We would highly recommend this apartment, fabulous location in walking distance of the centre of Barcelona, surrounded by lots of independent shops and restaurants. Filippo was really helpful in finding out what was happening over the Christmas period and recommending places to eat. The apartment is clean and spacious with everything you need make it a home from home. We made good use of the outside terrace and even had a daily visit from a gorgeous ginger cat which made up for us leaving ours at home. The area is a lovely local neighbourhood without the full on crowds of central Barcelona.
