We had a wonderful stay at Maria’ s apartment. It is centrally located, within walking distance to many attractions. There is plenty of shopping and groceries around. The place is clean, spacious, and sunny because of many windows. There is an elevator but you do have to walk up a flight of stairs before you get to the elevator. The check in with Irene was easy and she was already waiting for us when we got there. You do have to call a landline upon your arrival in Barcelona. Overall, a good apartment to stay in!
