Beautiful, authentic Barcelona apartment in one of the best neighborhoods in town -- full of bars, restaurants and shopping and an easy walk to many other areas of town. This apartment had the charm of an old Barcelona home, but all of the modern necessities including very good A/C and great showers. There was enough space for 8 guys to spread out and be comfortable. Julia, the owner, was a pleasure to work with from the initial email until the final day of our stay. Her mother even made us breakfast (and drank some cava with us) upon our arrival -- the perfect welcome after our red-eye flight. I would absolutely recommend this place to any family or group looking to visit Barcelona.
