This was my husband's and my first visit to Barcelona. When we travel we like to visit local markets and prepare a few meals. Marcos had a well-equipped and relatively spacious kitchen that suited our needs. The living area worked well both for dining and watching television. The sleeping area had ample storage and a comfortable bed. The bathroom was spacious and well-lit. As many others have commented, the apartment was spotlessly clean, without clutter. Marcos was a marvelous host; he let us check in early which is so appreciated after a sleepless overnight flight from the US. He checked with us to make sure all was well during our stay. The location was convenient to metro, supermarkets, and non-touristy restaurants.
