Beautiful, comfortable and quite large apartment with great balcony views. Watching the local life in the square of a real Barcelona neighborhood was a treat. While the square can be a little noisy, closing the glass doors at night effectively shuts any noise out. Javier was great, allowing us early check in, meeting us on time, helping haul up the luggage, carefully showing us around the apartment, responding promptly to all emails and arranging a taxi to the airport. Walk to the subway is not bad at about six blocks. We couldn't have been happier with our stay here.
