We had a great time at Akira's apartment in Barcelona. We were born and raised in Barcelona, but now live abroad; we go back to see family and friends regularly and this time we decided to stay in Diagonal Mar - this was an excellent idea. The location is great: not too far from the beach and just in front of a big commercial area with some great restaurants. It's a bit far away from the city center and main tourist attractions but it makes it less crowded and it's well communicated by public transportation. The apartment itself is very nice: welcoming living spaces, well equipped kitchen (where we cooked several meals), really nice garden space in the common area, with a beautiful pool and a good gym. Overall, great experience and we'll most probably be back!
