This is a splendid holiday retreat in mid-town with the charms of an archetypical 1900s building, original stucco and Catalan floor tiles, incomparably in the thick of Barcelona a hotel can never give you! The apartment must have been refurbished very recently: luxurious shower-bath and brand new kitchen. The air- conditioning is phantastic, almost inaudible and cools down in literally 10mins. The little extras (e.g. bottle of wine) gave the stay-over an extra personal touch ;-) Very happy and I will be back for sure, thank you!
