It's hard to walk out of any door in Barcelona and not think you're in a perfect spot - it is such a fascinating city. But Toni's apartment gives "perfect" a new dimension. You could not possibly find a better situated location - 100 yards to the best fresh croissants, a terrific neighborhood tapas bar IN THE BUILDING; a 5-minute walk to the Metro; and just a 10-minute stroll to Plaça de Catalunya. What about the apartment itself? More than spacious. Updated fairly recently. Three good-size bedrooms, a nice living space and kitchen, and an adorable and quiet front sunroom overlooking the Gran Via. All of that, and a generous, helpful host. The only downsides: a beautiful wood floor that squeaks quite loudly; a collection of knives that are the dullest we've encountered in Rental World; and an adjoining neighbor whose every word can be heard through one of the bedroom walls. But that's minor nit-picking about a fabulous experience. Hard to imagine we - or you - could do better.
