FABULOUS APT!!! And GREAT location!! Michele's apt was SO clean & modern with great bathrooms and a very nice kitchen. It even had a separate laundry room with a washer & drying racks which was very nice. (No dryers in Europe!) The beds were amazingly comfortable(firm) and there was plenty of seating in the living room. While it didnt have a city street view, the windows/doors on the balcony did open onto a common courtyard with a small patio table & chairs. Very nice & quiet spot for morning coffee. We where very close to the Arc de Triomp metro station, Placa de Catalunya, Santa Caterina Market & even the top of Las Ramblas. We walk to most of our sites. Peter met us at check in, and took plenty of time explaining the apt and rules to us. He even gave up local tips about markets close by & warnings about pick pockets in touristy places. It was a very safe area and we never worried about coming in later at night. The only thing I would caution about, is if you are not from Spain, you need to know your Spanish holidays!! We were charged an EXTRA 30euros when we checked in(added to the Catalunya guest tax we had to pay Peter)as we checked in on a Monday, which was the Catholic Holiday of Pentecost. Although we would not have changed our plans, it would have been nice if Michele had messaged us to let us know it was a holiday. Otherwise our stay was perfect!! Would definitely stay there again and HIGHLY recommen
