This is a great apartment in the heart of Barcelona. The apartment itself is lovely - plenty of room for 4 unrelated adults with great light and all the necessities. It overlooks the street which is fun - yet is quiet at night. We loved this neighborhood - it is very diverse with fewer tourists, so we really felt like we were living in the city instead of visiting. And it is very close (10-15 minute walk) to the Ramblas, the Gothic quarter, the port and the base of Montjuic. Taxis and buses are easy to get for further destinations.

Alex, Javi and Pilar were terrific hosts - they reached out early and kept in touch as our visit approached. Pilar was very welcoming when we arrived and provided us with all the necessary information regarding the apartment and nearby public transportation options.
