What a wonderful apartment! We had a fantastic stay at Eloy & Maria's and it absolutely felt like home. Don't be put off by the fact that the place doesn't have a balcony or windows facing the street - it is actually an advantage having the apartment face the inner courtyard, since you hardly hear any street noise. The extensive windows along the entire back wall make the place very sunny and bright, and this added to the wonderful feel of the apartment. The beds were excellent and the whole place was very clean and thoughtfully arranged, and the fact that there is a weekly cleaner is a real advantage. The location is another huge advantage - walking distance to the main sites, metro stations close to hand, and wonderful shops, bakeries, and markets in the same block. The Conservatori Municipal de Musica de Barcelona is a block away, with free concerts at 8pm three times a week. A really outstanding apartment and location in Barcelona.
