We had a wonderful stay for 5 weeks in Valerie’s apartment- 2adults and 2 children. We were visiting the city as tourists, so the location was ideal, with La Ramblas and Placa Catalunya a 10 min walk. There is a metro stop 3 min walk from the apartment (L2) with direct link to Sagrada Familia, and connections to all other lines, although we only used a couple of times because of how close we were to everything. We spent a lot of time in Barceloneta, this was a 30-40 min walk through the historic gothic quarter then a stroll along the scenic marina. The local area has loads of restaurants and bars, and playgrounds for smaller children. One parent was working from home and the apartment was big enough with working desk in one room to facilitate this. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for meal preparation. Valerie was a great host, she was responsive to our questions and when we asked about one or two things in the apartment she had her friend call in to help us. We needed a late check in and early check out and both were no problem for her to arrange. We are hoping to return to Valerie’s apartment in the near future.
