Silvia's apartment is a very nice space in central Barcelona very close to a convenient metro station and within walking distance of may restaurants, bars and supermarkets.
An impeccable host, Silvia's friend met us to help get our car into the convenient private (and secure) parking space and then showed us around the apartment and explained everything we needed to know in detail. There were even some light provisions for us to use in the fridge. The apartment is large and in traditional Barcelona block style with a private balcony overlooking the block inner spaces. It was very clean with fresh towels and linens provided. There was even easy to use air-conditioning which was very welcome in the Spanish summer heat after visiting so many sights. Overall a very agreeable stay in a lovely apartment.
