Noemi and Carlos are treasures. The apartment is clean and more than adequate for a stay in Barcelona. It is close to many good restaurants and subway stations. The subway is very easy to use. The kindness of Noemi and Carlos is the headline here. Noemi kept in constant communication with us and allowed us to leave our bags at the apartment until check in time while we explored the city. Carlos met us at the apartment and walked with us to familiarize us with the neighborhood. He showed us the subway station, and even took us into the station and helped us use the ticketing machine-a task that is often confusing in a new city. I strongly recommend this apartment and the hosts, Noemi and Carlos.
