Pre-arrival communications were informative and well-timed. Fiona was there to meet us, with a warm welcome and useful tips on what to do and how to navigate the small, narrow laneways of the nearby and super- interesting Gotic and Raval neighbourhoods. We also had a follow up contact to ensure all was Ok. The apartment is spacious, light, has good storage, and a well-equipped kitchen for folks who like to self-cater. It's s-u-p-e-r well located for shopping, food, transport and sightseeing. We bought supplies across the road from El Corte Ingles, ate at the restaurant below the apartment, caught the metro and buses just around the corner (too easy) to get to attractions that were across the city. The location means it's a bit noisy at night (hey these are city sounds!) but this is far outweighed by the convenience it offers. We liked that we could so easily return to the apartment for some downtime between sightseeing activities. Friends recommended this apartment to us and we will to others. Thanks Fiona and Phil!
