We had a marvelous time at Merce's apartment. It has been beautifully upgraded with an excellently stocked kitchen, a roomy bathroom complete with jetted tub, a large bed, a nice living room area, a great secluded patio and washer/dryer available. The pictures of the apartment looked great and the reality lived up to it and more.

My interaction with Merce was great. She's very responsive & she always responded very quickly to me and when there was a problem getting the key returned for my deposit, she took care of it before I even made it home from Barcelona.

The neighborhood is a quiet, street-lined one. There's a great tapas place on the corner and the Les Corts metro stop is also right there -- about a 3-minute walk -- making it so easy to go anywhere in the city. There's a fresh fruit & vegetable store across the street & two grocery stores within easy walking distance. About a half-block away is a general merchandise store, where you can get anything you need.

I would stay here any time I was lucky enough to visit Barcelona.
