This apartment is wonderful! Phil and Fiona were vacationing when we arrived, so we didn't get to meet them - but we were definitely greeted and welcomed by their friend. The neighborhood is perfect, and easy walks to the Parallel metro stop, the Gothic Quarter and even only a block or so from to road to Montjuic. The walk up the stairs wasn't so bad - but for any Americans - just remember that the fifth floor is really the sixth floor in Europe! We had everything we needed here - with such a beautiful balcony for morning coffees and pre-dinner cocktails. A perfect apartment in Barcelona!! Thank you!!!!
