This was absolutely perfect for our very busy five-night stay in Barcelona. A short walk to the beach, Gothic district and Cuitadella park, seconds from Barceloneta Metro, with countless brilliant cafes, restaurants and shops nearby.

The apartment is exactly as described – it's well maintained, fully equipped, clean, comfortable, with good AC. It's a tight space for nine people, yes, but we managed fine and would happily do so again. Our favourite part of the apartment was the excellent roof terrace. The only (minor) complaint would be that there is no outdoor lighting, and so it can't really be used after sunset, however overall we loved the terrace.

The service and communication from Pia was great, always quick, and we were very pleased that Pia organised a late check out for us to accommodate our late flight home. We'll be back!
