The apartment is quite lovely, with special details to enhance the historic or traditional feel. Maria uses antique linens on the beds, and she provide for every need--hats for the sun, towels for the beach, phones for local communication, candles for the terrace, etc. If we ever thought of something that we might want, we discovered that Maria had anticipated our thought and had already provided what we wished for. The little details make a huge difference, but the bigger items were well considered also. The beds were comfy, the showers worked well, the kitchen was efficient and well supplied. This is a superb choice for any one wanting to visit Barcelona.
