Patricia went above and beyond to accommodate us: due to a mix-up with at the airport we arrived much later in the evening than planned and she waited for us and got us settled in, all with a gracious smile. She had lots of material for us about the City, tours and local restaurants that was very helpful...the lovely cookies and tea were most appreciated! If you have the time, do enjoy some the restaurants in the area: Balthazars for dinner/tapas and Cup and Cake for creative, delicious breakfasts, Barcelona style! The apartment was conveniently located, once you understood the map. We did not cook there, but did notice that the kitchen had pretty much everything one would need. Furnishings were exactly as pictured and very comfortable: great shower. There is an elevator, which proved to be VERY important to us, as we had way too much luggage, which Patricia graciously helped us with. We would definitely return.
