We had an amazing time in Barcelona and staying at Maria's apartment definitely played a huge role in this. The apartment is lovely, it has everything you need and more. Very comfortable and clean! Maria emailed us lots of information beforehand about options to get to the apartment from the airport. And we received a very warm welcome at arrival. The location is also really great. Close to la Sagrada Familia and even closer to Hospital de Sant Pau I de la Santa Creu the best kept secret in Barcelona! There are many restaurants, tapas bars and shops in the neighbourhood. El Petit Firo was our favourite tapas bar! I have been many times in Barcelona and have now found my favourite place to stay!
