This apartment was very comfortable for my family of three. my daughter decided to come with my husband and i last minute and Mike made it work for us. He was so accomadating and very kind to email us places to eat as well as to see in Barcelona. This area was more local than tourist, but that was want we wanted to experience in Barcelona. Lots of bars and restaurants in this area as well as markets and shopping. Easy to get taxis too (about 7 euros) if you want to go to the main tourist area for shopping or you can walk as well. Overall, this place was very clean and modern.
