What a wonderful apartment, and lovely hosts! The apartment is in a classic Barcelona building and has been beautifully remodeled, while maintaining its original character - the ceilings have Catalan arches that have been a staple of Catalan architecture for centuries - and they have been lovingly preserved while the rest of the apartment has been modernized to 21st century standards. There is a small but very well-equipped kitchen along with a washer and dryer (unusual in this city) and an elevator and air-conditioning, which was extremely welcome in the heat. The apartment is very quiet, thanks to the new windows and thick brick walls. The beds were the most comfortable we've encountered in Catalonia! Despite our late arrival, Gemma and Luis were there to greet us, and were wonderful. There were small and thoughtful touches all around, including chocolates for us. I could go on, but we couldn't be more delighted and would love to stay here again!
