Mar was waiting for us when we arrived. She has a helpful booklet with detailed information about restaurants and markets, etc.

The apartment is exactly as described. It is clean, compact, and everything is convenient. The bed and couch are comfortable, and the shower is very good. The neighborhood is quiet a night. There are lots of little shops and markets, and tapas bars. Our favorite restaurant is "Federal," for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Two Metros are nearby, and the walk to the Ramblas takes only 10-15 minutes. There are 23 steps from the front door to the apartment, and there is no elevator. This can be an issue with someone carrying heavy luggage.
