Gemma was great! She was very warm and my family felt very welcomed. She was also very helpful throughout our stay in Barcelona and her restaurant suggestions were very good.

The location of the apartment is exactly what we were looking for - a stone's throw away from a convenient metro station and located in a very local and safe neighbourhood. We were probably the only tourists within a 1 km radius! If you are looking to be in the heart of the La Rambla area, then this may not be for you. But if you are looking to live like the locals for a few days, then this is it! There are many good restaurants within walking distance and supermarkets as well, with a small one that is opened 24 hours.

The apartment itself is not exactly 5 star but comfortable enough. I strongly recommend it for families or small groups who are willing to do some form of housekeeping themselves with the benefit of seeing a (good!) side of Barcelona that not many tourists get to see.
