Maria was there to greet us with her lovely manner. There were welcome food items in the fridge and wine as well. The apartment is large and as advertised. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us. The apartment is well maintained and clean. Maria was attentive to our requirements and questions. Always available. The location is fabulous and Barcelona well worth a visit. Also, we were close to a wonderful fruit and vegetable shop, a bakery, an organic grocery, and a small supermarket.
