Manuel, the delightful host was extremely helpful, by meeting us on our arrival and giving us a tour of the apartment and terrace. He also gave us tips on the local area and Barcelona itself. As for the apartment, it was wonderful and set in a beautiful garden terrace with magnificent views. As soon as we set foot onto the terrace, the aroma of jasmine, which was in full bloom, greeted us and we were surrounded by pots of flowering plants, herbs and trees. What a beautiful garden sanctuary! We found it hard to go out to explore because this place was so inviting and peaceful. It is even better than the photos are able to portray. The use of the service lift to access the apartment only adds to the character and charm of this lovely hideaway. We definitely want to return for a longer stay.
