What a great place to stay in Barcelona, we loved it.
Pilar's apartment was clean and tidy with a great outside space that we used often for meals and relaxing. The apartment is up a narrow staircase that twists up 3 stories above the ground floor, there is no elevator, so if you have trouble with stairs this isn't the place for you. Having said that, it is well worth the climb to be up above the traffic and into the calm zone.
Facilities in the apartment are great, plenty of cutlery, pots pans, a coffee machine, juicer, etc. This is Pilar's city place, it's not just a holiday rental place, so you can cook, do laundry, even iron stuff if you really want to. There's a big fridge freezer microwave, a hob and oven plus lots of glassware.
The location is great, 2 minutes walk gets you to a nice bakery, a really well priced supermarket and Girona Metro station. We used the Metro a lot, the T10 ticket is the one to get, 10 Euro for 10 journeys and you can share it amongst your group.
Pilar was hard to get hold of at first as she was travelling but when she returned she was very helpful with advice and directions. She was there to greet us as when we arrived and came round once to water her plants but only after checking it was OK with us.
We would definitely recommend Pilar's apartment if staying in Barcelona and if we come back, we'll certainly try and get this place again.
