We had a perfect stay in Barcelona and one of the reasons for that was Anne´s apartment. Apartment looks just as in the pictures. It´s located in probably the most beautiful part of Barcelona. After a day of sightseeing and some night life, coming back "home" in very quiet place with air con to recharge your energy - you will be comfortable here. The street Rambla Catalunya which I had not known before is much better, authentic and residential than the Paseo de Gracia which is just one street away (parallel) where you find literally around the corner some of Barcelona´s main attractions (Casa Battlo, Casa Mila among otheres). We were pretty amazed by that... Metro station is a couple of minutes walk at the left of the building. The whole area is full with the restaurants and bars, beautiful buildings and landscaped streets. Someone said that lack of store is a problem which turned out to be a wrong information. One street away you find a residential area with supermarkets, normal stores etc. (besides Paseo de Gracia´s flagship stores). It takes 5 minutes to walk to the first real supermarket. Apartment is well-equipped with all you need for your stay, for example, if you plan to buy groceries on the market to cook your dinner yourself We loved the stylish antic elevator in the building which has a doorman. We didn't have chance to meet Anne since she was traveling for work, but her friend received us in the apartment to do the check-in with us. Anne is very nice and quickly respond to all your messages. Anne also sent us a customized guide with here personal tipps and favorite place which we appreciated very much. We were very sad for getting back home - and would definitely recommend this apartment!!! See you next year again, Anne!!!
