We had a lovely stay at Olivia and Cyril's apartment, which is about a ten minute walk from La Rambla and the Boqueria market - an enjoyable stroll in the sunshine. The flat is very spacious and furnished in a vintage style, which was perfect for the two of us. We made good use of the Tassimo coffee machine which was our saviour each morning. There are plenty of coffee shops and places to eat close by, plus a supermarket that is a five minute walk away for essentials, so it's a great base for anyone who loves to explore. There were some very minor issues with the shower water leaking on to the floor in the bathroom, but it didn't hinder our experience at all. Olivia met us upon our arrival and was very friendly and helpful, giving us a head start on our city break. We'll definitely stay here again if we return to Barcelona. Good value for money and a warm and welcoming environment. If you do stay here, there is a quirky little bar a short walk away that serves delicious Venezuelan food, great beer and kiwi daiquiris! Highly recommended.
