We had a lovely stay at Vaishali's apartment this week. It was clean, comfortable and very well located. With the metro and tram just outside, we were able to get all over Barcelona with ease (just 10-15 minutes to get right into the centre of the city). The Diagonal Mar shopping centre was also very useful, because it meant we could get meals in the evening without having to venture into the centre of Barcelona if we didn't want to. There was a nice bakery underneath the apartment and the beach was a short walk through a park. One day we walked all the way down the beach right to Barceloneta, which was a great walk. We also ate at one of Vaishali and her husband's restaurant (Rangoli) and a few other places recommended by her. They were all great!

Finally, but certainly not least, Vaishali was a great host. She made us feel very welcome, gave us lots of advice, and was available throughout our trip to answer questions and help book things for us (taxis, restaurants, etc). If I ever return to Barcelona, I know where I'll be staying, and I would certainly recommend the apartment to my friends and family!
