Our cruise arrived Barcelona at 8 am, we appreciate that Mariana offered us early check-in to the apartment. The unit is located on the 2nd floor of a gated building. On the 2nd floor, there is another set of secured door before you can reach the unit. The owner lives on the same floor. The security is good. The unit matches what we saw and read on the Airbnb site. Mariana is across the hall if you need help on local advice or how to operate any appliances.

Great location, walking distance to Paseo de Gracia street where you can find Antoni Gaudi’s Casa Batllo and La Pedrera. There are plenty of shopping you can do within 10 to 30 minutes walking distance i.e. along Las Ramblas, the Born neighborhood, etc. There are café, bakeries, coffee shops, and supermarket around the corner.
