What can I say about Marta and Cesc! They were both absolutely amazing and their apartment was beyond our expectations!
They were in contact with me a few weeks before our arrival date to check if there was anything we needed help with. Thankfully this was pretty straight forward but they were always available to help if I needed them.
As always with arriving on holiday, the flight times didn't match up exactly with the expected booking in times to the accommodation, however they were extremely accommodating for us. They were in contact with me once we arrived in Barcelona to ensure we were ok to get to the apartment (They knew our flight number so they knew when we had arrived!) and we arranged to drop our bags off at the apartment once we arrived, so we didn't need to hold onto them until the check in time was ready. This was a really nice touch as although the apartment wasn't ready for us to 'live in' while they did finishing touches from the previous guests, it took a massive weight off our mind to know that we wouldn't need to hold onto our luggage waiting for the apartment to be ready in a new city.
Once we arrived they spent a good amount of time walking us around the apartment showing us all the local amenities and giving us lots of local tips on where to visit, how to travel around the city, and best of all where to eat! Everyone should listen to their recommendations as they were all fantastic!
The apartment is central in the city very close to the magnificent (and very busy) Sagrada Familia with lots of local shops/cafes/restaurants within a couple of minutes walk however the apartment itself was still very quiet as the windows overlook a private street.
The veranda was an amazing place to spend mornings and evenings as there is a great seating area so we could enjoy the weather while relaxing.
There were lots of great little touches in the apartment such as the welcome basket of food and drinks and a white board with a birthday message for me!
I cant recommend staying at this apartment enough as it really was a perfect place to stay in a great city.
Thank you Marta and Cesc!!!
