We went back to Barcelona for the first time with our children (5&8)... it was very important that where we stayed was safe as well as being perfectly placed to be able to get to all the places that we wanted to. Communication with hosts was also very important to us especially as we were travelling with young children. Everything above was perfect. Communication with the hosts before we arrived and during our stay was fantastic. The place was spotless with all that we needed. It was perfect that there was a good cheap supermarket 'Dia' on our doorstep. The rambles was a walk away. The metro was at the end of the street to get to Park Guell. The beach was also close by. The space was perfect in the apartment. We as a family only have good things to say about both the location, the apartment and of course the hosts ( which I would say is the most important thing when travelling to another country. )When we return to Barcelona we will definitely be staying here again!!!!
