Merce and Jepis’ place was fantastic! Very spacious, all the amenities you might need (perhaps a bit outdated for the more style conscious), and a great location. On our first trip to Barcelona, we were not sure if the location would be easy to get to and from. No problem! A minute to both the Metro station and numerous bus connections. Waking up and having coffee on the sun splashed terrace was a wonderful way to start the day, and a great way to end it as well. On premises laundry is a great way to save time and keep clothes fresh after long Barcelona walks. And this is a city that invites walking! Pepe, the property’s manager, was very helpful in helping us become familiar with the apartment’s functions and also had a wealth of info to help us acclimate to the city environs. The view from the terrace of the Joan Miro park and huge sculpture and the hills beyond was inspiring. The apartment is in a funky old building with a tight(seriously) elevator. Check out the ceiling murals in the entryway! One caveat: If you are a person of substantial girth, you will probably have some difficulty with the small shower stall. There is no tub. I’m 6 foot and about 190, and I found it rather cramped but absolutely manageable. All in all, we would not hesitate to stay again.
