The most beautiful apartment. What you see is what you get. A beautiful mix of old (the ceiling with ornaments, the tiles, the blinds) and new (a totally equiped kitchen, bathroom, good beds).
The location is perfect. Metro and trainstation nearby. Great bars, lunchrooms, restaurants. Between the locals. The tourist invasion is a few blocks down.
Plaza Catalunya is a 10 minute walk over the nice Rambla de Catalunya or the more crowded Passeig de Gracia.
And last but not least, Adriana. She is a great host. When we arrived, there was water and juice in the fridge and a plate with tasty fresh figs. So nice and thoughtful!
For restaurant recommendations she knows the nicest places.
We had an early flight to Barcelona, before check-in time, but we could leave our suitcase at the apartment so we had our hands free to enjoy our first day in Barcelona.
We stayed 5 days and we would definitely come back to Adriana's place!
