The apartment is even better than the pictures show! Communication with Paul and Marta was excellent and they recommended some great restaurants. The location is ideal! It is very near two metro stops (Diagonal & Verdeguer) so getting anywhere in Barcelona is very easy. We also took day trips to Montserrat and Figueres and the metro was very easy to use to get to those stations. The neighborhood is inviting and a refreshing alternative to more touristy locations. It was the perfect size for our family of 3! Thank you so much, Paul and Marta, for a wonderful "home" in Barcelona!
