Marta’s apartment is a large spacious place, perfect for a family with 2/3 kids.
It has a large living/dining room with comfortable sofas and even piano for a music loving family such as ours. It has a longish balcony skirting the living room and one bedroom. The apartment has central heating and a large kitchen with a utility area and a washing machine.
Please note the apartment is not in city centre but is in a good, safe neighbourhood 3 mins walking distance from 2 metros which took you to city centre (La Ramblas, Sagrada Familia) within 25 mins.
The advantage is that you really feel like you’re living in Barcelona as a resident rather than as a tourist, especially when you get back home after a long day and relax together over a drink as a family.
There are 2 supermarkets close by as well as some cute street cafes.
Marta welcomed us at the apartment and evening though we spoke English and she Spanish, she took a lot of effort to explain the layout and amenities in the apartment.
All in all a great experience.
