This apartment was 5 stars all the way- Irene was very responsive from the start, we really liked the location, the apartment was clean and well appointed and the balcony was lovely and bigger than we expected. The bed was comfortable as well. A real bonus was that on the same street, we found two exceptional restaurants, Lascar and La Platilleria (both of which probably need a reservation, even in early November). It was a huge plus to pop out the door of Irene's lovely place and find a great spot to eat, steps away. We would happily return to this apartment the next time we are in Barcelona.
