Lovely and spacious apartment in a central, safe location with lots of shops and great restaurants nearby. The apartment is quiet despite being downtown and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is large and modern though we didn’t cook much. Loved having a table facing the courtyard for eating and playing games and planning the day. Great central location for visiting Barcelona. Quick walk from the fast and relatively inexpensive bus from the airport terminal 1, which drops off and picks up at CATALUNYA Plaza. The hosts are responsive and friendly. There are a lot of stairs but a small elevator is useful when hauling things and we rarely had to wait. Tapas 24 was great and Chilly Indian restaurant nearby was AMAZING. We loved the Crois croissant Gourmet restaurant for breakfast (Spanish omelets and croissants) and yummy cafe con leche. Pizza Pazza in the Gothic Quarter for great, fast slices. Cafeteria on top of Cortes Inglés for good food and great city views.
