With our two grown daughters meeting us in Barcelona, we were glad to have a 3-bedroom apartment with room for all of us.

The apartment was cozy but with enough room and a layout that provided privacy for everyone. The kitchen was well-stocked.

We were surprised that neither of the girls' bedrooms had windows; though they slept well in the darkness!

The neighborhood was terrific. A fruit and vegetable store, a bakery, and several convenience stores all within a block and a half radius. Two blocks away, there was a lovely open plaza with people sitting out in cafes day and night. It felt so much more authentic to stay in a real middle-class neighborhood rather than in a tourist location. We had a choice of several subway stops within a 5 to 10-minute walk. Barcelona is such a beautifully-designed, easy-going, food-friendly city to bop around in!
