Anna Maria’s apartment is WONDERFUL! We loved staying there and hated to leave. It was a perfect size for a couple. It was very clean and stylishly furnished. The rooftop patio was amazing and a special oasis to return home to after a busy, hot August day in the crowds. The queen bed was very comfortable and the room cozy and quiet, a perfect sleeping space. There were lovely plants outside the windows and on the rooftop which made the space even more serene. We hardly heard any noise from neighbors in the building and the space felt very private and secluded for being in the middle of the city. The patio had a wonderful outdoor shower (in addition to the indoor one) which was very refreshing and relaxing after a long day. The apartment has excellent air conditioning, which was especially important given how hot it was when we were in Barcelona. The units were in each room and could be controlled individually. They were very efficient and effective. The apartment is central and is steps away from several restaurants and easy walking distance to many sites such as museums, architecture, parks, live music. There is an organic grocery store a couple of doors down from the building and a more conventional grocery in the next block. The neighborhood felt safe and people were out walking the streets until late at night. Taxis were extremely easy to find right out front at all times of the day and night. Anna Maria and her husband met us at check in and were very kind and thorough in explaining the apartment and getting around in Barcelona. They provide guide books and maps as well. We could also reach them quickly if we had any questions.
