Francesca was easy and pleasant to deal with from first to last. She was there when I arrived to let me in and show me round and was an attentive and friendly host throughout my week-long stay. The apartment is in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, close to Las Ramblas, and perfectly positioned to explore this wonderful city. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the facilities more than adequate for my needs, with a good wifi connection and use of the apartment kitchen as and when needed. This is a great place to stay and I warmly recommend both the apartment and Francesca to anyone looking for a central base for their visit to Barcelona.
