We are family of four (2 teenagers) and it was our first stay in Barcelona. We were very satisfied with tha apartment. It was close to metro, bus, restaurants, shop. I would say, the area is perfect. Maria, the owner, is great to. She replied for all my questions quickly. And we really appreciated an auto check in, when we arrived. Excellent! Apartment is very nice, clean and comfortable. I fully recommend it! Thanks again.
