This apartment is a wonderful find and the perfect place to come home to after a busy day touring Barcelona. Elisabeth was an excellent hostess, and the apartment is beautiful, with good lighting, modern furniture, and many amenities. From fresh flowers to fruit and supplies for morning coffee, she's really hit on the details that make you feel both pampered and at home.
My partner and I arrived several hours before the unit's official check-in time, but I'd let Elisabeth know about a week in advance that this would be the case. She let us store our bags at her own apartment until the unit was ready for us to check in, and her husband even drove us and our luggage there after we explored the city for a little while.
The location for this apartment is excellent, especially if you'll be in the city for a few days: it's close enough to walk to Casa Mila, Park Guell, and the Sagrada Familia, but it's also nestled in a family neighborhood with lots of great coffee shops and restaurants. You'll see kids on their way to school in the morning, and you'll run into groups of friends heading out to dinner at night. It's also close to several key public transportation stops. The apartment is also stocked with plenty of maps, tourist guides, etc., and it's fun to see what pages other visitors have marked during their own stays.
If you're heading to Barcelona, don't miss this rental! It's tended to with love and will be a memorable part of your stay.
