I went to Barcelona with my husband, his parents and our two teenagers for a week in March. The apartment was perfect for the six of us. It was clean, spacious, in a wonderful neighborhood and a very good price. One of the showers was on the small side but I think showers are generally smaller in Europe compared to America. The metro was only two blocks away and there was a great bakery on the way where we stopped for breakfast and coffee most mornings. We rented a car the last few days of our trip to explore the countryside and we found an affordable parking garage only a few blocks away. Every night we walked to restaurants nearby for dinner and felt very safe walking in the neighborhood at night. Frederic and his staff were very friendly and helpful and suggested a few restaurants that ended up being our favorites - Il Piccolo Focone and L'Oliva. There were also several small grocery stores and fruit/vegetable stands nearby that were convenient. We had a wonderful trip and will definitely recommend this apartment to any of our friends traveling to Barcelona in the future.
