We were warmly welcomed by Marieangeles and her husband, the caretakers for the apartment. They are truly delightful people! The apartments itself is spacious, very clean and comfortable. It is in a great location: near a subway line that will take you to a large number of tourist destinations and near a really nice beach. We enjoyed being in this neighborhood very much. The parking situation worked out well for us, but we were a bit nervous that our VW Multivan would not fit under the overhang at the entrance of the free parking area behind the apartment. It did but with only a centimeter to spare--had we backed through it, there would have been more clearance. We were a bit worried about the van because it is new and the parking lot is a bit trashy, but we completely emptied the van and nothing bad happened. I should note that when we arrived on Sunday, there was plenty of parking, but the lot was often full to the brim during the weekdays. There are paid parking garages not far away, though. Frederic helped us arrange to have Marieangeles make us paella and sangria for our first night in town, and it was truly marvelous to enjoy a great meal in the comfort of the apartment after a long day of traveling. So much so that we arranged to have Marieangeles cook for us again a few nights later. Frederic was very responsive to inquiries and made every effort to ensure a good stay for us. We will happily stay here again if we return to Barcelona...which we hope to do.
