Check in was so easy! I contacted Fiona when we were on our way to their place and Phil was there ready to check us in. They are very nice people. Their apartment was very clean and looked very much like the photos. It's a smaller apartment but we were out most of the day so that didn't bother us. We are a family of four with two grown teenagers and we were very comfortable, space-wise. The place does not have air-conditioning, however, they provide excellent fans for each room, which we greatly appreciated. Their place is conveniently located near the subway, a market, shops, and, most importantly, tapas! Oh, so many restaurants to choose from! Loved the food! You could, however, walk to most of the attractions in Barcelona, which we did. We truly enjoyed our stay!
