We had a great stay. The apartment has nice beds, a well appointed kitchen, comfortable living room and a little patio in the back to escape the noise of the city. It is within walking distance of many of the cities famous sites and only 2 blocks from a metro station.
We were greeted by the host’s daughter who reviewed the apartment with us and gave us some helpful input on the area and getting around. We especially appreciated her advice on buying the T-ten metro/bus pass. It costs about ten euros and gives you ten one way tickets that can be used for multiple people. Nice if you walk somewhere then want a ride home.
We are two mature couples who have traveled together for a long time, this placed fit our wants and needs perfectly allowing us to really enjoy Barcelona.
