We had a wonderful week at Mires' apartment. Mires was there to greet us when we arrived. It was great to be able to coordinate so we were able to come directly from the airport. The apartment is in a great location--close to several Metro stops, a huge market, wine stores, super markets, bakeries, and a little vegetable shop next door that always seemed open! We dropped our stuff and dashed off to the bustling Saturday market scene. What a great way to meet Barcelona. The apartment was perfectly fine. Simple and tidy. The terrace was the highlight. We had most of our meals on the terrace. The furniture was a little different than the pictures, but it was fine.
