Over the years, we've rented a lot of homes and apartments all over the world. This place is one of the best. If you are reading this review now, just book it-- this apartment is fabulous. It is within walking distance to so many different places – – restaurants, shopping, and if you like walking (and we do) then you can also walk to the train station and to the beach. If you don't like walking, then those places are easy to get to with public transportation. But beyond that, this apartment makes a fabulous home base. It is clean, well decorated, and has absolutely everything that you and your family or your friends might need for a wonderful stay in Barcelona. Luis is a fantastic host – – he offered suggestions and was always there when we needed something. The area is safe, too-- I stayed here with my two children, and I never worried about walking in the neighborhood at night. I give this apartment my highest recommendation!
