This apartment is absolutely amazing! It is as advertised - spacious, beautiful and clean! The location is unbelievably central - we walked everywhere in less than 15 minutes - the beach, Las Ramblas, the Gothic quarter, hop on hop off bus, cathedrals, museums. Right outside the door are many supermarkets, restaurants, shops, squares - everything! It could not be a more perfect location for taking in all the sights of beautiful Barcelona! Ilià responded immediately with all the information we needed and his mother was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Barcelona - staying in a large apartment in a trendy neighbourhood is so much better than being in a hotel room and much better value for your money!
