This space was ideal in every way. The apartment is advertised accurately and it is gorgeous, spacious, clean, modern, open... everything that you would want.
The location is also phenomenal— right in the heart of the city and a short walk to every point of interest and every neighborhood in Bcn. Being from NYC, the location of this apartment reminded me of midtown Manhattan by Tiffany and Central Park (without any of the traffic or noise). Legitimately it was perfect. Whether you were walking to another neighborhood, or taking the train or the taxi, everything was literally right there and accessed easily.
The person who checked us in and out, Marisa, was also AMAZING. She had a great personality and warmth and explained to us where we might want to go and gave us a great dining recommendation. She was super easy to communicate with and questions, and she always responded quickly and genuinely.
On a scale of 10, I would give this apartment an 11. My standards are high and all of them were met via these hosts and this apartment. Thank you Willem and Marisa for helping me have a lovely stay in Barcelona.
