Silvia welcomed me the minute I arrived, and had already sent a note checking on my arrival in Barcelona to make sure everything went well in my travel there. She also remembered many of the activities I had mentioned being interested in and had information ready, a map of where things were located and all her suggestions turned out to be perfect. Barcelona is a very busy city, with so much happening which is exciting but could be tiring, except that the location of this apartment is SO perfectly located. Minutes from so many of the best sights and districts (I walked almost everywhere, although the trains are close as well) and yet so quiet and peaceful to come back to at the end of the day. No earplugs required when sleeping there! Right behind the apartment (literally across the street) is the entrance to a large series of parks, gardens and fountains and I spent many evenings wandering there in the sunshine, away from the busier streets below. The beaches were also a short distance away, close enough to walk if you enjoy a short hike along wide ocean side walkways filled with joggers, tourists and bikes.

Finally, the suite itself was very clean, bright and comfortable complete with well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed and nice bathroom and shower. I can't think of a better place to enjoy the best of Barcelona! Thanks so much, Silvia :)
