From check-in, it was clear that this would be a great experience. In addition to a tour of the apartment, we received great local information on which restaurants and sites would be the best for us to see. The apartment looked exactly like the pictures, and had thoughtful touches like welcoming us by name on a chalkboard in the entryway. There was a functional washer and dryer on the balcony, and that was great for our week-long trip.
The neighborhood of Poble Sec felt very safe, and was very close to tons of local tapas places. Instead of getting ripped off on food at tourist traps in the city center, it was great to be able to come home and get some great, affordable food at any time of the day.
My family loved our vacation in Barcelona, and would not hesitate to stay with Linus again if we return in the future.
