We had a wonderful time staying at Jose and Patricia's apartment. The first thing to know about this listing is that the location can't be beat. Many taxi drivers and guides we had mentioned this is where locals spend time. The entire city was at our fingertips with a taxi stand across the street and metro stop just a few steps away.
The apartment itself is immaculately clean and charming. We had plenty of space for our family of four although we spent time there mostly to sleep. The building can be somewhat noisy on Friday and Saturday nights but it seemed to quiet down around 1:00 am. The bedrooms are comfortable and attractive but have no exterior windows. This was only a problem for us in that it made it very difficult to get up in the morning. With the room pitch black we had no idea what time it was.
Jose and Patricia were most helpful and immediately responsive to our questions and, although they were unavailable to greet us at check in, they left a lovely bottle of cava and cookies. They also anticipated many of our needs and sent very helpful information in advance.
Our trip to Barcelona was one of the best yet and Jose & Patricia's apartment definitely contributed to its success. We highly recommend it.
