Arama & Jordi were absolutely wonderful hosts! Emails were answered promptly. The apartment was in a great, safe location with many grocery and fruit stores, and restaurants within easy walking distance. The metro stop was just steps around the corner. The apartment was very clean and everything looked new. We were especially happy to see the washing machine in the kitchen. The bed was full size and very comfortable. Arama and Jordi met us at the apartment to give us the keys and a map, briefed us on the area, kissed us on both cheeks and left us to a wonderful week in beautiful Barcelona~!

P. S. A couple of tips:
We had planned to take the Aerobus from the airport to the apartment, but took a cab instead (approx 23 Euro) because we had been delayed flying in and we were exhausted. Later we walked to the Plaza Espanya where the airport bus drops you off, and I'm glad we took the taxi because I'm not sure we would have easily found the apartment by walking, especially on the first day.
Buy the T-10 ticket (10 rides for under 10 Euro at the ticket machine in the metro station). It is 50% cheaper than buying tickets individually and everyone in your party can use the same ticket. It is good for the buses too (except the Aerobus).
Buy your ticket to Sagrada Familiia online, before you leave home, and you will beat the very long line to buy tickets there.
Bus 24 to Park Guell, you can catch it on Parellel street. Have fun!
