Juan and Veronica his wife were at the apartment to meet us as agreed in our email . Before we arrived, he offered to help us arrange transport from the airport. They showed us around the apartment and gave us maps and some general information of the area . He also had brochures about the bus tours and flamenco dance .
We were a family of 6 ( with adult children ). The apartment was just as described and shown in the pictures . There are 2 large bedrooms each with an adjoining section - a sofa bed in the section next to the master room , and the other room an extra double bed. the kitchen is well equipped with a large fridge and a small table . There is also a separate dining area which was a good place to have a drink and chat. The washing machine and dryer ( no soap powder provided) was useful as we had been travelling for more than a week. The place is new and clean, and spacious enough for all of us. It is in a good location and on a main street, but not noisy. A short walk to the metro, La Ramblas, Passeig de Gracia and there are shops and many eating places nearby.
We were provided with a small bottle of washing up liquid and a tablet for the dish washer which we didnt need to use. A bigger bottle of washing up liquid would have been appreciated , so as to wash the few cups and plates daily since we stayed for 5 nights.
Overall, we enjoyed staying in this apartment, and will definitely choose to stay here again if we are back in Barcelona.
Muchas gracias, Juan and Veronica
