Sylvia met us at the specified time and gave us access. The apartment was exactly as described. Our first night was met with a torrential downpour and thunderstorm - we sat on the covered balcony in wonder, taking in the awesome Sagrada through a curtain of rain and backlit with lightning. A truly great start to our stay in Barcelona.

The apartment is centrally located, with a metro line right downstairs and other interesting destinations within a short/cheap taxi ride or a longer walk. Everything about the apartment was expected.

Tip: The Italian pizza place on the same block is really good.
