Vanessa's place is terrific. Spacious living area and great views from a lovely balcony with seating area. Good equipment available in the apartment such as ironing board, hairdryer etc. Beds are comfortable and lots of towels on hand. However, no wifi in the ensuite room and Netflix buffers on the tv in the main living so bring a laptop if that's the way you'd like to go. Lovely Welcome book with loads of useful information to help you during your stay. Two Metro stations 5 to12 mins away but be prepared for the hilly walk-ups! Buying a T-10 book of Metro tickets is by far the cheapest way to get around the easy Metro system. Bakery next door is full of delicious treats and the numerous supermarkets within walking distance makes it super easy to fill the fridge! A taxi for 6 cost €55 from Barcelona airport to the apartment. This may be cheaper for a smaller group. Vanessa was a great host and very responsive, even when she was not in the country. Always replied and was very helpful, especially as we stayed during the time the demonstrations were occurring in Central Barcelona. Vanessa was on hand with great advice on places to avoid and places to visit instead...invaluable! All in all, Vanessa's place really suited our party well and we highly recommend it!
