The apartment and Julia's personal greeting was SUPERB! She explained everything about the apartment and the local area upon our arrival. There were 7 of us who had traveled from the US to spend 5 nights in Barcelona to celebrate my sons wedding and we immediately felt at home and comfortable the moment we stepped inside. Julia accommodated our early arrival so we did not have to wait until normal check in after traveling for 18+ hours. The apartment provides a split plan, with common areas in the front of the apartment (along with one bedroom in the front with a private bath) and the other 3 bedrooms in the back. The back 3 bedrooms would be considered as including the master bedroom with private bath, and an en suite sharing a bath (ideal for couples with kids, or in our case, my daughter and me in one room and mother in another who shared a bath). Both of the back bedrooms have their own private balcony overlooking the streets of Barcelona! Besides the groceries we wanted, there was NOT ONE additional thing that we needed while there. Julia provided more than the basic essentials offered in many airbnbs like an iron, hairdryers, curling irons, hairspray, washer/dryer with laundry detergent, plenty of blankets for the amazing covered outdoor sitting area, coffee/expresso, sugar, spices, oil, candles, earplugs, sewing kit, nail polish remover, first aid items, shaving cream.....and much, much more! There was dishware provided for both every day use, as well as fine dining. The apartment is beautifully decorated (antique) and the pictures taken inside with the many unique features (at least for us) are priceless! We can't THANK JULIA enough for offering a wonderful place like this for travelers like us. The apartment is located centrally, with a pharmacy and small grocery store on the same block. Many options for various cuisines, i.e. Spanish, Mexican, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc are within walking distance. A larger grocery store is only a 7 minute walk. La Sagrada Familia is within walking distance and so is the beach. If you prefer to take a cab, most places cost between 5-10 euros to get to. Our safety was not of concern in the area.
