The apartment is as good as it sounds in the write-up and as it looks in the photos. It has everything you need and is very well laid out for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Mike is a great host, excellent communications, efficient and friendly check-in, great flexibility and provides not only the essentials, such as milk, coffee pods and washing powder etc, but also a nice bottle of local wine.
The location is really good, walking distance to La Rambla and the Gothic Quarter etc, and with close access to the Metro and buses. There are lots of great cafes, bars and restaurants close by, with good local food and wine and outdoor dining. There are also supermarkets very close. The neighbourhood feels really safe and the apartment is quiet at night.
I would highly recommend this apartment for a stay in Barcelona.
