From the moment I booked, there was great communication between Phil and Fiona. They sent out an email to ask for our Arrival Information so that they knew when we would be checking in, and also offered a website with a bunch of amazing restaurant/cafe suggestions (definitely utilise this! We ate a lot of good food while we were there thanks to this list!). I called Phil when we were en route from the airport and he was very friendly, welcoming and ready with the keys when we got to the apartment.
The apartment itself is fabulous and just as pictured in the listing. The balcony is a great feature and we definitely enjoyed a few glasses of wine out there a couple of nights during our stay before going out to dinner. (We did have an issue on our first day with the balcony door not only locking, but actually staying closed. My husband got in touch with Phil right away and he was very helpful and in touch with us throughout the week about it.) Since there were 3 of us (my husband and I, and our friend), it was so great to have two full bathrooms and two 'sitting rooms' as well. We didn't utilise the kitchen too much, but there was plenty of kitchenware if you want to cook a full meal, etc.
In terms of location, it's ideal! We walked literally EVERYWHERE during our stay. We wore comfortable shoes and are all fairly active 30-32 year old's, so it is a great spot if you don't want to deal with public transport/cabs. Plus with the amount of food we ate, 20 min walks were sometimes welcome! Closest landmark location is Casa Batlló, I think it took us less than 10 mins to walk there.
Overall, I would highly recommend booking this apartment if you see it's available!
