Simply Stunning
The apartment is wonderfully spacious with two large double bedrooms, a great and well-equipped kitchen, two bathrooms and a sitting/dining room, ideal for meals and relaxation. A dozen steps up on the first floor but with a lift for those with bags
The location couldn't have been better for me. It is in the historic "gothic" area only a few yards from the bustle of La Rambla and a five minute walk to the sea. The nearest Metros are 5 or 8 mins on foot and the Placa Catalunya - with buses to and from the airport - is two Metro stops or 10 mins away on foot.
But in spite of being in a busy area with its numerous restaurants and bars, the apartment is blissfully quiet. It provided me with a great base for reading and writing.
The hosts have refurbished the apartment with care and great taste. They couldn't have been kinder or more responsive. Joel's online handbook is a model for Airbnb apartments.
But this apartment is a model for Airbnb apartments too
