The apartment is just lovely - even better than it looks in the photos, very stylish, with lovely art, comfy beds, very good quiet air conditioning, powerful hot showers, and everything you need for a very comfortable stay. It's also spacious and at the back of the building so despite being a reasonably busy road we couldn't hear any outside noise when we were in there.
Anne was a great host, easy communication, and check in was just like arriving home with everything ready and spotlessly clean. Her friend was there when we arrived, and we had no issues at all, and felt like we had plenty of help if we had needed it.
The location is so central, and easy to get to all parts of the city. On the first day I jogged down Las Ramblas to the beach and back, and we walked to Segrada Familia, and hired bikes one day to cycle down the beachfront and explore the port. We didn't need to use public transport at all except to get up to the Olympic park, though even that was in walking distance.
It was very sad that such a beautiful and friendly city suffered a terrible attack while we were there, Anne sent a message to check we were all okay. It was no reflection of the city and very sadly could happen in any city in the world. It was a sobering moment, but we will remember vibrant, sunny and welcoming Barcelona when we look back on our trip.
Thank you for making our trip so easy, I will definitely be coming back and hope to stay here again!
