Kate's home was spacious, clean, well stocked with everything we needed, great location and quiet from street noise. It is located in the less busy, high end shopping area of Eixample. It's a short walk to the Sagrada Familia and some of the most expensive shopping available. We loved the area b/c it was quiet and away from the more hectic Ramblas street. Apartment is perfect for a family. 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms- we had 5 ppl and could easily have fit more comfortably. A/C is great for the 34+degree heatwave that Barcelona was having. Also a combined washer/dryer helped to pack less for the trip. Kate supplied us with a really nice selection of groceries upon our arrival...milk, wine, water, crackers, chips and cookies. Also a Nespresso machine, which I loved! She was also very responsive to my emails...within a few hours if I needed anything. My plane was late and luggage lost, but Kate and Ivan were patient until we could get to the apartment. I would recommend her apartment and hospitality to anyone vacationing in Barcelona.
