Wonderful location and beautiful accommodations! Our stay in Barcelona couldn't have been more perfect. From our very first communication, Mariana was quick and thorough in her responses. Our flight arrived a bit earlier than expected and she was able to accommodate us and grant us access. She spent time explaining the details of the apartment and recommendations for restaurants and sites. Her english was perfect, which was helpful since our Spanish is a bit rusty! Pictures do not do this apartment justice. Beautiful high ceilings, comfortable beds, tasteful decor, kitchen fully stocked with all necessary items for cooking and meticulously clean. The outdoor space was an added bonus. The location of the apartment had a nice neighborhood feel with easy walking access to all of Barcelona's sites. We love walking and spent most of our days in Barcelona wandering through the Gothic section, La Rambla and the many tasty markets. We recommend booking "Skip the Line" tours for many of the more famous sites you are interested in seeing: Sagrada Familia, Park Guell etc. This will prevent any long line headaches especially during peak tourist times (like Holy Week). We also booked a bike tour with Fat Tire Tours and spent the day learning the history of the city. Our tour guide Misha, was super knowledgable and engaging. It's very safe city for biking (with great bike lanes) and our kids (ages 13 and 14) loved it. I would highly recommend renting this apartment, it checked every box and more. If we return we will book again! Thank you Mariana and staff!
