Barbara communicated well with our arrival stay to make sure she was there for our arrival and walked us through the gorgeous apt and with all the necessities for working everything in it. She also took much time to inform us about the city and with a map showed us the directions around the famous areas as well as public transportation. The area we were staying felt very safe and easy access to all the restaurants and shops. I would highly recommend this apt and staying at any of Barbara's locations as she indicated she has other units as well. We fell in love with Barcelona and would definitely go back and stay in her apt.
