Our stay at Mari's apartment was perfect. We were arriving from the airport and Mari communicated with us the whole time to ensure we arrived safely. When we did get there Mari greeted us with hugs and a huge warm smile (and wine and chocolates!) and told us all about Barcelona and the best places to see/eat/drink. The apartment itself is absolutely stunning and exactly as the photos show. Beautifully renovated, quiet (very good glazing on the windows, which you can open and watch the bustle below if you like), comfortable and spacious. It's on the first floor and has a lift so it's easy to access with bags. We wished we were able to say goodbye to Mari on our last day, but we were busy sightseeing. She really made us feel like we were visiting an old friend and we would not hesitate to come back in a heartbeat. The location is amazing basically next to the Sagrada Familia, and easy access to metro and bus lines for getting around. Thank you, Mari!
