We recently spent 2 nights in Barcelona at the apartment. This was our first visit to Barcelona and we found the location ideal. It was perfectly central and within walking distance to most of the sites we visited. We did use the metro once which what located a block away. The apartment was much larger then we were expecting. There was 4 of us traveling and we found the apartment to have lots of storage and we were able to find our individual places for privacy. The apartment was clean, bright, very quiet for being in the heart of the city, and well appointed. Maria was very easy to work!
