Ana Maria and her husband Jordi were there to greet us with a large basket of fruit in hand. They are incredibly nice and fantastic hosts. Everything that was needed was there and any communication with them was quick.

If you are looking for a very busy, noisy, touristy, this place is not for you.

The apartment location is great if you want to experience a bit more of the city's culture with less saturation of tourists and noise. It is a block away from a main thoroughfare, with in walking distance of the city's main train station and the two main metro trains. The view from the balconies is awesome, especially now that they just completed the beautifully landscaped promenade, where you see the local families, couples and kids just enjoying the avenue.
The market and many other stores are just down the street.

The apartment is fully updated and yet they were able to keep some of the original structure, especially those beautiful 100 year old floor tiles.

I highly recommend this apartment especially for long stays, since Barcelona has so much to offer.

I'll be back!
