So much good to report. Gisele's hospitality is wonderful. She gave us many tips on places to eat and helped us with a lot of details. The apartment is well located, spotlessly clean, and is stocked with helpful things for travelers like maps, a binder of restaurant ideas, salt/coffee/detergent, and other extras. We were able to walk to many fine restaurants and gelato shops. Shopping for breakfast items was easy because there were so many little shops near the apartment. We were able to walk to many of Barcelona's biggest tourist sites, however, we often took a taxi one way, usually at the end of the day. We are in our 60s and found that 4-5 miles per day was enough walking for one day. We loved having a washer/dryer in the apartment! The dishwasher was just icing. Would we stay here again? Absolutely. We liked being able to walk to so many plazas and restaurants, and we felt safe too. Be prepared that Barcelona charges a head tax for hotel and AirBnB guests. It's about $2.50 per day per person. You will have to pay after check-in.
