This was a wonderful apartment. The living area was even more spacious than the pictures could show. The large windows brought in so much light. It was bright and clean and very comfortable. A lovely place to hang out and relax after being out all day and before going to dinner. The location was great. Enough away from the big tourist sights to avoid crowds and noise and to feel very safe, yet close enough to walk everywhere. We easily walked to Plaza Catalunya and on to La Rambla and into the Gothic Quarter and all the way to the water. For dinner and for further places, a taxi ride was short and inexpensive, or you could take the metro.
Mariana met us at check in, was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay and, as she worked onsite, popped in to help us with a problem with the tv. She also arranged a taxi for our departure as we had to leave for the airport at 6:30 on a Saturday morning. As promised, the driver was waiting downstairs.
We would highly recommend this apartment and would stay here again next time we visit Barcelona.
