Firstly the neighbourhood: its fantastic. We've been to Barcelona a lot, but we'll never stay anywhere else in future. Was great to feel part of a vibrant creative community. We travelled with kids, a baby and a four year old. Having a park at the end of the street, and a couple more in walking distance was fab. We also found it easy to walk to & from the Metro. We even walked to Park Guell.

Jordi was a great host meeting us on arrival, checking in through the week and booking us a taxi to the airport.

The apartment is lovely, very tidy. Many miss small touches. Here, nothing had been missed in the modernisation. There are just a couple of stairs at the doorway, which were no problem with our pushchair. And there is a kettle! A rarity in continental Europe, but a must for us Brits.

Highly recommended. We'd definitely stay again.
