Paco and Catherine both greeted us so warmly upon our late arrival on a very rainy night. The apartment is exactly as pictured, only even more beautiful because of the cleanliness, gracious amenities, neighborhood views and ideal location immediately next door to Gaudi's Casa Batllo. We were two couples who very much appreciated the large living/dining area to return to after a full day of sightseeing. We also loved having two spacious bedrooms and bathrooms with plenty of storage areas for unpacking rather than living out of a suitcase which often is the case in small urban hotel rooms. All of Paco's supplies and amenities were pristine and plentiful -- towels and linens, cookware, dishes, everything to make our stay supremely comfortable. The apartment is situated directly across from the metro and taxi stands so getting around town was a breeze. I would hope to stay at Paco's place if we are fortunate enough to return to Barcelona!
