This beautiful flat next to the Garibladi metro stop and a short block from Placa Catalunya was perfect for our needs, and our host responded immediately to our every request for help getting around or finding things to do. The flat was clean, easy to find, and within a 20 minute walk from almost everything we wanted to see. At first I was a bit disappointed by the limited cooking facilities (only a 2-burner cooktop and microwave) but I soon came to my senses. It was perfect for a quick breakfast or light lunch, and excellent restaurants are everywhere in Barcelona. Vacations are not for cooking; vacations are for discovering what new flavors you can cook when you go home.
