My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ivan's apartment. It was exactly as described and quiet. It is on the top floor with a lift and just perfect for two. The view towards the sea is fantastic from the small terrace with the sun shining on to the terrace from early morning until around noon. The apartment is very fresh and clean and there was everything we needed. Couldn't find the clothes pegs initially as we didn't notice there was a drawer under the cooker! The bed was as comfortable as others have mentioned. We booked the apartment based on price and reviews. The reviews were reassuring and proved to be accurate - not one bad review. The locality was slightly further out than we would have liked but have no regrets as the transport links were excellent. In fact we had a lovely walk from the apartment to the beach one day, taking in the shops and hostelries en route - very satisfying! Please do take the hop on/off bus - we didn't get off either of the two routes but we saw places we wouldn't have seen otherwise, along with learning the history of Barcelona. We then visited the places of interest to us on other days. We bought the 10 day journey travel ticket, 10 euros, which proved cost effective for us - we spent 34 euros in total for the week and left the ticket behind for the next visitor to make use of. Lesseps tube station is 5 -10 minute walk - depends how fast you walk-turn right when you leave the building. There is a small supermarket next door which is open late and there are other food shops in the nearby streets along with cafes and places to stop off for a drink. Ivan is the perfect host and very willing to make sure you have a pleasurable stay. My one tip, please take comfortable, cool shoes with you.
