Excellent hosts - very accommodating and helpful - prompt responses to emails/questions etc and welcoming and attentive on arrival.
Loved the apartment - a great space for our family of 5 to spread out - bright, spacious, airy and clean and comfortable with 2 bathrooms and a much appreciated washing machine! Also enjoyed that it was quite high up 3rd or 4th floor (with a lift that the kids loved!) and huge windows that opened onto the street scape.
Great location - particularly if you prefer to be a little away from the full tourist zones and have a more authentic Spanish experience but still very accessible to all the sightseeing highlights. Metro and local bus service were excellent and very close but equally many of the attractions are in walking distance. Lots of cafés, restaurants, shops nearby and traditional squares to enjoy tapas and beer.
The master bedroom at the front is lovely but can be noisy - probably hard to avoid in Barcelona given it is a bustling, busy city that is awake late into the night so hang onto those airline ear plugs!! The 2 other bedrooms at the back are also comfortable and offer a quiet retreat.
We loved this apartment, had a great experience and would highly recommend it.
