Absolutely perfect apartment for a couple's weekend break in Barcelona.
Joan was quick to respond to any queries I had prior to the trip, and Javier gave us a warm welcome which was greatly appreciated after arriving in a new city.
The apartment itself is light, airy, spacious (despite being essentially one room!) and beautifully decorated. It's fitted with just about everything you could wish for for a self-catering weekend.
Location is fantastic for the Sagrada Familia (3 mins walk) and, although walking to the beach and Gothic Quarter was lengthier (about 30 mins walk), we enjoyed being outside of the tourist throng. For a local tapas restaurant we recommend Zed, about 5 mins away. I'd recommend bringing earplugs with you, as it can be a little noisy come nighttime.
Overall, we were delighted with the apartment, and would thoroughly recommend it for your Barcelona break.
