First I have to say how much I appreciate Marisa’s communication! She had damage to the floors and instead of just cancelling (like 2 of mine in Paris) she made every effort to have the floors repaired for our arrival! I found Google translate app to be very helpful for Spanish/English translation and she was very responsive to questions. Her place is spacious enough for my husband and I , and 3 grown boys with comfortable beds(even the sofa bed.) Remember this is in the city so city noise is around, but also the benefits are close to shopping, bakeries, tapas bars, multiple choices for cafes and the amazing Sagrada Família! Also close to a metro station and bus stops so we travelled all over Barcelona during our stay. Just walked out our door for a couple blocks for anything! We came when it was HOT(of course it is July) so the AC was having a hard time keeping up. But grateful to have a little bit. Elevator access very nice, but we used the stairs to the 4th floor (6 flights for us Americans) to work off the local cuisine! Loved this place!
