This was a beautiful apartment! I can't emphasise enough how perfect the location of this apartment is. It is within immediate walking distance of many lovely restaurants, supermarkets and cafes, as well as Place de Catalunya, the start of Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter. There is a taxi rank outside and around the corner is the entrance to the metro as well as a stop for the open-top tourist buses. The apartment was very clean, light and spacious. We loved the balcony and the lovely views from the private sitting room off one of the bedrooms. Maria greeted us on arrival and she was very responsive to our messages.
