We had the most wonderful experience staying in this gorgeous apartment. We were warmly welcomed by Jorge (Marita's father) who explained everything we would need within the apartment as well as giving us some info about the area. The apartment itself is bright, clean and has everything you require for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The apartment is perfect if you want to cook for yourself and has everything you require (inc salt, pepper etc). The highlight of the place is the spectacular terrace which catches sun throughout the day. It is a perfect escape from the hustling city, with comfortable sofas and a great view over the stunning university building.

There are so many pros to this apartment. Personally, we couldn't have asked for a better location (as it was our first time in Barcelona this was a real bonus), the road is wide and feels extremely safe, but still only a short walk (max 5 mins) from Placa Catalyna and Las Ramblas. Being so central is it possible to walk to most places, approx 30 mins to the beach, and surrounded by some of the best tapas restaurants in the city!

If you are worried about the sofa bed, it is extremely comfy, spacious and in many ways compares to normal standard hotel beds. Furthermore, Marita and her farther are so kind and helpful, they even let us leave our bags with them after we checked out so we could enjoy our final day in barcelona without having to drag around heavy bags.

We have nothing but brilliant words to say about the apartment, Marita and Jorge, and will greatly miss the amazing terrace which would be hard to beat! Thank you so much for having us! Sally & Ben
