Laura was most responsive, helpful, kind, cheerful communicator from first contact to throughout the stay. The location couldn't have been better. Very convenient to get to from the Airport--last Aerobus stop, Pl Catalunya, is within few minutes walk, so no problems if jet-lag put you to sleep in the bus. Best main street to go East-West in BCN, Gran Via de les Corts Catalans, and of course La Rambla to go North-South are both right there. Within walking distance to all central BCN spots. Bus and metro stops, cafe's, taverna, shops, bakeries, the best wine bar in BCN, some really fine restaurants, all in the neighborhood. El Corte Inglés, THE department store whose B1 food floor is my favorite place for gift shopping is right there at Pl Catalynyua. The apartment was well equipped, charming, and comfortable. The biggest challenge was trying to figure out which was shampoo vs rinse vs body soap with labels in Spanish. Thank you for a wonderful stay Laura!
