What a fantastic apartment in this wonderful city. We loved everything about John's place and especially made full use of the terrace - great base to explore Barcelona. John was really helpful, staying later than planned - due to our delayed flight, to explain everything about his spacious apartment and give us tips on the local neighbourhood. He had made sure there were provisions to see us through until the following day, as well as providing bath and beach towels etc. We had a fabulous week and would certainly book John's apartment again.
Tip - as there were 4 of us, we travelled everywhere by taxi - very reasonable, much quicker than the metro / bus, delivered you directly to your chosen destination and we had no problems flagging them down anywhere in the city.
