We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night, trip to Barcelona. The apartment is the perfect base to explore an amazing city. Maria and her husband were very helpful from the start. Although we arrived late at night they were there to greet us and show us around the apartment. The apartment has everything you need, including some dry food essentials in the cupboard and Maria even left us a bottle of cava and some chocolates. Our girls loved sleeping on the large sofa bed. We found the flat very comfortable and in a great location to explore the city. (It is up a steep hill so we recommend getting a taxi there with your luggage). We walked miles and found it was the best way to see things. However, we did use the open top bus and the train to go to Vilanova and Sitges, which was easy to use. We will definitely be recommending Maria's apartment to our friends and family and plan to visit Barcelona again soon.
