Having left it really late to book our stay in Barcelona we were lucky to find Melica and her beautiful apartment ! Melica was timely and a breeze to work with during the booking process and met us when we arrived at the apartment to let us in and show around.
Melica had filled the fridge with a few essentials including beer and some soft drinks which was a nice touch after a long journey into Barcelona.
The apartment feels nearly new and has all the appliances and items that you would have at home - including very powerful rain head showers which were great at the end of the day ! The Apartment is located 2 mins walk from a Metro Train Station and the stunning Sagrada Familia Basilica - and the Bus (V21) can be caught right across the street that will take you directly to the beach if you wish - or you can walk in around 20 mins. There are many small Super Markets near by for the essentials and a wonderful bakery / Coffee shop where we enjoyed breakfast most mornings.
As this was out first visit to Barcelona, we found that downloading the CityMapper and Lonely Planet Apps to be a real help when figuring out how to get around and planning out where to go and how to get there.
(TIP - buy a T10 Metro card at a Metro Train Station, which will get you 10 trips, on all buses and trains in Zone1 for 10Euro - this is way cheaper than buying individual bus / train journeys)
Melica also took us to the airport for a small fee which was a nice way to end our visit to Barcelona on this occasion.
Many thanks for all your help with our vacation Melica !
