We loved this amazing place, it's a beautiful apartment with everything you could need. We travelled light, with only hand luggage, so were very grateful for the fresh bread, coffee, towels and other essentials which were there for us. The neighbourhood is great, lots of restaurants including the fantastic 'La Panxolina' which served delicious tapas even the children couldn't get enough of. Lalola also served us well with big portions and a child friendly menu. The kids loved the sweet shop, Papabubble, where you can watch the sweets being made and it's close to the aquarium and Barceloneta beach which they also loved. We booked tickets online in advance for the Sagrada Familia, Picasso gallery, aquarium and a football match at Camp Nou which saved us hours of queuing time. The tourist bus was also a good way to show the kids the city when their legs were tired although it's not cheap.
We can't wait to visit again to do all the things we didn't fit into this trip and we would definitely return to Pablo & Franziska's place. Many thanks to their friend, Ivan, who made everything easy!
