We have just returned from a long weekend in Barcelona and stayed at this lovely rustic apartment. Jose, the owner and his daughter Carla were waiting for us on arrival and made us feel very welcome. The apartment is simply decorated and was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay and we found the beds very comfortable. Barcelona can be a little chilly at night in February, but the AC doubled up as heating so it wasn't a problem. The creme de la creme was opening the Patio doors to reveal the most spectacular view of the Sagrada Familia. We never got tired of looking at it and every day seemed to show something new to us. The location of the apartment was perfect for our daily expeditions. We prefer walking, but the are ample buses & taxis's outside the cathedral and the metro station is a 2/3 min walk from the apartment. There are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby if you don't want to bother with the Ramblas in the evening. It was lovely to be able to come back to the apartment for a nice cup of tea and put your feet up after a long day walking and sight seeing. Due to the apartment overlooking a major junction, there is there is some traffic noise, especially in the morning, but I used earplugs and slept like a baby. All in all, we had a fabulous time and would not hesitate booking this apartment again.
