As with many other reviews, we had read prior to booking, this one is truly a 'great' place. No regrets. Fresh, homely apartment, in a very vibrant and safe neighbourhood.
Rosa was warm, sensitive, and thoughtful with the little extra touches.
Apartment and kitchen well equipped with necessary amenities - cutlery, toaster, coffee + tea maker, micro, washer, dryer, iron (with large board), TV, WiFi, etc., etc. No short-comings. The one single bathroom is a relative challenge :-), but likely a common feature with most Spanish apartments.
The 4th floor home is in a very 'practical' location: 2 stations ('Poble Sec' one-min walk to the right, and 'Paral-lel' 2-min walk to the left); more bakeries, supermarkets, pharmacies, under-the-tent eateries than you can count; 10 to 25 min (including walking time) max by metro to all the famous attractions - all located within Zone 1 on the Barcelona metro network - La Sagrada Familia, Passeig de Gracia (Casa Batillo and Casa Mila + all the lovely buildings and shopping), La Rambla (don't miss the fish/fruit/veggie market), Barceloneta (lovely beach and its idyllic surroundings), Plaza Catalanuya, Camp Nou (FCB Barcelona), Plaza Espana (15-min walk to this, the largest square, with its shopping mall, the magic fountain (against the back-drop of a palace dedicated to St. Jordi); and so much more!
Barcelona is fantastic, very convenient, and though Rosa's area has some nice hotels nearby, living in an apartment offers the opportunity to experience life as a local. Can't wait to do this all over again :-). All the best!
