After our train arrived our GPS sent us in a round about way to the apartment, but Alba was there to greet us and then took us on a tour of the very nice accommodations. The apartment was even nicer than the photos portrayed, having a very clean, crisp feel and a contemporary style. Very comfortable bed and lots of storage. Perfect for the two of us (although the toilet is probably not for very tall men - a bit close to the cabinet). Alba gave us lots of introductory information about Barcelona and sites to see, and was extremely quick to respond to any questions we had during our entire 8 day stay.

The location was wonderful - one of our favorites over our 5 week trip, and in a quiet neighborhood full of families, young adults and locals. It was away from the congested tourist area, but the 5 minute walk to the Metro (most popular line) made it extremely easy to get anywhere in Barcelona - and we did! There were many spots within 5 - 10 minutes walking distance from the apartment for groceries and quick tapas and Pinxo's, as well as delicious full menu restaurants - some among the most highly rated in Barcelona. Also 5 -10 min. walking distance to the light/fountain show near Placa de Espanya as well as the Aerobus to and from the airport.

Highly recommended!!
