This property defies expectations! First, location: can't get much closer to La Sagrada Familia (unless you reside in one of it's towers!), with easy access to public transit & therefore all Barcelona. Second, building: historical, yet fully modernized (elevator scary small to us Americans, but I can use the exercise anyways!). Third, apartment: huge (especially for the cost, can sleep 6, 7 if use sofa!), fully modern touches (superb shower, heated towel/clothing rack, modern kitchen incl. Krup expresso machine, large TV with cable Amazon Fire Stick/other compatible, fast Wi-Fi, outdoor balcony for smoking Cuban cigars illegal in U.S., etc). Fourth, host Jose: communicated quickly, met us earlier than typical for in-person check-in, & friendly. In other words - Bravomisimo!!
