We stayed over a week in this lovely stylish apartment off the Plaza Espana. It is easily accessible to wherever you would wish to go. As for check-in, Lluis' brother met me and gave me a run-down. We were in touch via Airbnb otherwise.
We walked to various areas of town or took the subway network when going further away. The apartment was very clean and stylish. We didn't get a chance to enjoy the private balcony or the pool (as we were out and about so much), but this is a lovely addition. There are many local businesses to do your shopping and for food. All in all, a perfect time in a beautiful city. Some added bonuses - such easy access from the airport and to Sants station (15 minute walk) for day trips. Thank you Lluis. We would stay here again in a heart beat.
