Marta's place is really big and in a great location. The metro is less than five minutes walk from the apartment, only two stops from Sagrada Familia and well connected to the whole of Barcelona. There is a Lidl around the corner, just two minutes walk away.
The three bedrooms are a good size with really comfortable beds and as a family of four we found having two bathrooms really useful! The living area is big and spacious with a comfortable sofa and large dining table. My children (age 13 and 8) really enjoyed the piano! The living room opens out to a large seated patio where you can sit and watch the parakeets in the trees just outside.
The kitchen has everything you need during your stay, including a coffee machine. The whole apartment is spotlessly clean.
Marta is a wonderful host. She greeted us on arrival and even though she doesn't speak English (and we don't speak Catalan or Spanish) she somehow communicated perfectly. She showed us how to use the washing machine and electric window shutters and gave us excellent directions for Camp Nou which was really helpful.
Barcelona is a fantastic place to visit. There is so much to see and do. We hope to come back some day - and stay at Marta's place again.
