Beautiful apartment, great location, wonderful experience. Communication with Patricia was great from beginning to end. Ivan ( Patricia's friend) offered us great advise on check in- such as the best value metro tickets, local attractions, restaurant tips etc. The apartment is in a really "hip" area and is well worth a morning or evening's exploration. Access to the other areas of Barcelona is easy either on foot, bus or metro. My daughter and I had a great 5 day stay. Will certainly be coming back again soon.
