was very quiet with doors and windows closed, in spite of the traffic below. The location is very good, with easy access to transportation, and walking distance to most sites. Markets and restaurants are very close, with an ATM next door. We enjoyed Barcelona and the apartment very much!
