Rosa and Nicolas are great!
All of their positive reviews are well deserved. The apartment is in an ideal location, within walking distance of some great restaurants, museums, and shopping. Other sites a bit farther out (Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, etc.) are easily reached via metro, and the nearest metro stop is less than a block away.
After a long day of sight seeing and walking, we always looked forward to coming back to the apartment to relax and rest for a bit before we headed out to dinner or another museum.
Rosa and Nicolas were available 24/7, which was very comforting! Happy to say there was we never had to wake them in the middle of the night, because everything went so smoothly, but a few days in we did have need for a doctor. Within 10 minutes of me emailing them they got back to me, and then a few minutes later emailed me with the address of the local hospital (only a 10 minute walk!). They then checked in later to see how my daughter was doing (it was simple sinus infection, but we did need medication).
They also arranged for a cab to take us to the airport. Not so easy when you need to ensure that the cab is large enough to hold 5 people and their luggage. The cab showed up on time, fit all of us comfortably and got us to the airport in record time.
Just an all around terrific experience. Having such a great home base really allowed us to enjoy our time in Barcelona!
Thanks again Rosa and Nicolas!
