We have just returned after a fantastic week in Barcelona staying in this lovely spacious apartment. It is is exactly as described and the photos give a very accurate impression. It is situated in a traditional block of apartments on the chamfered corner of the building which gives all the main rooms a great outlook. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with everything we could have needed during our stay.

The location is fantastic, in a lovely block on Avenguda del Paral-lel. The metro station (Poble Sec) is literally twenty steps from the door, giving rapid access to the centre of the city and beyond. There are plenty of other modes of transport right on the doorstep also and for those who prefer to walk - La Rambla, Placa de Catalunya, Placa Espanya, the Gothic quarter and many other places of interest are a short interesting walk away. There are numerous lovely cafes and eating places close by, which are also much less expensive than those in the centre of the city.

Flor and Raoul are both extremely pleasant, accommodating and helpful - they answered any queries almost immediately and were a great source of information. They also offered to arrange a taxi to the airport for us on our last morning, which we were glad to accept.

One thing to be aware of, is that when the balcony doors are open it can be noisy - but then it is a busy vibrant city with lots going on in the area. It did not bother us and we enjoyed sitting watching the world go by with a glass of rioja or cava! However, when the balcony doors are closed the sound almost disappears and when the shutters and also discreet sliding patio doors on the outside of the bedroom balcony doors are used, the rooms are completely silent. We couldn't hear a thing and slept very well indeed.
I am very happy to recommend this apartment to anyone looking for somewhere to base themselves while visiting Barcelona! We will certainly stay there again :-)
