This apartment was perfect for our Barcelona stay. It's close to many of Barcelona's tourist sites, but the neighborhood still feels locally functional, with grocery stores, greengrocers, bakeries, etc. The apartment is well-laid out, with a fine kitchen and the star attraction, a terrace you will never want to leave (except maybe at the day's hottest point). The pictures don't lie - this balcony is an absolute gem. Ivan was quick to answer any questions, and his assistant Isa went out of her way to help us have an easy check-in. She has a wealth of knowledge about the apartment and the neighborhood, and even in our jet-lagged state we absorbed much that was helpful. The metro stops very nearby, so this apartment really puts all of Barcelona at your fingertips. This is the nicest and best airbnb rental we've had. Thanks Ivan! Thanks Isa!
