Laia's penthouse apartment is as awesome as advertised! The terrace is amazing, the furnishings are stylish and comfortable, and the rainwater shower is a joy; but perhaps the best thing about the apartment is Laia's willingness to set you off on the right path for exploring the city. She prepared a little guide book with maps and recommendations of restaurants, local attractions, grocery stores, really anything you need. She lives in the apartment building next door, and she responded very quickly to our text messages anytime we had a question. We were staying in Barcelona for 5 days as part of our honeymoon, and she thoughtfully gave us a bottle of bubbly and a cake to help celebrate. The kitchen is very well stocked and the bed is comfortable. The location is fantastic, within walking distance of most of the major attractions. If you stay for a few days, don't miss catching a concert at the nearby Palau de la Musica Catalana. The apartment is on the top floor and there is a small elevator that takes you up and down, but there is a small staircase leading up to the elevator from the lobby, so if you have heavy luggage be ready to carry it up that short flight. Laia was nice enough to help us with our bags. Overall, this a really great property and Laia is an excellent host. We would surely stay here again!
