The apartment is run like a boutique hotel. We didn't get to meet the owner but met Ana, one of her team members who checked us in around siesta hour. She was so friendly and was always available when we needed help with something. Efficient, clean and perfectly situated close to Catalunya Parc. We walked almost every day, and the metro is just outside the door. The location of the apartment really gave us a chance to explore the local life of Barcelona as well, away from the more tourist driven spots. The neighbourhood offers an array of quaint and artistic cafes, and artisanal shops. What we loved best was the design of the apartment - so airy and bright. We loved chilling in the sunshine and people watching from the balcony. I only give it 4 stars, because the showers weren't working - the temperature of the water failed to adjust and we showered in cold water mostly which wasn't the most satisfying. But other than that, everything else was perfect, spot on.
