The apartment is pretty self-contained, as the pictures convey, and the location is fabulous - within walking distance of some iconic locations and really nice restaurants - and at the same time in a relatively quiet setting.
We didn't get to meet Maria and Eduardo when we checked in, but their friend Alejandro was very helpful in helping us settle in. There was a bottle of wine to welcome us, and some very helpful tips on enjoying the Barcelona experience.
We did get to meet Eduardo while checking out, and both he and Maria were kind enough to let us leave our luggage in the apartment for a couple hours past our check out time, which was very helpful.
Overall a very good choice, and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect stay in Barcelona.
