The flat is compact but had everything we needed, and the location was a real bonus. Less than 10 minutes to the Sagrada Familia, and the next day an ambitious walk down Paseo de Gracia to Plaza de Catalunya and onwards down Las Ramblas to the waterfront.

Laura was a delightful host, with real effort made to ensure we had a good stay in Barcelona. She steered us to a truly excellent place nearby for tapas and was very personable.
