Lisa was an amazing host. No doubt about it, the reviews are completely accurate about her amazing communication, and little touches that make your stay even more fantastic. Lisa provided insight for metro, things to do, and a book to help guide us through Barcelona. Lisa's apartment is just around the corner from the amazing Sagrada Familia, and you can see the lights from the steeple in a reflection across the street. The apartment is very close to grocery, and other meal spots, and starbucks is around the corner, as well as pubs and other great stops. The fact that the apartment isn't directly looking at Sagrada Familia is perfect, as once you see how many people come to admire the amazing Gaudi masterpiece, you will count your blessings that you are far enough away from the noise and traffic, but close enough to enjoy the splendor at night, or walk easily to the metro Line 5! We utilized Line 5 everyday to take it to Sants Station, or other transfers to Line 3, to easily get to La Rambla, Barceloneta Beach, Park Guell, or Casa Mila/Batllo. So many easy options from Lisa's amazing apartment. Walk, take the bus, Metro train. It is all right there. We traveled with a 10 year old and 4 year old, and the apartment was perfectly suited to have them with us. The kitchen is perfect for use if needed, as well as a washer for clothes. The shower was ample, and toilet space worked perfectly. You will not be disappointed. As others have said, the stairs are a-plenty, the apartment is on the 4th floor, this does not count the main level in the mix, so technically you are walking 5 flights of stairs... But who cares! For the value and the fact that if you came to Spain, you must be an explorer and willing to walk, and explore to see the amazing sights! We had no problem getting our blood flowing with the stairs, and neither should you. Our children were entertained as they counted the 140 stairs each time we went up and down. WELL worth the great deal and location, not at all unhappy about one aspect of Lisa's amazing apartment. She is an awesome host, gracious, provides great communication, oh And the internet is super fast too! Thank you Lisa.. I dare say we will be back one day!
