If this is your first time to Barcelona and you are looking for excellent access to both a very popular beach as well as so many delicious restaurants, plus a very short walk to a very nice food market, and you are looking for an exceptionally clean apartment, this place is it! While the apartment itself does not offer a view towards the ocean or anything else significant, the layout is good, the apartment was clean and I have not worked with a host yet that has been so incredibly responsive to all of our needs. Somewhat tight space for living but the five of us were very comfortable in this apartment. We look forward to a return visit to the same part of the city as well as staying with this host once again! Thank you Marc for all your help and kindness! Ric & Jill Becker
