Mariana’s apartment is situated in the perfect location. It is spacious, comfortable and very secure. It has all the necessary furniture and equipment needed for a group of up to 7 or 8, since the apto a huge daybed in the main living area. From there, we walked to Catalunya Plaza more than once, since that is where the main tourist information booths are located and transportation (Hop on, Hop off) buses pick up and leave guests. The apartment is also surrounded by restaurants, small cafes and entertainment. Barcelona is a beautiful city that does not sleep. It reminded me a little of New York City without the history and architecture that this city offers. It is one of its kind, found no where else. You can find yourself walking in the nearby streets at wee hours of the night and not feel threatened in any way. Mariana and Maritza (the apartment caretaker) provided the assistance and information necessary for a spectacular vacation. I recommend it a 100%; the best!
