The apartment is a roomy, comfortable, and clean oasis in the heart of Barcelona. You could not do better for a location or value. You can walk to most destinations easily, but you steps from the metro and cabs are right there if you need one. Airport is also very convenient. The apartment is right next door to a wonderful department store with a full, gourmet grocery with take-away. Despite being so central, the apartment is quiet and the beds are great for sleeping. Great kitchen and comfy sofa. Good wifi. Everything works in the apartment and Francois is a super responsive host. He gave us excellent recommendations and answered all our questions. Communication was excellent. We loved Barcelona and the apartment and would definitely stay with Francois again!
