We really loved being in the heart of the city. Last time we stayed in Barcelona it was in the Eixample, which was fun in it's own way, but we were right in the center of things this time. We enjoyed all of the restaurants and being able to walk to everywhere. When we ventured further afield, there were busses and taxis aplenty on Via Liatanna, and the Jaume 1 metro was also very convenient. The apartment has an excellent shower and a very comfortable bed, the two most important things! It is also rare to find an apartment in the city center with so much light. Being on the plaza really brightens the place, although a screen on the balcony railing would provide a bit more privacy. We enjoyed our interactions with Margarita. Everyone was very responsive whenever there was a question from booking to departure.
