We had a wonderful stay in Barcelona! A huge contributing factor was our home-base, Anna and Clara's apartment on Diagonal.

Clara greeted us when we arrived and provided excellent guidance on our stay, along with fantastic restaurant suggestions that allowed us to sample authentic local cuisine.

The neighborhood exceeded our expectations. It was either within walking distance (5-20 mins) or short metro rides from many major attractions / areas including, sagrada familia, arc de triomf, la pedrera, parc guell, etc. We also stumbled upon a true gem restaurant, Manairo, which was less than a 10 min walk from the apartment. A must!

The apartment was stylish, clean, and comfortable - very similar to the photos, which is always a relief! The building itself was beautiful, and had touches of the famous Barcelona architecture (a fantastic apartment door), which we fell in love with.

We had all the comforts of home, which was hugely helpful. And, Clara gave us the rundown on local supermercats to find everything else we needed.

It was sadly a bit cold to enjoy the terrace more, but it was also beautiful. I highly recommend this listing, and am eager to return to Barcelona and the apartment.
