Joan's apartment is simply perfect. It has everything you need for a great stay.
The location is ideal for travel to all tourist destinations on the Metro. There is no need to be worried about the Metro system, it is so easy to navigate around the city & so cheap! I would highly recommend a 5 day travel pass. We certainly made the most of it.
The restaurants close to the apartment are brilliant. A special shout out to GIGI's who served the most delicious tapas and sangria.
There are also loads of quirky brunch places within walking distance, you just need to have a search on google on the free Wi-Fi in Joan's apartment.
There is a small supermarket next door but also many more within walking distance.
The bar 'Balcony' next door is also a nice, quiet bar that doesn't get loud at night.
Joan is so helpful and friendly throughout your stay, nothing is ever any trouble and gives you all the useful information before you arrive.
The security for the apartment made us feel very safe.
We loved our stay in Barcelona and will definitely be recommending Joan's apartment to family and friends.
