Phil and Fiona's apartment is fantastic clean, modern, spacious, and well stocked with towels etc. Great communication from Phil and Fiona throughout the whole process too, and Phil came out to meet us as soon as we'd arrived in Eixample - and what a lovely chap he is too!
Great amenities - handy little kitchen, two bathrooms with great showers, fans in the bedrooms, and really useful to have the aircon to come back to after a hot day pounding the Barcelona streets. Oh, and our kids were delighted to make use of the wifi of course! There's a dvd player tucked away in the cupboard too, should anyone want to bring something to watch of an evening.
The apartment is in a superb location - easy walking distance to lots of Barcelona's attractions, and various Metro stations nearby for trips further afield. The RENFE airport train stops at Passeig de Gracia too, only 5-10 mins walk from the apartment, making the transfer easy and cheap.
There are plenty of shops and supermarkets within one or two blocks, and a fabulous gourmet croissant cafe a few paces from the front door.
As the pictures show, the view from the balcony is delightfully quirky - the water tower in the communal area is a wonderful thing to open the curtains to each morning. The splash pool in this area is no longer in use, unfortunately, though I'm not sure how often we'd have used it anyway.
We chose really well, picking this apartment, and can highly recommend it!
