We had a wonderful time in Barcelona. The arrangements for the flat were clear & simple, no prompting was needed & Merce provided some excellent local information. The flat was lovely, clean & simple but warm & homely. We had everything we needed for a week in the city. Little extras like umbrellas, transformer plugs were very helpful. The area is fantastic, very close to Camp Nou, with lovely bars patisseries & high end food shops with local supermarkets very close by. The tube was a 100 yards up the road which linked you to wherever you wanted to go, but mostly we walked as it was more enjoyable. We felt after a week that we were just getting to know the city! When we needed to get keys, or drop off keys, we were never without someone to talk to, & it all went very smoothly.
