We were greeted by Txell's father promptly at the designated time. The apartment is exactly as advertised on the website. The apartment was spotless, and indeed, in a very desirable neighborhood. We were able to walk most places we wanted to go in Barcelona. There are multiple outstanding restaurants nearby. Also, you are in walking distance to La Pedrera. There are multiple bakeries nearby (and Starbucks). Txell left beautiful fruit for us to enjoy for breakfast.

The apartment is wonderful and has blessedly excellent air conditioning, which was key during the heat wave we experienced during our visit. The terrace is amazing with incredible views of the city.
