My family (husband & 2 teenage daughters) and I just returned from a trip to Spain where we spent 3 days in Barcelona. I can highly recommend Maria's wonderful apartment. It was exactly as promised in the listing. Maria was easy to communicate with and she sent lots of useful information to help us prepare for our stay in Barcelona. When we arrived we were greeted by Milly who let us in and gave us the keys. The apartment was clean and well stocked including fruit, bread, coffee and juice which we greatly appreciated. The location was great, however, very light sleepers might want to consider the proximity to a busy Av. Diagonal. We enjoyed being able to walk to many locations as well as several nearby Metro stations. It was a great trip and we would love to stay with Maria again when visiting Barcelona.
