My husband and I were delayed in arriving in Barcelona. Susana and I kept in touch and she was extremely accommodating to our needs. She met us at the apartment, showed us around, answered our questions and gave us keys after some simple paperwork. The apartment is in a perfect location; 2 short blocks from the Placa Catalanya, a 10 minute walk to the gothic quarter, Las Ramblas, etc. Great shopping up and down the street. A great cafe right around the corner that serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, tapas. The apartment was exactly as advertised. It is a large 1 bedroom with an American king sized bed (very hard to find in Europe). The bathroom has a separate tub and shower with a blow dryer that really works on thick hair. The kitchen has all the basics and the main area is comfortable after the long days of touring in Barcelona. Though the apartment is on the main road, the street noise is quite minimal and the window coverings keep the bedroom very dark. You won't be disappointed!!!
