The apartment was even better than I expected from the description and photos. The terrace with its views was particularly pleasant on a sunny afternoon. Everything was clean and well-equipped, and Ricard clearly took pride in offering a comfortable and charming place to stay. Lots of stairs up if you'd like to work off some of your delicious Barcelona meals, but also a small elevator if you need to bring up a suitcase or some groceries. Easy access to the Rocafort metro, and just a slightly longer walk to Espanya. A good market with extended opening hours is available a block away to bring in provisions. Highly recommended.
