This delightful apartment is just as it appears in the photos, and Laia was a kind and responsive hostess. We spent comfortable 6 nights there. The jacuzzi tub was especially welcome after a hot day of touring. Fresh clean towels were delivered mid-week, and an issue with the dishwasher was fixed promptly. Another bonus was that the apartment is stocked with toilet paper, so you don't have to run out to the store as soon as you arrive. Speaking of stores, there is a large Bonpreu market a block and a half away, and a wonderful little wine shop just steps from your door. While the apartment has all the major appliances needed, the cooking supplies are a little on the basic side. We cooked breakfasts and one simple dinner easily, though. Plenty of dishes. But this neighborhood is so full of restaurants that there's hardly any reason to cook. Our favorite was Vinitus on Carrer Del Consell de Cent, about 5 blocks away, for tapas. We also preferred the nearby quieter, more elegant Rambla de Catalunya to the crowded, touristy Rambla.
