The appartment was about 10 minutes from place de catalunya which is a very popular spot in barcelona so it was easy to find. The bus from the airport also stops at that spot so you don't have to walk through the whole city to get at the appartment. The appartment itself was in front of the arc de triompf so you have an amazing view from the balcony. The place looked exactly like the pictures and when we arrived there was a very kind young lady waiting for us to show us around in the appartment. She also recommended the nice restaurants and bars we could go to in the neighbourhood. We've had acces to all the first needs a person need. In short it was a very nice stay at Xaviers' place!
