This is an absolutely lovely apartment and Sara is a wonderful host. The apartment is less than 5 minutes walking to Passeig de Gracia and great shopping and about 10 minutes walking to Plaça Catalunya and the Rambla. There are great restaurants all around this area. The apartment is close to public transit and although on a major street it is extremely quiet. The apartment itself is very clean and tastefully decorated in the Barcelona minimalist style. The terrace is large and a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing, shopping, the beach, etc. the bead is very comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped, and the bathroom is very clean. Perhaps, the best part about this apartment is that it has a full size shower. We stayed in three other European cities and three other apartments and this is the first to have a full size shower rather than the tiny European shower stalls. Sara is a great host, she maintained communication and met us upon arrival. She takes great pride in maintaining her apartment and as a result it is clean, well maintained and equipped nicely. I would recommend this apartment for anyone who wants to be close to everything Barcelona has to offer, is interested in a clean apartment, enjoys outdoor space, and wants to take a quality shower during your stay.
