The apartment is perfectly situated for its easy access to the whole Barcelona. Cristina was out of the country on the day we arrived but left detailed instructions for us and her housekeeper, who welcomed us and showed us around. The apartment is spacious, bright and perfectly suited us - two couples - for a week's stay. It has a lovely courtyard area which we enjoyed a quiet afternoon relaxing in the sunshine, reading and sipping wine we bought from the excellent local wine shop. It is minutes walk from restaurants, bars, supermarkets and assorted other shops you might need or want to visit. There's a fantastic food market just up the hill. All in all Cristina's apartment is a perfect venue for an easy, relaxed stay in wonderful Barcelona. We will be back!
