Anna was extremely helpful, friendly & welcoming. She even went out of her way to meet us ahead of time to let us store one of our bags while we travelled to Tossa de Mar, 5 days before renting her apt. She & her husband met us when we arrived, showed us how to work the stove, lock the door & everything else we needed to know about the apt. They provided us with a map of Barcelona along with a subway guide and recommended several seafood restaurants & where we could shop locally for groceries. Both Anna & her husband were ectremely friendly & made us feel at home.
The apt. is ideally located in a nice, safe neighbourhhod within walking distance of the old town, Plaza Catalunya where the airport bus stop is located, the Arc de Triomphe and the Sagrada Familia cathedral. There are restaurants & cafes & convenience stores nearby.
The apt. itself is small, but well equipped with a modern kitchen & bathroom. But the terrace more than makes up for the small size of the apt. On the top floor of the building ( there is a small elevator to get you within one floor of it), the terrace provides long views in every direction, a breeze to cool you from the heat of the sun along with a nice big canopy to provide some shade. There is a comfortable outdoor couch, a small eating table for three, a lounge chair to sun on & plenty of room to do yoga as my wife enjoyed each day we were there. It feels like an oasis in the middle of busy Barcelona, particularly since there are plenty of plants & even a fig tree to provide some greenery. If you have good weather as we did, you don't feel like leaving the place, it is such a wonderful place to relax.
To top off our stay, Anna met us at 7:15 a.m. to say goodbye & to drive us the six long blocks to Plaza Catalunya to catch the airport bus for our flight home.
I highly recommend this apt as a place to stay while in Barcelona.
