Gerard's apartment was wonderful. It is situated in the Gothic quarter in an older building with high ceilings, exposed brick, and lots of charm. The location was perfect, and we were able to walk to the old city, the museums, and lots of restaurants and shops. Barcelona was extremely hot when we visited, so we did as the Spanish do, and spent most of our outdoor time in the morning and the evenings. In the middle of the day we did siesta and cooled off at the apartment with very good AC. The kitchen was well supplied, and we ended up having breakfast at the apartment nearly every morning. There is a bakery and a very large supermarket just around the corner. The beds were comfy, the showers had good pressure. We would definitely return to this apartment for our next Barcelona visit.
