We absolutely loved Mar's apartment. It had everything that my family needed during our 10 day stay in Barcelona. The location is perfectly located a block from the Metro and is in walking distance to many things. My husband, 18 month old toddler met my parents and my mother-in-law in Spain and the apartment accommodated all of us. Mar even had a baby crib with all the linens as well as a baby crib fur us to use during our stay.
The space is accurately represented in the photographs, although even better in person. High ceilings, with white walls and beautiful vintage floor tiles. The kitchen was modern with everything we needed to do light cooking and have a fabulous Christmas dinner. The Nespresso machine was a wonderful touch. The bathrooms also felt newly redone and the big bathtub was well used (mostly by our toddler) during our stay.
The beds were very comfortable with nice linens (always a welcome touch). We all slept well there (minus the jet-lag) and it was convenient to have the bedrooms on one end of the place and the dining/ living/kitchen on the other. We didn't hear one another if some people went to bed earlier than others.
While there is some street noise that trickles through on Friday / Saturday night, it was not any disturbance to us at all. It just felt like a city and the shutters block out all the light so we didn't wake any earlier than we planned.
Mar was also the most wonderful host. She met my parents at the apartment and took them through all the details prior to my arrival. She left us a delicious tray of local goodies to nosh on AND even continued to give me helpful tips of places to pick up pre made food (for Christmas) and even where I might purchase a yoga mat so I could practice at home. I have never had such an attentive an caring host such as Mar. I would stay at this apartment again in a heart beat. I really can't say enough positive things about our experience.
