We have really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona - and in Marzia&Dario apartment. It's situated in a quiet, family neighbourhood, very close to the beach (5 min. tops) and overlooks a charming old square. It's easy to get from here to various places in BCN via subway and buses. And - what's really important - there are plenty of shops and restaurants/bar around. The apartment was just enough for our family of 3. It's children friendly and well equipped, though needs a bit of refreshing. The hosts - Marzia and Dario were very kind and communicated with us express-fast;)
