A really lovely apartment in a great location, just minutes from Las Ramblas. Local shops include a small supermarket where you can get any provisions you may need. Apartment was spotless, light and airy, and beds were really comfortable. Bathrooms all had large walk-in showers with plenty of hot water constantly available. Our host, Maria, arranged our transport to and from the airport - the taxi driver was there on time and was very friendly and courteous. We were given early access to the apartment and were welcomed at the entrance by Maria's agent who showed us around and gave us two sets of keys - very handy for a group of 5 adults! We had a wonderful few days seeing Barcelona and loved the quiet but central location in which we stayed - so convenient for sightseeing. We walked everywhere so cannot comment on the metro which was just at the corner of our block - but it was good to know it was so close and convenient. We would definitely recommend this apartment and can't thank Maria enough for making us feel so welcome.
