After a few days in Barcelona and exploring different areas of the city I can say without a doubt the location of Maria'a apartment is excellent, we definitely would have had a different experience had we stayed somewhere else. The neighborhood was so clean and safe with many great restaurants, bakeries and shops nearby. The apartment itself is so beautiful, well-decorated, clean and spacious. I highly recommend this place, it's 100% worth it and Maria was wonderful, helpful and responsive host. Thank you so much, Maria!
