This is an absolute gem of a place to stay in beautiful Barcelona. The communication by the hosts was excellent from the start, with Alex being very responsive to queries by email and Pilar giving us an extensive tour of the apartment when we arrived, as well as showing us a map of Barcelona and giving us some top tips about what to see and how to get around the city during our 3 day visit. The apartment is extremely light, quiet (despite its central location), clean, well equipped and well located. The air conditioning works very well and is quiet, the beds are comfortable, and the black out blinds meant that we could sleep in easily! We felt very much at home here and would heartily recommend this apartment to others.
