From the point of booking all the way through our stay, Juanmi was a fabulous host—courteous, helpful, and communicative. We chose the apartment in part for its stunning views over Barcelona, and it did not disappoint. The morning and evening panoramas were highlights of our trip. Inside, the accommodation met all of our needs; our two kids especially loved the child-friendly room with bunks. Between the AC and the automatic blinds, the apartment was always cool and provided an oasis from the midday heat. While at street level the neighborhood buzzed at all hours, inside remained quiet (in fact, we never saw another resident on our floor during the entire four-day stay). If you’re looking to shop or take in some of the top sights, this will be a great base in Barcelona. Our one minor disappointment was lack of access to fresh groceries (without fighting the crowds at Placa Catalunya); smaller, well appointed food stores or sidewalk stands are harder to find in this area dense with restaurants and department stores. But overall, we loved this apartment and highly recommend it to families and other travelers to Barcelona.
