My girlfriend and I, both in our early twenties, booked to stay at Anna's apartment for 3 nights in April. We spent a long time choosing where to stay, and opted for Anna's apartment mainly because of the stylish appearance in the photos. On arrival, the apartment was even more wonderful than the pictures suggested. It is large and open plan, and kitted out with absolutely everything a young couple could want: from toiletries, TV, coffee-making equipment, a large fridge and freezer and very functional kitchen to more cups, mugs and plates than you could possibly ever need! The bottle of Cava Anna left in the fridge was a lovely touch also. The outdoor terrace was fantastic for that morning coffee before the daily sightseeing commenced, and for sitting with a glass of Rioja in the evening before going out for a meal. Overall the attention to detail was staggering - it is not only a beautiful apartment but so well-finished I am amazed we got it for the price we did!

The location isn't central, but we saw this as a real positive. There is a metro station within 5 minutes' walk of the apartment that takes you straight into the centre within a few stops, and for just a couple of Euros a trip. Because the apartment is not in the hustle and bustle we got a glimpse of life in a small Catalan community - one evening some locals even got together in the local square to set up tables and eat together! It is quiet and felt like a very safe area, but has some stylish local bars and restaurants if you'd prefer not to trek into the centre.

I cannot fault the apartment, location or hosting at all. We had a wonderful stay and have said that if we go back to Barcelona we will definitely return to Anna's apartment.

Gracias Anna!
