Mireia’s apartment is in a wonderful location for getting around Barcelona. We stayed for 4 nights and walked most places and only really used the subway for longer trips and getting the Aerobus to the airport. The Metro stop is only a block away! The apartment is efficient although one could say perhaps a bit spartan in its furnishing. We would have liked a couple small rugs to soften the feel of the very clean wood floors, and maybe a more comfortable chair or sofa for relaxing. It is really a personal preference thing, I suppose. The photo’s in the listing are accurate, though. The kitchen amenities are fine and one could cook in if that is your inclination. We confess to not being comfortable with the espresso pot, although Ross did show us how to use it. However, there are plenty of places to grab an espresso or cappuccino close by. Ross met us upon our arrival and provided a thorough overview of the apartment and made suggestions for meals, both real close and further afield. We had a lovely dinner at Candela, one of his suggestions. We would have loved to spend more time on their terrace, which boasts a view of both Sagrada Familia and even a bit of the sea. However with temperatures in the mid 60’s Fahrenheit and often windy, it was just a bit too chilly to spend much time out while we were there. So, if you are looking for a clean, well located place, this apartment works great.
