We cannot overstate how much we enjoyed staying at this apartment and how much we appreciated Marta's hospitality. We are family of 4 (kids 5 and 8 y/o) and the apartment was perfect for our needs in terms of location and size. The apartment is close to the metro and P. de Gracia train station and is 1/2 block from Rambla Catalunya and otherwise walkable to most of primary sites (10-25 min), dozens of restaurants and markets (2 min). It is tastefully furnished and feels like a home (as opposed to some Airbnb's that feel more staged), with a little balcony that opens to a rear courtyard (not the street). Marta was incredibly communicative before and during our visit to ensure we arrived safely and that we were comfortable during our stay; she provides a useful folder with recommendations to help sort out all of the dining and shopping options. The kitchen was well stocked, including with tea, coffee, spices etc. (though we didn't really cook). We note that our (young) kids shared one of the double beds, and that might not work for all families. The bedrooms are on opposite ends of the apartment and both have good A/C coverage. Again we highly recommend staying at this apartment.
