Was met by Roberto, (Antonio's partner) who was extremely helpful, allowing us early entry to the apartment as we had come in by cruise ship to the port early in the morning. Roberto also provided maps and suggestions for local restaurants and grocery shopping. The apartment is as shown in the pictures, spacious and well presented. The location was excellent. We walked everywhere but it was also close to the metro if you want to catch the train. It is only a short 10-15 minute walk to Placa de Catalunya and a 20-25 minute walk to La Sagrada Familia. One of the best features of the apartment is the sun-room where we sat to have our morning coffee and watch Barcelona awake to start the day. The apartment was well equipped with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The only downside was the lack of tea, coffee, milk and other start up items. We had to go out to the supermarket to stock up. OK when arriving in the day but not convenient if arriving at night. Recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a hotel alternative in Barcelona.
